About

This prefab Dominican merengue group may not please purists with their hyper-driven dance music, but they've lit up clubs across Central America and the Caribbean. Part of their charm stems from their rampant plundering of other styles: hip-hop, reggae, and meren-house, for starters. In fact, they're best described as a tropical pop group whose main aim is to please.
