Something very special in our culture is Dominican meringue.
The Dominican "merengue" is a lilting and lively man who has managed to extend his arm outside the national frontreras and settle in dance halls around the world.
A tradition that our country has is EL CARNAVAL. Carnival generally coincides with national holidays. Different cities organize their parades in which the influence of different cultures is remarkable. African roots are found in the numerous masks, made of papier-mache, feathers, clothing, and just about everything these elaborate accessories wear.
