THE ESSENCE OF THE DOMINICAN PEOPLE |
||
Until recently, many aspects of the Afro-Dominican culture were looked down upon by most in the Dominican Republic. But through the centuries that culture held on the countryside. Now, a new generation of singers and musicians are helping to bring palos and salves music, which are derived from religious rituals, to the mainstream Dominican audience.
