What dance-oriented music genre is similar to Merengue?
Banda Calypso Volume 6 Volume 6 is the sixth album by Banda Calypso, released in 2004. The album features a very sentimental content with much of romantic ballads, was not very danceable rhythms like Cumbia or Merengue, but did not miss the dance musicality that was ever brought. The disc is one of the classics of the band until today that is "A Lua Me Traiu", and some highlights like the songs "Ainda Te Amo", "Pra Todo Mundo ver", and the song "Minha Princesa" which was dedicated to Yasmin who was born shortly before the signal for disc burning music brings her crying before the last chorus.
Canción Canción ("song") is a popular genre of Latin American music, particularly in Cuba, where many of the compositions originate. Its roots lie in Spanish popular song forms, including tiranas, polos and boleros; also in Italian light operetta, French romanza, and the slow waltz. Initially, even when written by the creole population of Cuba, who opposed the ruling hierarchy, the music retained its European style of "intricate melodies, and dark, enigmatic and elaborate lyrics" (Orovio).
