Quisqueya en el Hudson: Dominican Music in New York is an exciting, fast-paced journey through music from the Dominican Republic that has made New York City its home. This extraordinary assortment of Dominican styles in a single CD features the ever-popular merengue, folk-religious singing and drumming, working-class bachata dance music, the Dominican offshoot of the Cuban son, contemporary fusions, and much more. Showcasing artists who have performed in an annual summer festival in Washington Heights, it confirms that the joy, sadness, and spirit of Dominican music is alive and well in the Big Apple.
