MERENGUE DE MERLIN - DAVE MCKEOWN-

1) Adrián Ruíz Burgos
2) Juan A. Aldehuela
Merengue de Merlín is an exciting original composition by David McKeown, arranged as a duet for two Alto Saxophones.
This duet is based on the traditional Latin style of Merengue that emerged in the Dominican Republic during the Nineteenth Century. Merengue Tipico bands maintain the traditional instrumentation of the double-headed tambora drum, güira, accordion and vocal, while urban bands in the North American diaspora often add saxophone, bass and other percussion. The Merengue dance became hugely popular in the 1950s and new forms continue to draw audiences around the world.
