Merengue is a musical style, usually upbeat, born in the Dominican Republic. Its characteristic melody is played with the tambora (a double-headed drum), the güira (a metal scraper instrument), and the accordion. It is the traditional music of the Dominican Republic. Learn about my country!

Merengue

Besides the national dance, this is the term for peach-flavored soda in the Dominican Republic. The name became popular because the beverage brand Country Club marketed this flavor under the name Merengue.

My breakfast was a piece of fresh string cheese with some crackers and a Merengue to wash it down.
