Pambiche

A slower, more rhythmic style of merengue. The term is a local corruption of the English phrase Palm Beach, originating from an anecdote where musicians described the rhythm as a middle ground between other styles. (In the Dominican Republic, this style was famously developed during the U.S. occupation to accommodate dancers who preferred a less frantic pace than standard merengue).

I like how the slow Pambiche is danced.
