Christian music can be heard throughout Dominican Republic. Just walk past a church and listen. Some of the music is very formal and sacred while other types are very lively. Many times one can hear a band set up in the park playing. If you don't understand spanish you would think the bands were playing the typical music of the island, merengue or bachata. Sometimes it is nice to listen to positive lyrics, or the old traditional songs that people grew up with. There are also modern Christian bands plenty in the country. Rap, Reggaeton, Rock, Contemporary and Traditional Christian music. People expressing their belief and love for El Senor.
The holiday music here in Dominican Republic is wonderful. Of course here there is the old traditional Christmas songs. But the traditional Dominican Christmas songs are like the rest of the lively island music. Most are very danceable and alot of fun to listen to.
