dominican ways of life
the dominicans are roughly nine millions people in the half island and more or lest two millions more abroad, and that part of the dominican population send millions of dolars each year(every year they send more euros also) last year it amount to more than three thousand millions dollars, money than came directly to their homes in the country and its used to pay goods, food and other expenses.
another important source of money is the explotation of our beaches that are loved in all of europe,and northamerican, almost all the hotels are owened by foreign investors mostly from europe(spanish, some frenchs like "accor") those hotels represent the single most important source of international convertible funds.
we also have big mines of niquel, and gold(the third largest gold mine its pueblo viejo in cotui in the northern part of the island) but not much people live from that
we also export vegetables and a big part of the population still lives in the country farming and atending cattle earning poor incomes and having bad education and a lot of insalubrity. anyhow most of the dominican population live from the terciare sector of the economy :services, they sell, deliver,clean,ect in stores, banks,houses,in the street,ect
there also another aspect that its sad but true:
a big part of the dominican polutation are belonging to: the lumpenproletaitede
they steal, prostituete themselves, sell drugs or other illegal things and so on...

dominican way of life
being a small country on a small island(wich its also share with another small country)that it s located in the middle of the americas and the atlantic, we have a very rich and vibrant but also young cultural live(by young i mean lest than five centurys) the spanish wipe the indigenes population, their language and most of their tradition, also the spanish subjuyated a lot of africans and change their culture, later on we have been influence by the globalization and our cercany to the usa.
we dance, eat, sing,study,and even pray in english at the rhitmic of the yanquis in the upper class of our sociaty, every singer that gets popular in the usa become popular in the dominican republic, same thing with tv shows, internet pages ect.
but at the same time more the cultural live get energy from its own core and the biggest part of the population enjoy their countrymade movies, sing bachatas and merengues and eat dominicanized versions of the yanquis food(yanqui means from the usa)

dominican music
we have to very popular forms of dance music, both of then had europpeans thecnics, but africans rhitms, "el merengue" the oldest one its very popular in america, has a three part style and it is played with acordeoan, "tambora"( of african origin) and "guira" and original instrument made of metal.
"the bachata" its a lot younger and was never as popular as the merengue but more and more young people had taken a like to it.
its a dance also but lest rhitmic and its principal instrumnet is the guitarr
also the lyrics of the songs are of the utmost importance. being always sad and written in a very popular style(popular meanig how the people talks)
