/Sounds like "peh" (as in "pet") + "REE" (as in "reed") + "koh" (as in "coat") + "ree" (as in "reed") + "PYAH" + "oh" (as in "oh")/
The most authentic form of traditional Dominican merengue, played with accordion, tambora drum, and guira scraper. Perico ripiao is the raw, rootsy original, born in the countryside long before merengue went commercial. When it plays, nobody stays seated.
“La fiesta arrancó con perico ripiao y nadie pudo quedarse sentado.”
“The party kicked off with perico ripiao and not a single person stayed in their chair.”
“Mi abuelo tocaba el perico ripiao de lujo.”
“My grandfather played perico ripiao beautifully.”

Güirila
A thick, slightly sweet corn tortilla from Nicaragua made from fresh young corn. Denser and softer than a regular tortilla, it is best eaten hot off the griddle with queso or cuajada (fresh curd cheese). A staple at market breakfasts and a beloved treat at family get-togethers.
