/Sounds like 'peh-REE-ko ree-PYA-o'/
Traditional Dominican merengue played with accordion, tambora drum, and güira scraper. Perico ripiao is the rawest, most authentic form of merengue — rooted in the countryside and inseparable from Dominican cultural identity.
"The party kicked off with traditional merengue and nobody stayed seated."
"My grandfather played perico ripiao beautifully."
