Historia General del Pueblo Dominicano Tomo VI

Historia general del pueblo dominicano 731 Francisco Henríquez Carvajal, defendiendo la bandera, dijo: « ¡No pueden mandar los yanquis en nuestra tierra!» Segunda parte El americano, como se entromete (repite); los haremos ir, dándoles machetes (repite). Los haremos ir, con fuerza y valor (repite); el americano, por abusador (repite). En tierra de Duarte, no pueden mandar (repite); los americanos, dijo Carvajal (repite). 55 Accordionist Bartolo Alvarado ( « El Ciego de Nagua») once said that « it was hard in those days; hardly anyone said things like that.

The paseo is an eight-measure march-like instrumental introduction which serves as a signal for couples to take the dance floor. It is followed by the « merengue» section, which features an eight-measure European-influences melody sung and played instrumentally several times to the accompaniment of major-mode harmonies. The final and longest section, the jaleo, consists of a two-measure repeating pattern based on dominant and tonic harmonies. Featuring interlocking rhythms performed on tambora, güira, accordion, and saxophone (if present), the jaleo exhibits a highly African-influenced aesthetic. Vocals in the jaleo consist of two rhyming couplets, each line of which is repeated once (see « La protesta» above). In addition to referring to the final part of a merengue, the term jaleo can denote the repeating figures played on accordion and saxophone during the jaleo section. Merengue performances thus include several accordion and saxophone jaleos, or patterns, many of
