Las Chicas del Can Sumbaleo Merengue 12" VINYL LP ALBUM

 Chicas del Can was a popular all-female merengue group from the Dominican Republic that rose to prominence in the 1980s and 1990s. The group consisted of several talented vocalists and musicians who combined their skills to create catchy, upbeat music that captivated audiences throughout the Caribbean and Latin America.

 The group was founded in 1983 by Wilfrido Vargas , a renowned musician and bandleader who had previously achieved significant success with his own merengue group. Chicas del Can was initially comprised of six members, including singers Belkis Concepción, Luchy Vicioso, and Mily Quezada, as well as instrumentalists Aura Rivas, Marina Franco, and Patricia Pereyra.

 From their early beginnings, Chicas del Can stood out for their unique sound and energetic performances. They quickly gained a loyal following of fans, and their popularity only continued to grow as they released hit after hit. Some of their most popular songs include "Juana la Cubana," "El Negro No Puede," and "La Loba."

 One of the key reasons for Chicas del Can's success was the group's ability to blend traditional merengue rhythms with contemporary pop and rock influences. They were known for their catchy hooks and memorable lyrics, which often addressed themes of love, heartbreak, and social justice. Their music was also infused with a strong sense of female empowerment, as the group's members sought to challenge traditional gender roles and stereotypes through their art.

 Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Chicas del Can toured extensively throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, performing at festivals and concerts to sold-out crowds. They also won numerous awards and accolades for their music, including several Latin Grammy nominations.

 Sadly, the group disbanded in 1998, after 15 years of creating music together. However, their legacy lives on, and their music continues to inspire and entertain fans around the world. Chicas del Can paved the way for other all-female merengue groups, and their influence can still be heard in contemporary Latin pop and dance music.
