Méringue
Méringue ((ハイチ語:mereng)), also called ''méringue lente'' or ''méringue de salon'' (''slow'' or ''salon'' méringue), is a music genre and national symbol in Haiti. It is a string-based style played on the lute, guitar, and other string instruments unlike the primarily accordion-based ''merengue'', and is generally sung in Haitian Creole〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Meringue Dance )〕 and French, as well as in English and Spanish.〔The méringue is sung in many languages: In Cuba "tabatiem tonbe", in the USA "many tunes including "yellow bird" from Harry Belafonte, in French many tunes from great méringue bands such as Jazz des Jeunes, Orchestre Issa El Saieh, etc〕 ==History== Méringue was heavily influenced by the contredanse from Europe and then by Afro-Caribbean influences from Hispaniola. The blend of African and European cultures has created popular dance music, music played on simple acoustic instruments by artists who don't need theaters or microphones to show off their art. The term ''meringue'', a whipped egg and sugar confection popular in eighteenth-century France, was adopted presumably because it captured the essence of the light nature of the dance where one gracefully shifts one's weight between feet in a very fluid movement, animating the final section of the Haitian kontradans. It is said that the carabinier, a dance from Haiti originating back to the time of the Haitian Revolution, combined European dances accompanied by Kongo influences, deriving from a section of kontradans and is said to have evolved into the méringue. However, like almost all Latin American dances, the méringue can trace its origins back to the contredanse; the French dance that was hugely popular in Europe and the creolization of it by the use of the drums, poetic song, antiphonal song form, and imitations of colonial elite dance elements by the mulattos and the black slaves that had already begun to transform the genre.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A More In-depth Look at Merengue )〕
