The genre became more popular years later with the start of Luis Dias' band Transporte Urbano,[1] successful bands such as Tribu Del Sol, Toque Profundo and Tabu Tek began to emerge.
Most songs are sung in Spanish, though some bands (like ALF, Mithril, and 42-01 for instance) also sing in English.
Although the rock scene stays local and rarely goes international, it is large within the Dominican Republic, especially in the nation's capital, Santo Domingo.
Some artists who have played there are "spam", González, Sociedad Tabú, Shido, TKR, Toque Profundo, Cronicas del Eco, and Nux.
One of the most popular venues was Donde L'Abuela, a house which is regularly volunteered for concerts, as well as a small bar called Stilo Club, where bands such as Los Pérex, La Reforma, La Armada, Pericles, Shido and Mulligan have played.
