Areas of Operation:
We operate gift programs throughout the Caribbean, offering a combination of Caribbean/tropical items,
general items, and then working with local artisans on each island. We do promotional items, and we use it
to supplement more unique and local items to provide a nice combination of gifts. We have done programs
in Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama, Cayman Islands, Virgin Islands, Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, Dominican
Republic, Jamaica, among others. We’ll generally work with any size group and work within whatever
budget or theme you may require. For some of the larger destinations, we do have trustworthy people to
assist us locally. Based on the particulars, we will do a proposal that takes into account the client interests
and priced according to quantity requested. Being based in a U.S. territory means that we can ship your
treasures to you via the U.S. mail, UPS, DHL, or FedEx. Shop and get a bit of the islands sent to you.
Primarily based in Puerto Rico, we partner with all of the major resorts and DMC’s on the island. When you
come to Puerto Rico, visit our company store in Palmer right at the base of the Caribbean National Forest,
El Yunque, located in the rugged Sierra de Luquillo, 40 km southeast of San Juan (latitude 18º 19’ N,
longitude 65º 45’W). Or perhaps it may be easier sailing to our store on Palomino Island, the private Island
of the LXR El Conquistador resort. (latitude 18º 45’ N, longitude 65º 83’W)

Music
Dominican Republic Cd
FOB: USA – Great as a Pre-program Teaser!
Beautiful and surprising music from this often-overlooked Spanish Carribbean country. While the
music of Cuba and Puerto Rico has been making headlines recently, Putumayo World Music
traveled to the often-overlooked Spanish Caribbean country of the Dominican Republic to discover
some of the most beautiful and surprising music we've ever heard. The collection is a tribute to the
music and culture of a fascinating Caribbean country and will appeal to fans of Latin, African and
world music. You'll love this exploration of bachata, merengue and son from the Dominican
Republic.
Like its Spanish Caribbean cousins Cuba and Puerto Rico, Dominican culture is a blend of African
and Spanish elements with hints of a long-lost Native American legacy. While pop merengue hits
have dominated the Latin popular music scene for some time, the local music of the Dominican
people remains largely undiscovered outside of the community.
Republica Dominicana features rootsy Dominican son (a cousin of the Cuban version) and traditional merengue, the bouncy Caribbean
party music for which the country is best known. The focus, however, is on bachata, a fascinating blend of African percussion, Iberian
melodies, and sly, prominent guitar playing that sounds like a mixture of West African soukous, South American harp and Spanish flamenco.
