Las Chicas Del Can is a famous and extremely successful all-female merengue group from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Originally created by Wilfrido Vargas, several teams of female vocalists and musicians have alternately performed under the name Las Chicas del Can throughout the group’s history.
Originally founded in 1982, Las Chicas del Can performed hit after hit throughout the eighties, and a great number of their singles and albums achieved gold and/or platinum status. Hits such as El Negro No Puede, La Media María, Sukaína, Juana la Cubana, Culeca, Ta’ Pillao, Fuego, Fiebre, and Las Pequeñas Cosas are now considered “classics” of merengue music.
