Colonel Juan Bautista Alfonseca Baris (June 23, 1810 – August 9, 1875) was a Dominican officer and composer in the Dominican War of Independence, known for his role in the development of merengue music. Though the music written by Alfonseca was not, at the time, specifically labeled as "merengue", its incorporation of Dominican folk motifs into Latin formal music such as the danza paved the way for that genre, causing many to label him "the father of merengue".
