Diasporal Dimensions of Dominican Folk Religion and Music" written by anthropologist Martha Ellen Davis, focuses on the Saint's festival and the music that comes from this festival. She provides general information on the format, but also provides us with a case study of the ritual event.

This source is authoritative as it comes from someone who is both an anthropologist and ethnomusicologist while also being a researcher at the National Archive in the Dominican Republic. She has been a part of field research in this subject for over 40 years and has experienced what she writes about first hand.

I mostly used this in my project to get a first glimpse into the culture contributions that the Afro-Dominicans have made on the Dominican Republic. I also used this to get a general description of the type of music that has evolved from African roots and to describe what this may sound like to someone who has never heard this type of music before.
