Milly, Jocelyn y Los Vecinos was a highly successful New York-based Dominican Republic Merengue music group, unusual for being fronted by two sisters. In later albums the group became Milly Y Los Vecinos, and when the family group disbanded lead singer Milly Quezada went on to have an equally successful solo career.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
