Alexandra (Greek: Αλεξάνδρᾱ) is the feminine form of the given name Alexander, which is a romanization of the Greek name Αλέξανδρος (Alexandros). Etymologically, the name is a compound of the Greek verb ἀλέξειν (alexein) "to defend" and the noun ἀνδρός (andros), genitive of ἀνήρ (anēr) "man". Thus it may be roughly translated as "protector of man". The name was one of the titles ("epithets") given to the Greek goddess Hera and as such is usually taken to mean "one who comes to save warriors". The earliest attested form of the name is the Mycenaean Greek a-re-ka-sa-da-ra, written in Linear B syllabic script.
Monchy y Alexandra were a bachata musical group from the Dominican Republic. They sang together as a duo beginning in 1999. Their first big hit was "Hoja en Blanco", which they released in 1999. Since then, they had many other hits, such as "Hasta El Fin" and "Perdidos", both from their 2004 album "Hasta El Fin", as well as "No Es Una Novela" from their 2006 "Éxitos y Más" album. They have been often credited with being instrumental in popularizing bachata music outside of the Dominican Republic.
Monchy (real name Ramón Rijo , born 19 September 1977 in La Romana) first performed in a group in the Dominican Republic, which earned him a place in the recording of the Bachatazos series of releases.
Alexandra (full name Alexandra Cabrera de la Cruz, born 19 October 1978 in Santo Domingo) was attending a university in 1998, but her studies were put on hold when the opportunity arose to audition for arranger/producer Martires De Leon and executive producer Victor Reyes, who were looking for someone to pair with Monchy. Alexandra won and began the duo that would become Monchy & Alexandra.

Genres: Crime, Drama, Mystery, Short,Wenn am großen Strom der Abend niedersinkt,
die Nebel der Dämmerung ziehn,
wenn im Rauschen der Wellen der Tag verklingt,
überall bunte Lichter erglühn.
Wenn am großen Strom die tiefe Nacht beginnt,
dann steh' ich am Fenster noch lang,
und es ist mir, als hört' ich von fern im Wind,
deiner Stimme verloren Klang.
Über Meere weit fliegt mein Herz zu dir,
fliegen all meine Träume hinaus,
eines Tahes kommst du zurück,
kommst du wieder zum Strom nach Haus.
Früher spielten wir am grünen Uferstrand,
wie sehnten wir uns in die Welt,
und ich fühlte mich wieder im Kinderland,
wenn am Strom die Dämmerung fällt.
Über Meere weit fliegt mein Herz zu dir,
fliegen all meine Träume hinaus,
eines Tages kommst du zurück,
komsst du wieder zum Strom nach Haus.
