Summary

"Bachata--a guitar-based romantic music that debuted in Santo Domingo's urban shantytowns in the 1960s--is today one of the hottest Latin genres. This book interweaves bachata's history and development with the socio-political context of Dominican identity in both the national and international community. Research is enriched with interviews conducted with bachata musicians and producers, radio announcers, and experts."--, Provided by publisher
