History of Bachata
Bachata is a popular dance music originating in the Dominican Republic. It is considered a hybrid Bolero (bolero rhythm on the whole) with other musical influences such as the hallway, the huapango and Son Cubano, among others.
In the recent past, music was disdained as the lower classes, and was known as "music of bitterness."It was barely heard on the radio stations, (with the exception of a few). This interest arose from the 80s, with the expansion of mass media, with the boom in tourism, and the effort of some composers who saw that had emerged from a gender differential expression of the popular. Authors such as Juan Luis Guerra and Victor Victor in the 90s, and Luis Dias in 80’s, brought a different musical expression that is linked with the marginal urban. The expansion of tourism in the Dominican Republic from 80, did win popularity, and became a genre that has permeated all levels and areas of the country and internationally.
The so-called Latin American bolero rhythm of 30 to 50 years entered the popular taste of the Dominicans. These boleros mixed with other Latin American expressions that were popular in the 50s in Dominican Republic (the Mexican corrido, the huapango, the Cuban bolero, the hallway, the waltz, etc.), and was the author of singing and singers such as Julio Jaramillo y Olimpo Cárdenas (Ecuador); Paquitín Soto, Odilia Gonzalez (El Jibarito de Lares, the Cock of Manati, Jose Antonio Salaman, Felipe Rodriguez and Daniel Santos (Puerto Rico); Rolando Lasserie, Bienvenido Granda, Orlando Contreras, Celio Gonzalez, Orlando Vallejo and Antonio Machín (Cuba); Guthi Cardenas, Luis and Tony Aguilar and Cuco Sanchez (Mexico), and Felipe Pirela (Venezuela) who inspired popular musicians such as Jose Manuel Calderon Figueroa Tomy, Inocencio Cruz and Rafael Encarnación, an articulate expression of the Dominican Republic in 1960.
The music of Jose Manuel Calderon was popular not only for its beautiful lyrics but also for his great strength and interpretative transmitting the feeling in his songs. Calderon accumulated many successes in his career such as "Human Snake," "Moon," "Save me" and more. At this time, Rafael Encarnación captivated fans of the rhythm, but his career was cut short by his death in a traffic accident, which lasted just under two years in the artistic medium.
You may think that at this early stage, Bachata was a marginal music just heard on the so-called cabarets or brothels. However, as part of cultural machinery that was supported by a local record label that also had a national radio station: The Guarachita. This company is promoted and distributed for consumption of music such marginal social groups, migrants from the countryside to the city and with the fall of the dictatorship of Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, unleashed the sub-urban population in Dominican cities.
A second phase appears to be related to the emergence of a second generation of singers who were promoted by the producer. It was raised and voices like those of Luis Segura, Melida Rodriguez ( "suffering") and Leonardo Paniagua, which constitute part of an expression that was popular in the 70s and 80s, when they decline in favor of the most refined of bachata, using electronic instrumentation, mergers with other forms of modern music (as Luis Dias experiments with Dominicans and other Caribbean rhythms).
Luis Segura could be called the father of this second phase. With his success "sorry for you" in the early'80s, he opened another page in the history of this rhythm. That song's popularity grew at a rate that was not the host to become an expression with his own merits. From this success, it was stripped off this musical expression the aura of shame that generated no popular classes.
A third phase appears to be constituted by the emergence of forms for recording the digitized bachata, the introduction of air and other instruments, and a new sense of poetry, whose letters not pronounced, as in previous phases, the double meaning erotic sex the insinuation of an imaginary based on the concrete, but in pursuit of a more verses poetically formulated with finest literary images, even while appealing to the sense that it gave rise: the expressions of love and affection, nostalgia and proposal lifestyle where the woman is the source of love and desire.
At this stage, Bachata is internationalized, and acquires an unprecedented boom. The Guarachita disappears completely and your station. It appears the figure of the entrepreneur and sponsor international art and artists of bachata become the idols of crowds. Voices like Teodoro Reyes, Joe Veras, Luis Vargas, Anthony Santos, Yóskar Sarante, Raulin Rodriguez, Zacarias Ferreira, among others, are the legion of new stars of the genre. Appear duos (Monchy y Alexandra) and groups (group Aventura), which are part of the new generation of artists, some of them not born in the Dominican Republic.
Bachata, plays the same spirit melancholic, nostalgic and loving animosity from other Latin American musical expressions known as the tango-song of the neighborhood of Buenos Aires, where he combined the passionate animosity (love-hate) with the nostalgia of the migrant. As in Bachata know this nostalgia in the musical expression of the fact that this coincided with the peak period of the culture sub-urban from the rural-urban migration since 1961. During this period became known as "Bitter Music" in this sense that evokes nostalgia.
In the early stages, many of the national musical artists rejected as bachata genre or musical style, but now, artists have made a reputation in that bachatas genre is recorded and performed in concert.
