Origin of Bachata[edit]

Kizomba and Bachata are both marketed at the moment as "sensual dances", but that's all they have in common. Neither body movement nor music is related, is the edit of 2nd October meant as a joke? Please go back to something citing Bolero and Merengue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.38.102.166 (talk) 20:02, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I saw a great documentary film on Bachata and several of the great Bachata composers and interpreters that were interviewed talked about the fact that Bachata music was heavily influenced by the great Mexican boleros. If you listen to a lot of well-known bachata songs, many of them are remakes of Mexican boleros. I wish I could remember the name of the documentary film (it was on PBS). Hopefully someone will know the name and they can cite it for the historical/origins portion of this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Revolition (talk • contribs) 00:19, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ouch![edit]

"Bachata was created and primarily used by servants and dominican trash,listening of this music usually means one is of a lower class". I sense that whoever wrote this, to say the least, slightly disapproves of bachata, the Dominican lower classes, or Dominicans in general. I'm not Dominican, and yet I cringe when I see these words... can the editing party elaborate? Demf 06:25, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ivy Queen[edit]

I argue that Ivy Queen is indeed a modern bachata artist. She has more than enough songs to be a bachata artist, though it is not her main genre she still makes her mark in bachata. A list of songs of the back: Dime Si Recuerdas, Te He Querido, Te He Llorado, Sentimientos, Cosas De La Vida, La Vida Es Asi - Bachata Version, Amor A Primera Vista, Dime, Cupido, the list goes on and on. In my opinion Queen is a modern bachata artist, though for some reason she is removed from the list every now and then. -- DivaKnockouts (talk) 01:39, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bachata originated in PR[edit]

Jose Antonio Salaman started it in 1958, it didn't reach the DR til around 1960-61 with Calderon 2600:1700:6E71:720:5199:CEB9:93F3:C697 (talk) 04:33, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

the bolero is Cuban music and Hispanic historical heritage. Bachata comes from the Cuban boleros in the DR, inspired by Colombian, Puerto Rican, Cuban and Mexican music. Julio Jaramillo, an Ecuadorian singer, may have been a very great influence for the entire region, with his song Fatalidad, recorded in 1956. Was inspired heavily with many type of musicians.
