The Modern Bachateros : 27 Interviews, Paperback / softback Book

The Modern Bachateros : 27 Interviews Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

The guitar-based music known as bachata was born in the Dominican Republic in the early 1960s.

Brought to the U.S. by Dominican migrants, it has continually developed to reflect the changing tastes of fans and musicians.

Bachata became increasingly popular among younger Dominican Americans in the 1990s and 2000s.

This generation of artists reshaped the music, blending multiple genres with Spanish and English lyrics to reflect their multicultural reality.

In this book, 27 artists share their personal and collective insights into how modern bachata provides an intimate representation of what it means to be Dominican, Latino, multicultural, and bilingual in a transnational setting.
