Bachata: Why You’re Hearing This Dominican Rhythm Everywhere
Season 1 Episode 24 | 9m 29s
| Video has closed captioning.
Bachata music comes from the Dominican Republic in the 1960's but thanks to newer acts like Romeo Santos and Aventura, has blown up internationally. We visited the Mexican-American band La Santa Cecilia to learn how they mix latin genres with pop and rock. Join Nahre in learning about this distinctly latin rhythm as she attempts to create her own bachata fusion song.
