Rosa Reyes of Los Amigos del Amargue ensemble, will be discussing as well as demonstrating the music style of Bachata.

Bachata music is a genre from the Dominican Republic known for its guitar-driven, romantic sound, often expressing themes of heartbreak, and its connection to an intimate, four-step dance.

Its origins are in the slow-tempo bolero, but it has evolved to include electric guitars, electronic instruments, and influences from R&B, pop, and hip-hop, leading to a diverse modern sound.
