Influenced by Iberian, African, and Indigenous cultures. Bachata is a traditional genre of music & dance originating from the Dominican Republic, developed during a time of government and media censorship. Bachata was first disparaged due to classism but is now a nostalgic keepsake for many Latin cultures. As Dominican people migrated outside the Dominican Republic, the opportunity for Bachata’s commercialization would take the genre to new heights.
