Bachata
|
 |
After decades of segregation as music of “low-class” society, the bachata had a renaissance
in the 80’s when Juan Luis Guerra y la 440 launched their successful album Bachata Rosa. One
of the most known features of this music genre is that it embodies the feelings of the
working class- its stories of love, pain, alcoholism, affairs, friendships, betrayal, etc.
With roots in bolero and son, bachata is, along with merengue, a representative of traditional
Dominican Republic’s music. Artists such as: Antony Santos, Joe Veras, Frank Reyes, Raulin
Rodríguez and Zacarias Ferreira can be found here.

Flamenco
|
 |
The exact origin of flamenco is unknown. The most popular theory is that this music came to
life in the region of Andalucia, Spain, through the gypsy community that had been influenced,
in its many trips, by cultures as such as: Roman, Arabic, Jewish, etc. What is not doubt is
that nothing distinguish the Madre Patria as the singing, the dance, the clapping, the
castanets, and the guitar riffs of Flamenco music. In our station you can listen to the
classics (Gipsy Kings, Carmen Amaya, Paco de Lucia) and the contemporary (Ketama, Nina Pastori).
