The guitar-based music known as bachata was born in the
marginalized barrios of the Dominican Republic in the early 1960s,
although it has constantly evolved to better represent the current
realities of its fans and musicians. Carried to the United States
with Dominican migrants, bachata became increasingly popular among
the younger generations of Dominican Americans in the 1990s and
2000s. This generation of artists reshaped bachata by blending
multiple genres with Spanish and English to reflect their
multicultural and multilingual realities. The thirty-one artists
included in this interview book share personal and collective
insights into how their modern bachata provides an intimate
representation of what it means to be Dominican, Latino,
multicultural, and bilingual in a transnational setting.
