What is the Bachata?

The Bachata is a musical genre born in the Dominican Republic around the 1960s, who developed mainly among the poorest social classes who wanted to get fun by dancing after an impegnient day of work. The lyrics of the songs were very sad and expressed the difficulties of that social context and had ballad mainly in malfached clubs frequented by prostitutes, military and peasants. Music is a fusion of traditional African and Spanish elements. From an etymological point of view, the word Bachata is synonymous with celebration, fun where singing, dance and music united in a mix of courtesy, friendships, love relationships. Everything took place in the neighborhoods, also seasoned by a lot of alcohol.

Its evolution

It was thanks to a local radio, Radio Guarachita, that the Bachata began to spread throughout the country, reaching Europe in the mid -1980s. Luis Diaz, Victor Victor and above all Juan Luis Guerra have contributed to "exporting" this musical genre. Among the most famous singers of our days who have recorded records of this musical genre we cannot fail to mention Ricky Martin and Marc Anthony.

The "ancient" and "modern" Bachata

Even the predominant social classes, who had always shyded the Bachata because they were therefore began to appreciate it and even dance it appreciating its rhythm, the arrangements and the rhythmic evolutions have speeded the songs, removing them from the typical sweet rhythm of the past.

It is a game between two people, between man and woman, who makes you feel free and spontaneous. There are no rules, if not to "play, dance and live intensely until music sounds".

How do you dance?

Simple! You have to take 4 steps to the right and 4 more steps on the left, and repeat the sequence eight times. The weight change from one leg to another is very important. This facilitates the movement of the pelvis. Remember to bend your leg as you take the step while the other leg will remain stretched out. So, if you fold your left leg, the pelvis will go to the right, if you fold your right leg, the pelvis will go to the left. In addition to the pleasure of dancing, it will help you lose weight, relax, feel less stressed and your mood will improve considerably. Those who are shy will benefit from it by improving their self -esteem and those who suffer from insecurity will be helped by the awareness of being achieved objectives and will have the opportunity to express their creativity and originality. On a physical level, beyond weight loss, the Bachata acts mainly on the circulatory system, improving blood circulation and reducing its pressure.
