About this book

Bachata A Social History of a Dominican Popular Music by Deborah Pacini Hernandez. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781566393003.

Like rap in the United States, bachata began as a music of the poor and dispossessed. Originating in the shantytowns of the Dominican Republic, it reflects the social and economic dislocation of the poorest Dominicans.
