What Is Bachata? History & Character

Bachata is a dance from the Dominican Republic, and it is one of the hottest Latin dances today. It is a sensual dance where both partners bend their knees, and step from foot to foot, while creating body and hip movement. This dance has a unique movement at the end of every 4 steps – where instead of switching weight you “tap” the foot in place without weight. So there are a total of 6 weight changes and 2 “Tapping” steps within an 8 count of Bachata.

The Bachata Count & Music

The Bachata music uses a 4/4 musical structure with phrases of 8. You simply count the moves in counts of 8 – 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. Each count is a full beat. Alternatively you can count in 4s – 1,2,3,4 – 1,2,3,4. The Bachata music is very sensual and dramatic. Artists like Prince Royce have made a name for themselves by producing many top Bachata hits.

Bachata - the most sensual Latin American dance

Bachata - the most sensual Latin American dance

Through hardships to the stars - this is literally how you can describe the story of bachata, which fascinates with gentle and passionate choreography. Once this dance was banned in the highest circles. But the world is changing, as is everything around. And now it's hard to imagine a Latino-style party without bachata. It is danced by everyone who lives with real and sincere feelings. nine0003

What is bachata. Features of dance choreography

Bachata is one of the simplest Latin American dances in terms of choreography. It is based on a very close presence of partners in relation to each other during the execution of figures. This is the main feature of the style - sensual romanticism. At the same time, all movements are very smooth, wavy, the bodies of the dancers often touch, which gives the dance even more exciting moments. nine0003

What else is attractive about this genre?

  • Flexibility and plasticity of bodies, which is impossible not to notice when watching professional dancers.

  • The presence of complete harmony and understanding between partners. Otherwise, bachata loses its uniqueness.

  • A man is considered the leader in a pair. The woman follows him, accompanying her every movement with a smooth rotation of her hips.

    nine0010
  • The dance is not devoid of improvisation, which makes it even more exciting and exciting.

The history of the dance of the poor

Bachata originated in the Dominican Republic around the 60s of the XX century. First came the music, the sentimental melodies of which predetermined the sensual movements of the dance. But dancing and performing bachata in the Dominican Republic was considered bad manners. The style was firmly associated with the poor of the rural provinces - not a single person from the middle and upper strata of society dared to become like the poor. nine0003

In 1961, from the rural provinces, bachata came to the capital of the Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo. At that time, the direction was actively developing, attracting the attention of an increasing number of musicians. It was they who, inspired by the mood of the new genre, began to spread it across the territory of the republic. In addition, the political conditions were very favorable for this.

The fact is that until 1961 the Dominican Republic lived under the dictatorship of Rafael Leonidas Trujillo. His regime was distinguished not only by rigidity, but also by the monopolization of many spheres of public life. The music industry did not stand aside either: it was almost impossible to break into the stage and reach any heights in this easier way. Especially there was nothing to count on the performers of the music of the poor. nine0003

Trujillo's death opens the door to fame for many musicians. Among the first performers of bachata is José Manuel Calderon. All in the same 1961, he recorded "Borracho de amor" - the first single performed in the bachata style. The soloist in the composition is the guitar, without which it is difficult to imagine both this musical style and the dance itself.

The appearance of bachata in the country's capital did not mean a huge surge of interest and excitement around the style. "The impoverished past" pursued the direction of the word trail. In addition, it was initially difficult to call the genre original - the compositions of the early bachatas were rehashings of boleros and waltzes. Perhaps this also influenced the fact that the lyrics were devoid of jargon, characteristic of the poor areas of the Dominican Republic. nine0003

Bachata-bolero is one of the sub-styles of this direction. It is replaced by bachata cabaret. The name speaks for itself: music began to be performed in various cabarets. It is worth clarifying that cabarets in the Dominican Republic were brothels. Former rural musicians who came to the capital in search of fame and fortune flocked here. In fact, they had nowhere to go: in Santo Domingo, they "chosen" the poorest areas, where all human vices flourished. Add to this the desire of local music producers to popularize merengue and salsa in order to understand the development of bachata in those days. nine0003

"Junk music" - this is how bachata began to be called, predetermining the attitude towards it among Dominicans. And the genre, in turn, absorbed everything that happened around. The lyrics were filled with suffering from unrequited love, betrayal, poverty and hopelessness.

Despite the negative connotation, bachata-cabaret began to stand out as a separate genre. She allowed to talk about what other musical styles were silent about. And the musicians took advantage of this: not embarrassed in expressions, they sang about everything that surrounded them. nine0003

Modern bachata: from cabaret to international recognition

It took 40 years for this movement to appear before the public in the form in which it is known today. Around the beginning of the 80s, bachata takes on an increasingly danceable character. At the same time, the style is very popular due to the ambiguous texts that were filled with sexual context.

Feeling the needs of the public, the musicians write more simple and danceable music. This is how modern bachata began to emerge. One of the first compositions written in the new tradition was "Consejo a las mujeres" performed by Blas Durán, who preferred the electric guitar to the conventional guitar. nine0003

The 80s become a time for bachata to get rid of all clichés and stereotypes. In the late 90s, the style acquired the status of a romantic genre. Between its connoisseurs, social boundaries are beginning to be completely erased: fans of the direction are now among the middle class population. The dance of the poor has turned into a dance of happy people who are able to talk about their feelings and experiences in body language.

Today, bachata is very popular among lovers of Latin American dance culture. This is a very versatile dance, which is impossible not to fall in love with. It is enough to look at the sensual movements of the dancers for a few seconds to feel the sparks of passion between them and remain captive to this style. nine0003

Interesting facts

  • Initially, bachata was a name given to informal parties where people played guitar music. Later, the term began to denote a certain musical style and wore a negative connotation.

  • The guitar is the main instrument that accompanies the bachata dance. But not everyone knows that before the advent of this genre, the guitar was invariably associated with alcohol and a dissolute lifestyle. This left a mark on the style, which was criticized. nine0003

  • Bachata festivals are held all over the world, including Russia.

  • Bachata fans admit that this dance is much more interesting to dance than to watch.

  • Another name for the style is music of bitterness. This is due to the difficult past of the dance, filled with stories about the hard lot of the Dominicans.

  • Clothing for bachata must comply with the only principle - convenience. Short shorts, T-shirts, skirts that do not restrict movement - all this is suitable for performing one of the most sensual dances. nine0003

Best Bachata Songs

"Ella Y Yo" performed by the New York band Aventura and the Puerto Rican artist from Dona Marco With the advent of this boy band, a new round in the development of bachata is associated. The members of the group, who are of Dominican origin, managed to give this direction a new sound. They filled it with modern rhythms of hip-hop and R&B, which became the reason for the popularity of Aventura's work. And what about the song? She was created to perform bachata, with her sensuality and sexuality. The melodic voice of the band's vocalist deserves special attention. It matches the mood of the dance exactly. nine0003
