Top Spanish Pop Artist Artists You Need to Know

Bachata music is a genre of Latin music that originated in the Dominican Republic. From a rhythmic standpoint, the music is a variation on the slow-tempo bolero sound, though bachateros, or bachata musicians, fold many different musical styles into bachata songs. Today, bachata has absorbed the influence of different Latin and Western music styles, from pop to techno and hip-hop, each of which has increased its tempo and expanded its sound. Spanish pop artist José Manuel Calderon recorded the first-ever bachata songs, “Borracho de Amor” and “Que será de mi (Condena),” in 1962. The singles, which skewed closely in sound to bolero, opened the floodgates to other Pop artists and helped launch the Dominican music industry.
