I saw a great documentary film on Bachata and several of the great Bachata composers and interpreters that were interviewed talked about the fact that Bachata music was heavily influenced by the great Mexican boleros. If you listen to a lot of well-known bachata songs, many of them are remakes of Mexican boleros. I wish I could remember the name of the documentary film (it was on PBS). Hopefully someone will know the name and they can cite it for the historical/origins portion of this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Revolition (talk • contribs) 00:19, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ouch!
"Bachata was created and primarily used by servants and dominican trash,listening of this music usually means one is of a lower class". I sense that whoever wrote this, to say the least, slightly disapproves of bachata, the Dominican lower classes, or Dominicans in general. I'm not Dominican, and yet I cringe when I see these words... can the editing party elaborate? Demf06:25, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
