Bachata originates from the Dominican Republic. It mixes boleros with traditional latin/carribean rhythms and is a guitar based music. During much of its history Bachata music was denigrated by Dominican society and associated with rural backwardness and delinquency. In the 1990s, bachata's instrumentation changed from acoustic Spanish guitar to electric steel string. The new electric bachata soon became an international phenomenon, and today bachata is as popular as salsa and merengue in most Latin American dance halls.
