Bachata music from the Dominican Republic is extremely popular today, both in the DR and here in NYC. But former Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo hated bachata music, which was associated with the lower-class, rural communities Trujillo hated. Producer Benjamin de Menil has put together a new album called "Bachata Roja: Acoustic Bachata from the Cabaret Era," now out on Iaso Records.
