Background edit

At the time, bachata was defined as music from the rural areas of the Dominican Republic with lyrics considered too crude and vulgar to the public's taste. It was characterized by an acoustic guitar accompanied with bongo drums and maracas.[1] After releasing the album Ojalá Que Llueva Café, Juan Luis Guerra began experimenting with the genre by performing bachata alongside Dominican artist Sonia Silvestre on her album Quiero Andar. The result was an early demo of "Como Abeja al Panal" ("Like a Bee to the Hive"). Silvestre said that Guerra was dismayed when he learned that Silvestre's album Quiero Andar was in bachata; he did not become fully committed to the genre until after "Como abeja al panal" was released as a single where it was a hit in the United States.[1] The song was first released for a Barceló TV commercial.[2]

After "Como Abeja al Panal" was released as a single and achieved success, Guerra continued working on bachata music, which served as a key element in Bachata Rosa. Silvestre explained the name of the title by saying that "[Guerra's] bachatas were rosa [rosy] while mine was red".[1] Guerra's bachata focused on the language of the lower-class and used synthesizers for his production whereas Silvestre's bachata relied on a synthesized accordion for her music.[1] Recording took place in the 4-40 studio in New York City, Guerra's personal studio. The album was released by Karen Records.[3]

"La Bilirrubina" ("The Bilirubin") is a merengue song that describes a man in a hospital suffering from a high level of bilirubin from love and jealousy, which can only be cured by kisses, as no shots nor surgery are effective.[8] "Burbujas de Amor" ("Bubbles of Love") is a sexual bachata song about a man's desire to become a fish and "make bubbles of love" in his lover's fishbowl.[9] The lyrics for the song "Bachata Rosa" were inspired by the opening lines of the poem "Book of Questions" by Chilean poet Pablo Neruda.[5] The last track "Acompáñeme Civil" is a merengue song performed by Beny Peregina which deals with social awareness.[10]

Legacy edit

Prior to the release of Bachata Rosa, bachata was generally regarded as lower-class music in the Dominican Republic and did not receive media attention.[96] After Guerra released the album, bachata became socially accepted by the middle- and upper-classes.[1] The genre became mainstream in the Dominican Republic,[97] and the success of the album provided the genre with international exposure.[97] In 2015, Billboard listed Bachata Rosa as one of the Essential Latin Albums of Past 50 Years stating that "Guerra created an uplifting, love-themed experience from start to finish and stretched bachata's limits by playing with merengue, salsa and Afro-Caribbean rhythms".[98] Before Guerra's commercial success the only Caribbean rhythm known in Europe was Reggae. Bachata Rosa along with Ojala que Llueva Cafe (1989) are widely recognized for introducing merengue and bachata music to the mainstream in Europe and South America.[99][100]

After Juan Luís Guerra's Bachata Rosa, many other artists have been recognized as important to the growth of the genre from the 1990s to the turn of the century including Luis Vargas, Antony Santos, Raulín Rodriguez and Elvis Martínez.[101]Bachata Rosa’s success paved the way for many other established bachateros to travel to New York City and other parts of the U.S. to perform for Dominicans and the greater Latino community as well.[102] According to Music&Media, Guerra was the first Latin artist to gain major success in Spain and following the success of the album named the artist the most important Latin artist of the decade.[103] In 1995, BMG Ariola Spain international label manager Antonio Garcia Oñate stated ""Juan Luis Guerra has undoubtedly helped open the market for Latin American music."[104]
