Fans growing for R&B-infused urban bachata
Tagged: Cuba, CubanPosted on: July 30th, 2007“Sony BMG Latin execs were cruising MySpace late last year when they came across the list of most popular unsigned Latin acts. Topping it was Optimo, a trio that plays urban bachata — a style that mixes traditional Dominican bachata a guitar-based variation on romantic Cuban bolero with R&B sensibility and vocalizing.
Sony BMG scooped it up, and in early May, Optimos debut album, “Optimo FDL,” joined the ranks of a swelling urban bachata movement that is generating cross-country sales.”
