Bachata, born in the marginalized neighborhoods of the Dominican Republic and now a global dance phenomenon, gets its own celebration in Santo Domingo. The Bachata Festival brings together the genre's top artists, dancers, and fans for a multi-day celebration of this UNESCO-recognized cultural treasure.
The festival features headline concerts by bachata royalty, dance workshops for all levels (from traditional Dominican bachata to modern sensual styles), social dancing events, and cultural exhibits tracing bachata's evolution from "music of bitterness" to international sensation.
