Bachata is the music from the streets of the Dominican Republic. Looked down upon by the elite Dominicans, the genre has shot to the fore front of the public eye thanks to musicians like Luis Vargas. The documentary follows the birth of the music and the wake left behind by its practitioners. I just wish it dwelt more on the history and origin of the art form rather than following Vargas around. But the contagious rhythm and unique sound keeps your ears glued to the speakers.Rating: * *
