Blas Durán – Bachata Pueblo

Blas Durán is credited with bringing the electric guitar into bachata in the late 1980s, and that change made the genre faster, brighter and more danceable. His records pair a cheeky, quick vocal style, full of double meanings, with a guitar that now sounds metallic and cutting rather than soft. Choose it to hear the turning point between the acoustic bachata of the bars and the electric sound of the 1990s.
