Blas Durán – Bachata Pueblo

Blas Durán fundamentally transformed Dominican guitar music in the late 1980s by introducing the solid-body electric guitar and synthesised basslines. On Bachata Pueblo, guitarist Jesús Martínez shreds intricate electric riffs soaked in chorus and delay, while Durán's rapid-fire vocals and cheeky double-entendres propelled the music from rural cantinas directly onto urban dancefloors.
