Search - Monchy & Alexandra :: Hoja En Blanco

The culmination of all that is Bachata

"Bachata was Dominican country music, often had burlesque lyrics, and was considered low class. Juan Luis Guerra is credited with making Bachata into something special, giving it poetry and majesty. Well Monchy and Alexandra have taken Bachata to new heights. I think the title song Hoja en Blanco is probably the best Bachata song ever recorded. Heart wrenching lyrics, dueling vocals culminating in a wonderful harmonization, and fabulous melody make this song a standout. The other highlight of the CD is a remake of Mana's En el Muelle de San Blas. Note that the last track Volvere is not the same song the DLG (Dark Latin Groove) recorded as a remake of Wilfrido Vargas' Volvere. It's a completely different song.



Granted, you'll probably be sick of Bachata after a full CD of it, but all of these songs are great and do wonders as part of any party or listening mix."
