CD Reviews

Dominican bachata music -- old-school style!

"Puerto Plata

"Casita De Campo"

(IASO, 2009)

---------------------------

A swell set of emotive acoustic ballads from Puerto Plata, one of the Dominican Republic's living links to the early style of "bachata" music. Born in 1923, Plata has been playing gorgeous music for decades, and while this is definitely an "old man" record, with Plata's voice and guitar work perhaps a little rougher around the edges than before, it also has the confident assurance and joy for the music that, somehow, only old folks and elderly master musicians can sometimes muster. Some of the picking gets a too energetic (I suspect this is the work of some of the younger musicians backing him up) but nothing overshadows the simplicity and beauty of Plata's performances. Apparently the repertoire for this album is drawn from a number of songs that were banned during the decades-long dictatorship that ruled the Dominican Republic (and forbade many popular musicians from recording or performing in public...) Well, here's a case where art and the human spirit have won out: the music's back, and it sure sounds sweet!

PS- if you like this album, also be sure to check out the stellar collection "Bachata Roja" which gathers vintage performances from the 1960s, when the old style acoustic bachata was in full bloom. It's an amazing album (also on the IASO label...) (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Guide To World Music)"
