Bachata
Bachata may refer to:
Bachata (dance)
Bachata is a style of social dance from the Dominican Republic which is now danced all over the world. It is associated with bachata music.
Description
In partnering, the lead can decide whether to perform in open, semi-closed or closed position. Dance moves or step variety strongly depend on the music (such as the rhythms played by the different instruments), setting, mood, and interpretation. Unlike salsa, bachata dance does not usually include many turn patterns.
In the West, various dancers are known to copy moves and turn patterns from various couple dances, performing these combinations in the timing used in bachata dancing, thus creating a fusion dance.
The authentic dance from the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean is a basic dance sequence in a full 8-count moving within a square. Dancers in the Western world much later made up a basic step going from side to side, and also copied dance elements from other couple dances of various origins, Latin and non Latin alike. The basic dance sequence consists of three steps and then a tap step or various forms of step syncopation (such as the "double step"). Some dancers in the west accompany the tap with an exaggerated "pop” of the hips. Bachata can be danced on the 1st beat of the musical phrase, with the tap on the 4th beat, but dancing on the 2nd, 3rd or 4th beat is also common. The tap is done on the opposite foot of the last step, while the next step is taken on the same foot as the tap. The dance direction changes after the tap or fourth step.
Bachata (music)
Bachata is a genre of Latin American music that originated in the countryside of the Dominican Republic in the first half of the 20th century with European, Indigenous and African musical elements. The first recorded compositions are by Jose Manuel Calderon from the Dominican Republic. The predecessors of Bachata are Bolero and Son (and later, from the mid 1980's, Merengue). The original term used to name the genre was amargue ("bitterness", "bitter music", or "blues music"), until the rather ambiguous (and mood-neutral) term bachata became popular. The form of dance, bachata, also developed with the music.
Overview
The earliest bachata originated in the countryside of the Dominican Republic in the first half of the 20th century. Jose Manuel Calderon recorded the first Bachata song, "Borracho de amor" in the Dominican Republic in 1962. The genre mixed the pan-Latin American style called bolero with more African elements coming from Son, and the troubadour singing tradition common in Latin America. During much of its history, Bachata music was disregarded by the Dominican elite and associated with rural underdevelopment and crime. As recently as the 1980s, bachata was considered too vulgar, crude and musically rustic to enter mainstream music. In the 1990s, however, bachata's instrumentation changed from acoustic guitar to electric steel string. The new electric bachata would soon become an international phenomenon, and today bachata is as popular as other Latino music and dance like salsa and merengue in many Latin American dance halls. Bachata was played by campesinos, or peasants, who would play it whenever the village gathered for a party.

Kualkier Dia
by: BoikotTe levantas de cama son las dos de la tarde
No tienes trabajo ni nada que hacer
Saludas al dia quizas igual con resaca
Y en el bar de la esquina tres cortaos con coñac
Vas por la calle un dia cualquiera
La chupa sobre el hombre mas jodido que el copon
Vas por la calle un dia cualquiera
Moskeado con todos cagandote en dios.
No se donde vivo, no se que hora es,
No se si es mañana o todovia ayer
No se donde vivo solo se que estoy
Hasta los mismo huevos mecago en dios...
En tu bolsillo hay que joder
Te queda lo justo para comer
Pasado el rato decides gastar
Lo poco que tienes para privar
Compras un porros bebes clarete
Te bonos borracho te ries de la gente
Vas por la calle un dia kualkiera
