You are now listening to Ritmos Negros! Aren’t you tired of the
snow?? Well...ME TOO! (For those who live in cold climates) Let’s
go to the Dominican Republic!!
In this 1st episode of the 2nd Season, we dive deep into the
Dominican Republic's complex history, the Haitian-Dominican
tensions, and how these stories relate to Bachata music & dance.
We’ll answer questions like “How does Africa connect to Bachata?”
and “How did the transformation of Bachata to a global style impact
Dominican identity?”
No guests this time. It’s just you and I!
