History
Romeo Santos sings bachata with a thin, high, nasal tenor that slides into falsetto and stops mid-line for a spoken aside, and that voice is a large part of why the genre sounds the way it does now. He first led a group out of the Bronx that pulled bachata away from its Dominican guitar tradition and toward R&B and hip hop phrasing, keeping the requinto lead and the bongo and guira pulse while writing in the cadence of American radio. The solo records pushed further into that crossover, with guest verses from rappers and pop singers alongside Latin stars. Propuesta Indecente is the best known piece, a slow seduction with a tango-tinged arrangement and a lyric that stops a step short of explicit. Eres Mia works the possessive, and Imitadora returns to plain bachata guitar. The size of the live audience settled the argument about whether the genre could fill the biggest rooms: two consecutive sold-out nights at Yankee Stadium, in his own city.
