Bachata originates from bolero and son (and later, from the mid-1980s, merengue). The original term used to name the genre was amargue ("bitterness", "bitter music"), until the mood-neutral term bachata became popular. The form of dance, bachata, also developed with the music. [2] Bachata arose in the poor and working class areas of the country.
Traditional bachata bands played son, merengue, and waltz in addition to bolero based songs. Over time, the influence of merengue began to be felt more in the style of bolero based bachata. The introduction of the güira, a merengue instrument, and merengue adapted guitar riffs and rhythmic sections marked the evolution of modern bachata. [1]
