Bachata Breakdown on Spotify
By Carlos Cinta and Joan Soriano
“This is a great Bachata instructional CD that breaks down bachata, instrument by instrument. Bongo, Bass, Lead Guitar, Rhythm Guitar, Guira, they are all broken down so you can hear the role of each instrument in bachata music. Also, includes counts over the top of bachata music to teach dancers how to dance on all counts. I teach bachata dance and I use this CD in many of my classes and workshops. Its a great resource for both students and teachers and the only one of its kind that I know of. Carlos Cinta instructs on this CD to the music of bachatero Joan Soriano. Highly recommended.” – Adam Taub, IASO Records
