La Bachata – Dancing with Ghosts of Love Past
In the cresting waves of Latin pop, Manuel Turizo’s song ‘La Bachata’ stands out as a poignant anthem of heartbreak and self-preservation. The song’s beguiling rhythm belies its raw exploration of post-breakup emotional turmoil. Masquerading as a love letter to the genre, ‘La Bachata’ employs its namesake’s traditional Dominican sounds to navigate the complex aftermath of a love that’s been lost but refuses to leave the forefront of memory.
