Hire: Raulín Rodríguez
Raulín Marte Rodríguez (born June 16, 1971) is a bachata artist, one of the first major bachata artists to have international success and popularize this style of music in the Dominican Republic. He has many international hits, including the songs “Nereyda”, “Medicina de Amor”, “Soledad”, and many more. While traditional bachata songs were often risque and suggestive, Raulín Rodríguez‘s idealized romantic lyrics helped the style achieve general social acceptability and receive radio play.
From a young age, Raulín Rodríguez showed a great inclination for music. Around this time, Dominican bachata musician Luis Vargas helped him get a head start with the guitar. Rodríguez tried to study music, but due to his family’s economic situation, he wasn’t able to join a school for it. However, due to his desire to learn, he learned on his own. At age 14, he joined a school choir. Over time, he would eventually learn how to play bachata and play the guitar to perfection. He grew up in the same village as Luis Vargas and Dominican bachata singer, Antony Santos.
