Bachata is a musical style and dance developed in the mountains of the Dominican Republic. Some common themes in its songs are those of lost love, lost hope and betrayal -- all delivered through sexual innuendos which originally gave bachata a bad reputation that kept it hidden in the lower class barrios of its own nation for decades. It wasn't until the 1990s that bachata became a socially acceptable music on radio stations and in the clubs in the Dominican Republic.

Rodney Rodchata Aquino, a bachata pioneer, was the first man to host a bachata festival in the USA, and co-hosted the 1st Bachata Festival in the Dominican Republic. Reno Bachata Festival and San Francisco Bachata Festival were the festivals that popularized bachata dancing.

"Bachata dance has emerged as this intoxicating dance craze that not only swept the Reno Latin community from its feet, but the entire nation as well. Bachata is now this sexy thing that has dancers addicted, they keep showing up at the festivals," said Aquino, owner of multiple dance festivals.

With increased popularity of bachata festivals in the world, Reno Bachata Festival, by last year alone, totalled an attendance of over 1600. This year is no different, indeed. The festival is hosting one of the biggest name in the bachata music industry; Toby Love, coming directly from New York city.
