BCHTA RISING

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of the earliest memories behind BCHTA Rising is hearing bachata in Dominican homes and New York apartments at the same time. That duality, island roots and diaspora evolution, shaped our mission to preserve and expand the culture. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?

What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Seeing bachata artists from different countries unite on one project and watching the songs travel through dance communities worldwide.
