Nueva Era is a bilingual bachata group of Dominican heritage based in the United States that released a series of albums during the early 2000s before regrouping years later. Founded in 1999, the group is comprised of cousins Eunel Torres (born June 30, 1982, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic; raised in New Jersey) and Jahny Jimenez (born on June 24, 1982, in New Jersey), plus Anel Peralta (born on May 24, 1987, in New York, New York). The group made its debut with Bachateando en NY on Universal Music Latino, followed by a string of hits that would successfully propel the group into the first decade of the new millennium. ~ Jason Birchmeier
