Talk:Bachata Rosa

Questions after a copy edit
Hey! Nice article, just had a few questions as I was going through it:
 * "Silvestre said that Guerra was not committed to the project after he learned that it would be recorded in bachata." Huh? I thought he was into bachata.


 * "Silvestre explained the name of the title by saying that Guerra's bachatas were "rosa [rosy] while mine was red". Threw me off because you have a singular and a plural verb that (I thought) were referring to the same thing. Would it be correct to say "Guerra's bachata was "rosa [rosy] while mine was red"?


 * "The lyrics for the song "Bachata Rosa" were inspired by the works of Chilean poet Pablo Neruda in the opening lines." Opening lines of a Neruda poem or of the song?

 * Hello, thanks for copy-editing the article! Allow me to answer your question the best I can:


 * From this source: It mentions that Guerra was dismayed when he learned that Silvestre's album Quiero andar was in bachata and was not quite fully committed in bachata music until after "Como abeja al panal" was released as a single.


 * From the same source above, I just quoted exactly how it was written.


 * The first four lines of the song. I forgot to mention that the name of Neruda's poem is "Book of Questions". Source

Hope this clears any misconceptions. Erick (talk) 08:08, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
