Where it is heard/How popular
Bachata is listened to mostly in the Dominican Republic but it wasn't always legal to enjoy this kind of music since it was considered "vulgar and sensual" and the higher class did not want to ruin the reputation so they did not dance nor listen. If you did dance bachata or listen to bachata it was considered lowly. Since bachata was illegal it was not very popular but that has changed throughout the years since many famous artists have traveled and made this kind of music more heard and more popular but yet it is not as popular as the national dance merengue. Bachata music was seen as a sexualized lyrics because the musicians that wrote this kind of music did not have any musical or academic schooling which lead to the dancing being sexual as well.

Not only has bachata's popularity changed but so has their lyrics, before the lyrics were mostly talking about a cheating relationship and full of hurt but now it talks about love and is more romantic. Bachata is like the United States of America's version of jazz. According to "Bachata: Música Del Pueblo (Bachata: Music of the people)" they say that " In the past decade, bachata has been transformed from a Ballard- style guitar music of the rural poor in the Dominican republic to the hottest new music in the international Latino music mark".
