Bachata songs may be the ‘music of bitterness,’ but they’re also the music of romance — well, usually unsuccessful romance. It is a fitting backdrop to those moments when you are feeling hopeless and blue, but the music is often so pretty that it somehow is never depressing.

Hector Acosta left the popular Los Toros Band in 2006 to form his orchestra, a move that gained him an even larger following. The first album of this venture, 2006’s Sigo Siendo Yo, generated the fan favorites “Me Voy” and “Primavera Azul.” “Me Voy” featuring Anthony “Romeo’ Santos from Aventura, also appeared on 2008’s Mitad Mitad.
