Reflections from Andre Veloz 

Who knew that bitterness could be so sweet? In this playful video, Dominican bachatera Andre Veloz and bassist John Chapman introduce the basic elements of bachata, a tradition from the Dominican Republic originally called música de amargue, or “bitter music.” Have a taste with “La Pendeja,” an irresistible song about love and regret, from her 2018 self-titled album, Andre Veloz.
