KING OF BACHATA intertwines the story of bachata with the musical legacy of the genre’s biggest champion and superstar, Dominican singer-songwriter Romeo Santos. The documentary traces the ascent of the disenfranchised genre from the oppressed countryside of the Dominican Republic to its unprecedented international recognition—culminating in a record-breaking concert starring Romeo Santos, alongside the legendary bachateros that paved the way before him.
Mero's journey takes us to the restaurants and bars of the countryside of the Dominican Republic, where the sound originated and retraces its rise to international recognition.
