Luis Segura- You tube video
I was browsing the internet looking for old and new music and specifically anything new by Luis Segura and I came across this video on You Tube. Once again this man is amazing. He truly represents the essence of bachata as
'bolero antillano'. This specific genre only has a few representatives and Luis Segura IMO is the best exponent of this type of bachata. His repertoire of classics old and new will always represent a fine style of bachata even in the face of social controversy. Today the genre is certainly enjoying an unprecedented social popularity in its country of origin the Dominican Republic.
For those of you who are fans of Segura's music this video is a treat and I had no idea he could dance like that. I had a chance to see him in concert twice last year (Nov/Dec 2008) when he came to Montreal and Toronto and I just did not motivate myself to go. I kind of regret it now.
I am still looking for two of his cds released in 2008. On Amazon they are still not available and not listed on any of the other popular on line shopping sites which means I will have to special order them from a Latin music store.
