There's a nice little write up today in El Listin Diario about Antony Santos' US tour thus far if you are interested in reading the article.

Simplemente no puede ser.

DeQueTuPriva,

I forgot to comment on this part of your post:

As for bachata lyrics being "rubbish", not all bachata is romantic. Some people are turned off by songs by Blas Duran, Tony Santos, Luis Vargas, and even El Mayimbe because of the sexual innuendo or the references to drinking. Also, there was an article in Listin Diario a few months ago about whether or not bachata lyrics incite violence against women or misogyny or something like that.

I read that article when it was published in el Listin D a few months ago and you are correct the lyrics are not all romantic if one focuses on the "innuendoes". The article indicated that lyrics in popular songs by many artists can lead to depression and suicide. My only comment at the time was and still is: I don't think the lyrics can impact the listener to the degree that they would want to commit suicide and if s/he does the person had to be contemplating death already.

I am interested in knowing your thoughts.
