You're right about the merengue part but bachata has changed for the better. Back then bachata wasn't a big thing and was looked down upon but know its a genre that everyone can enjoy with some artists that actuall sing. So not everything changes over time for the worse

LOL you're completely right, unfortunatley it's the evolucion of the bachata/merengue/latin music in general , as the generations change, so those the music, but, some with more, or less rhythm then others. That's how artist are filtered from the good, and, the bad. Bachateros/Merengueros of the past sang with pride, with a sense of actually singing it at best, while most artist's today sing what is put infront of them.

you're right josieblim. Its when my generation came in and fucked it all up. Now you got mala fe, omega..these cats don't even sing. Old School merengue and bachata was much better than nowadays, better lyrics, rhythms, and melodies. Now if it's not some halfassed reggaeton rap over some horns, it doesn't sell as merengue
