Životopis interpreta
Anthony Santos grew up listening to bachata musicians Eladio Romero Santos, Leonardo Paniagua, and Juan Bautista on Dominican radio.
∙ He launched his professional career as a güira player for bachatero Luis Vargas.
∙ Santos was discovered by Rafael Mañón of RM Records, who offered him a contract after hearing his self-released cassette, La Chupadera.
∙ The romantic lyrics of his first hit, 1992’s “Va Pa’lla,” helped redefine the bachata genre, which had been known for vulgar double entendres and socio-political messages.
∙ Santos’ long run of bachata hits have earned him the nickname El Mayimbe de la Bachata.
∙ Santos has been namechecked as a major influence by 21st-century Dominican-American artists Romeo Santos, Prince Royce, and Bachata Heightz.
