"Stand By Me" is sweet and rhythmic and as most catchy popular pieces is getting almost overplayed (I DJ Latin music as a hobby also), but I still play it now and then. Joan Soriano and his band, on the other hand, are as real as they come (have seen him live). I am sure some of his releases will be "over-played" so to speak, but I have to tell you after overplaying them myself - they still move me every time. It is his soul and heart that tells the story. Joan Soriano and his band (includes family members and other incredible musicians) don't just touch your heart and soul - they pull it out of you. I am still searching for adequate words to describe them....as words always fall short of the emotions. :-) I agree that Aventura (have seen them live) and Prince Royce have popularized bachata and both have some very nice songs. “Stand By Me” is sweet and rhythmic and as most catchy popular pieces is getting almost overplayed (I DJ Latin music as a hobby also), but I still play it now and then.

"Aventura" and "Prince Royce". These are young Dominican heartrobs who have added r&b and bilingual lyrics to create a sound that has made bachata extremely commercial and popular. Youtube these guys and you will see. Prince Royce has a version of Ben E King's "Stand By me" that is incredible!

Yo como un preso de la musica de este artista que endulza mi sensible corazon. Mujeres, este artista tiene alma, corazon y vida como dice la cancion inmortalizada por Raphael Martos" Lo escucho regularmente, tras la busqueda de Ramon Cordero vi su actuacion y desde entonces no he dejado de prestarle atencion. Suerte, otro dominicano mas que se destaca... ‎”Siluetas discurren en la interminable melodia, se cuelan entre las notas suscedidas una tras otra de tu guitarra.
