Raulin Rodriguez

Raulín Rodríguez (born June 16, 1970) is a Dominican Republic bachata artist, one of the first major bachata artists to have national success and popularize this style of music in the Dominican Republic. Rodríguez was born in San Fernando de Monte Cristi, on the northwest coast of the Dominican Republic. He toured with Antony Santos as a guitar player at age fifteen, and then went on to form his own band with hits including songs like Nereyda, Medicina de Amor, Soledad, and many more. While traditional bachata songs were often risque and suggestive, Raulin Rodríguez's romantic lyrics helped the style achieve general social acceptability and to receive radio play in the country.
