- DirectorAlex WolfeStarsLuis VargasBlas DuránLuis DíasSanto Domingo Blues is the fascinating tale of how Bachata, a music genre once vilified by the Latin upper class as the bawdy ghetto soundtrack of brothels and vulgar cabarets, came to rival meringue and salsa as the preferred music of the Latin world.
