Singer Henry Santos is Bringing Bachata to the Metaverse

Henry Santos is taking Bachata digital!

Born in the DR from African roots, Bachata music carries a rich and diverse cultural history with its rhythms. The Dominican singer and songwriter spoke with Cultura Shock‘s Anakaren Lopez about Bachata music’s future and his signature line of NFT’s.

Part of the proceeds from the sale of these NFT’s will benefit ‘The Dream Project‘, a foundation that Santos has been a part of since 2014. The nonprofit provides high-quality educational services to communities in the Dominican Republic. In addition, the Dream Project also has its very own Bachata Academy, the only academy of its kind in the world, that teaches children the culture, instruments, and singing of the traditional Dominican music.

As for Henry’s favorite bachata song? Though it was hard for him to chose, Henry named Anthony Santos’s ‘Si Tu Cariño No Esta‘ as his desert island soundtrack.

“That song is the most Bachata song I think there is. When I started listening to Bachata I felt the lament, I felt the sadness of that person leaving for the first time.” – HS
