Raulin Rodriguez

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Born in the Dominican Republic in 1970, is one of the first major bachata artists to have national success and popularize this style of music in his country. Born in the northwest coast of the island, he toured with Antony Santos as a guitar player at age fifteen, and then went on to own band. He has had several international hits, including the song, Nereyda. While traditional bachata songs were often risque and suggestive, Raulin's idealized romantic lyrics helped the style achieve general social acceptability and to receive radio play.

Raulin is known for crying during some performances and he also appears to be crying on photos used for his album covers.
