Bachata Flow is a sub-genre of bachata music, blending traditional bachata with elements from urban music genres such as reggaeton, hip-hop, and R&B.
This fusion creates a modern, rhythmic, and often more upbeat version of bachata, appealing to a broader and younger audience while retaining the core elements of the original style. The term can also refer to a dance style that corresponds with this music, characterized by a more fluid and contemporary interpretation of traditional bachata dance steps.
