Luis Segura
Luis Segura (born in Mao, Dominican Republic year 1939), is a popular traditional Dominican singer often referred to as 'The Father of Bachata'. He is considered one of the best interpreters of traditional bachata with hits like "Pena por ti", "Dicen", and "No me celes tanto". Segura's first recordings were in the 1960s but it wasn't until his release of "Pena por ti" in the early 1980s that Segura hit stardom. Its immense popularity led to growing acceptance, making it the first Bachata song to be featured on FM radio. This broke the tradition of the genre being confined to AM broadcasts, which was predominantly diverted to rural areas, and elevated the genre's status by reaching urban and mainstream audiences.
