Raulín Marte Rodríguez (born June 16, 1971) is a bachata artist,
one of the first major bachata artists to have international success and
popularize this style of music in the Dominican Republic. He has many
international hits, including the songs "Nereyda", "Medicina de Amor",
"Soledad", and many more. While traditional bachata songs were often risque and
suggestive, Raulín Rodríguez's idealized romantic lyrics helped the style
achieve general social acceptability and to receive radio play.
From a young age, Raulín Rodríguez showed a great inclination for music. Around this time,
Dominican bachata musician Luis Vargas helped him get a head start with the
guitar. Rodríguez tried to study music, but due to his families' economic
situation, he wasn't able to join a school for it. However, due to his desire to
learn, he learned on his own. At age 14, he joined a school choir. Overtime, he
would eventually learn how to play bachata and play the guitar to perfection.
He grew up in the same village as
Luis Vargas and Dominican bachata singer,
Antony Santos.
