Legacy
Prior to the release of Bachata Rosa, bachata was generally regarded as lower-class music in the Dominican Republican and did not receive media attention. After Guerra released the album, bachata became socially accepted by the middle- and upper-classes. The genre became mainstream in the Dominican Republic, and the success of the album provided the genre with international exposure.
