Luis Segura (born in Mao, Dominican Republic year 1939), is a popular traditional Dominican singer often referred to as 'The Father of Bachata'.
[1] [2] He is considered one of the best interpreters of traditional bachata with hits like "Pena por ti", "Dicen", and "No me celes tanto".
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.
