Radio Guarachita
Radio Guarachita was a radio station based in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. History Radio Guarachita was founded in 1964 in the Dominican Republic by bachata producer and impresario Radhames Aracena. After a year of test runs, Radio Guarachita was launched on the 690 AM frequency in 1965. Along with DJs Cuco Valoy on Radio Tropical and Charlie-Charlie on La Voz del Tropico, Aracena and Radio Guarachita were among the first DJs to play bachata on the Dominican airwaves. Since Radio Guarachita was on the AM frequency, it had national reach, and appealed to the rural audience of the Dominican Republic. It had interactive programs where the DJ would read listeners’ mail, and the audience also could phone in and make personal announcements at any time of day.

Radio Stations Established In 1965
Radio is the technology of signaling and communicating using radio waves. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves of frequency between 30 hertz (Hz) and 300 gigahertz (GHz). They are generated by an electronic device called a transmitter connected to an antenna which radiates the waves, and received by another antenna connected to a radio receiver. Radio is very widely used in modern technology, in radio communication, radar, radio navigation, remote control, remote sensing, and other applications. In radio communication, used in radio and television broadcasting, cell phones, two-way radios, wireless networking, and satellite communication, among numerous other uses, radio waves are used to carry information across space from a transmitter to a receiver, by modulating the radio signal (impressing an information signal on the radio wave by varying some aspect of the wave) in the transmitter. In radar, used to locate and track objects like aircraft, ships, spacecraft ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Edilio Paredes
Originally from the small country town of La Galana, near San Francisco de Macoris, Edilio Paredes is one of the most influential figures in the development of the Dominican music tradition of bachata. In a career now spanning over 40 years, Edilio has arranged and recorded lead guitar on well over a thousand tracks, accompanying some of bachata's most well known singers. His style helped influence the emergence of bachata from its predecessor: bolero. Edilio picked up his first guitar at the age of three, and by the time he was eight had formed a group with his brother, Nelson, and childhood friend Ramón Cordero, playing the music of Odilio Gonzalez and Julio Jaramillo, amongst others. At thirteen, he moved to the capital, Santo Domingo, and found work at a music store owned by singer Cuco Valoy, who also owned a record label. Eventually, Edilio started recording for him, and soon became one of the most sought after guitarists to record bolero campesino, later known as bachata ...
