The Sydney
Bachata Festival is proud to present the ONLY
Bachata Concert in Australia for 2011, we are
proud to announce, all the way from NEW YORK,
the famous Bachata group XTREME!
About
Xtreme
The story
begins in the Bronx. At the age of 17, Danny D
began showcasing his lyrical and musical talent
as the founding member of XTREME. In 2003, Steve
Styles joined Danny D after countless auditions
and practices. Both raised by immigrant Dominican
parents, Danny D, was born and raised in the Bronx,
while Steve Styles landed in the Bronx after being
born in uptown Manhattan. Always living both urban
and Latin culture, they felt motivated to mesh
the romantic beats that American Latinos were
listening to with the traditional love songs of
their parents’ madre patria.
Fusing their passion for the “tipico”
bachata sounds of the Dominican Republic with
the R&B and urban sounds they grew up listening
to on the streets of New York City, the multi-platinum
duo XTREME thrives between two cultures, exploring
mainstream U.S. pop while staying true to their
Dominican roots.
Their previous album Haciendo Historia, sold over
200,000 copies and catapulted the group to a new
level of success with three hit songs (“Shorty
Shorty,” “Adonde Se Fue,” &
“No Me Digas Que No” featuring Adrienne
of the Cheetah Girls). Building on their first
hit, “Te Extraño,” Historia
found Danny D and Steve Styles diving in to all
stages of production. “No Me Digas Que No”
would go on to receive a 2009 Latin Billboard
nod for Hot Latin Song/Vocal Collaboration and
a 2009 Premio Lo Nuestro nod for Best Group.
In
order to be able to keep bringing you the best
of the Latino world, your feedback and comments
about this event are appreciated and taken on
board. Suggestions for future acts are also welcome.
