Born in the countryside near Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, Joan Soriano fashioned his first guitar from a tin can and fishing line and has never looked back. Soriano plays steel string bachata with romance and grit. The Afro-infused rhythm that permeates his music has made him a favorite among dancers. Soriano was featured on the Rough Guide to Bachata and is the subject of a new documentary film by Adam Taub, The Duke of Bachata. This package includes a CD of Soriano's new album, a DVD of the documentary film The Duke Of Bachata and a 16 page booklet. "Soriano's music is gorgeous. He displays an emotionally powerful voice, versatility with bachata's classic style of guitar playing, and compelling original compositions about love and loss." - Deborah Pacini Hernandez, author "Bachata: a social history"
