On A Positive Note: New Jersey Band Uses 'Bachata' to End Bullying

Coming over to New Jersey with me now where arts is continuing to do more than just look nice or sound nice. It's changing lives. Here's the story of one group of teenagers on a mission to continue spreading the popular music of Bachata. The teens of Dominican descent say they want to use their vocals and instruments to create awareness around bullying and how it affects thousands of kids their own age. The contagious rhythm of Bachata, a genre that originated in the Dominican Republic and has crossed borders in generations has now found a new voice in the Garden State. Hey, what's going on? What's going on? This is the, which stands for the next four. We just wanna be the next generation. The group members are Gian Carlos Rosario and Junior Jose Rosario, who are brothers and Giovanni Castillo and Kevin Nunez. Hey, Kevin, hey, you, Kevin was out of town on a personal trip when we met in the studio, but he did check in with the guys. Virtually, the vision came from music executive veteran Marvin Flores. The group of teens is now working alongside legendary music producer Ivan Luis Cheri, also known as Matrix who's created hit records with Latino superstars such as Romeo Santos, Marc Anthony and Barboni. Just to name a few in music. You can express yourself, you can express your feelings what you really see, like how you really see the world and it is with their music that they want to deliver a message. Most recently, they launched the anti bullying tour, performing at schools and youth community organizations across the state and beyond the anti bullying tour. It's uh it's a help out kids to keep going and to keep going. Uh uh alone to never doubt ourselves. And you guys experience bulling yourselves. Yes. Yes. When we came to this country, it was the, the hardest moment for us because we, we really experienced bullying because we, we didn't know the language. But as they say, music has no language, it is universal and for them the best way to elevate their culture. What does the Hispanic culture mean to you? Uh strength family. Uh We are all one, the music style of it. Like I love, well, that band says they have many dreams including performing at the Metlife Stadium just like their idol. Romeo Santos has done.
