1) "Mi Corazoncito" by Aventura. This was the first Bachata song I ever fell in love with. I learned all the words and could sing it. I still can. It helped that I was student teaching at a school that was an ESL hub for South Nashville at the time. To this day I think about poor Guadalupe Cardozo, a trouble making boy with a father and brother still in Cuba, who happened to have a girl's name. Also, the 5 MILLION hits that this video has, is not indicative of the success of this song. It is INCREDIBLY popular, and to this day (the song is 5-ish years old) you will still hear it played at Latin dance clubs, etc.

2) "Tu y Yo" by Prince Royce. My first Bachata love is of course Aventura, Kings of Bachata, but Royce has this song with elements of electronica. And I am a SUCKER for that stuff. Did I mention MGMT is now a fixture in my car's CD changer? K, well, this song is my current fav along with the below.
UPDATE 2/1/11: Previously I had posted a Toby Love video and picture. Come to find out, Toby Love sings an AWFUL and in no way comparable Bachata song also titled "Tu y Yo." I hadn't even checked to see if the video was the song I wanted, but was like, 'video oficial? Tu y Yo? OKAY!' Thus my error. Apparently, there are no videos or even sreaming versions of Prince Royce's "Tu y Yo" with electronica. All the versions I find are acoustic, or sans electonica. Thus I actually have no video for you on this one. SAD! IF YOU KNOW OF A VIDEO OR STREAMING LINK for Prince Royce's "Tu y Yo," electronica included, then post it. And I will mail you ten dollars. :)
UPDATE 2/7/11: Congratulations to ME for finding the correct link to a youtube video playing Royce's electronica version of "Tu y Yo." Click and Listen!

3) "No Es Una Novella" by Monchy y Alexandra. I wait for this song during my workout to Pandora radio, and can identify it by the first second of the song. By the way, if you're wondering what it looks like to dance bachata, there is some low-key bachata dancing in this video.
