'I Want to Dance with You' by Fernando Allende in bachata
Mexican actor and singer Fernando Allende was captivated by the genre of bitterness, bachata , and premiered the song “ I Want to Dance with You ” in the Dominican Republic.
Known for his career as an actor , which encompasses film , television , theater, production and direction, as well as music through ballads and rancheras, Fernando decided to venture into tropical music .
“ I Want to Dance with You ” features musical arrangements by renowned Dominican maestro Juan Valdez and was recorded at the Polo Parra Studios in this city.
The song was written with his son Adán Allende , who also sang on backing vocals .
The music video was filmed in iconic locations in Santo Domingo in collaboration with ADN Bachata .
Interest in Dominican music
The reason he decided to record bachata is because he owns the Allende Music label , which allows him the freedom to choose. "I wanted to come and sing to the Dominican Republic in its musical language, and this is one of them. Merengue can't stay," the "La Llamarada" singer emphasized.
“For me, bachata has a formula, a gentle sensuality , non-protesting, non-invasive, that allows the couple to get closer, to feel each other, and that's why I wanted to sing it.”
In a press conference, Allende spoke about the creative process behind “ I Want to Dance with You ,” which he allowed himself to be taught about.
"As an artist, I've been guided by the maestro Juan Valdez , whose career speaks for itself. I feel very honored to be singing this song in this style," he commented.

Allende, a Mexican entertainment icon known for honoring his country's cultural identity through his interpretations of ranchera classics, confessed to being passionate about the identity of the people he takes his art to around the world, including America, Asia, and Europe. He said he always connects with the culture, music, and cuisine of each country.
That's why he values Quisqueya's appeal to the world: "I've been amazed by the overwhelming power of Dominican musical identity . Bachata has transcended language and distance to become a universal feeling . I must admit that it has seduced me."
What are the characteristics of bachata that make it possible to perform it? This is how he responded to Diario Libre: “I think you have to feel what you're saying, but you have to feel it with the rhythm . That's where I think the difference lies between being a singer and a performer.”
“ I want to dance with you ,” Fernando Allende says, “he imbues that emotion into the couple who dances with him .”
At the meeting, singer and actor Adán Allende , co-author of the song that is being released, expressed his gratitude to his father for his support in his artistic career, which began at a very young age.
"My father has been my mentor. He's guided me, helped me, and been honest with me, not only as a father but also as an artist ," he said.
He stated that, although he studied psychology, being an artist is a dream his parents have helped him achieve , and he declared himself a faithful admirer of the Dominican people, music, and mangú.
