All I can say is . . .I loved it from the first time I heard it. This album really allowed for him to gain the recgonition he deserved. He is one of the best bachateros out there. . .and if you thing this album is hot, you should see and hear him perform live. . .Lo Mejor de los Bachateros es Raulin!!! He is what a truly proud Dominicano should be PROUD!

To have a CD with just one hit is very common. To buy a cd with two to three hits is very rare. But to come up with a cd like Medicina De Amor, where there are 7 to 8 hits is just legendary. This cd introduced me to the world of bachata, along with Juan Luis Guerra's early hits, and as well as Luis Vargas. Why bachata is so great? It's music that derives from the heart of the Dominican culture and with the simplicity of just a guitar and a voice that have the power to capture your heart. I hope you enjoy this CD.

Beyond a shadow of a doubt Medicina de amor is Raulin's landmark album. He is my favorite bachata artist among many that I listen to. However, I always seems to pull out of one of his when I want to listen to bachata exclusively. Raulin who writes his own music is one of best representatives of modern bachata and definitely is unique in style. This album has the forever popular "Medicina de amor" but the beauty of this album does not stop there. All the songs are terrific and the lyrics really hit home. Maria Luisa and Que vuelva are also true examples of bachatas that are sung from the heart. With the surge of bachata music and bachateros like Raulin Rodriguez Dominican culture from a music perspective should get the recognition that it deserves. That is where bachata originated with a requinto or a guitar and bachata from anywhere else is a poor imitation. I hope you enjoy this cd and I encourage you try some of his others: Soledad, Corazon Corazon, Sin Fortuna, and Arrancame la vida just to mention some other wonderful albums in his collection.
