Draft of my article.
Is Bachata music complicated to learn?
Discovering the Bachata genre changed their life as they jumped many hurdles when the couple learnt the steps to producing Bachata music which had a certain rhythm to it but overall this gave them a great outcome after 2 years of studying the Bachata genre.
J___ says" We discovered Bachata when we went to Elephant & Castle for an outing. We never knew this area was a Latino based area, hearing these Bachata songs playing out loud got us into learning more about this genre." The couple spent about 2 years learning the basics of Bachata music and learning the Spanish language. "It didn't take us long to learn these things as we were really interested in Bachata. If you're willing to learn something, the time it takes up wouldn't matter as long as it benefits you." These words from J___ inspired their children to reach their goals.
"If you're willing to learn something, the time it takes up wouldn't matter as long as it benefits you."
Was learning Bachata movements complex as learning how to make the music?
When we were doing our research we discovered that Bachata did not only have a certain rhythm to it but there were dance moves to it as well. These moves includes the couples knees bent, hip motions from left to right and vice versa and a lot of footwork. Popping your hips every four counts is the essential step to it.
"When I started learning the basic Bachata dance moves, I was struggling! When I watched the videos of couples dancing Bachata I was shocked, there was no way I could learn to dance the way they did." These words from J___ was unbelievable as I have seen her moves and she looks like one of the professional Bachata dancers I have seen on competition videos.

Contents page analysis
The genre i chose to do is Bachata/Reggaeton but i found it quite difficult to find a magazine that was about bachata/reggaeton so i chose to do magazine that were quite similar to them. RnB and Hip-Hop is similar to bachata/reggaeton because of the beats to the song.

Record Label Case Study
Sony Music Entertainment is an American music corporation owned and operated by Sony Corporation of America.
In 2004 Sony Music Entertainment merged with Bertelsmann Music Group to create Sony BMG Music Entertainment but later it was renamed back to Sony Music Entertainment when Sony was able to get Bertelsmann's 50% of Sony BMG making them have 100% ownership of the whole company.
SME is the world's second largest record company behind Universal Music Group.
SME has many artist's signed to their label and my artist case study 'Prince Royce' is signed to Sony Music Entertainment.
