As a boy Joan received little formal education. The seventh of 15 children, Joan left school to help his father farm the family's land. But Joan’s destiny was for something else. Forming a band with his young brothers and sisters, he began to perform at neighborhood events. Nicknamed “Los Candes” (after their father Candelario) the band became a local sensation. At age 13 Joan hitched a ride to Santo Domingo and went on to nurture his talent working with some of the island’s greatest bachata stars.
Bachata is essential to Dominican culture and draws upon a variety of influences from Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean. A practitioner of palo and gaga, Joan blends Afro-Dominican sacred traditions with bachata, imparting his music with down to earth spirit and dance-ability. Joan preserves bachata’s roots and expands on them. He is a rare combination of new and authentic.
Joan is the star of Adam Taub’s documentary, The Duke of Bachata. He also was featured in Alex Wolfe’s documentary, Santo Domingo Blues, and is on The Rough Guide’s Bachata compilation. Joan has performed throughout North America and Europe. In September 2010 he celebrated his first international release.
Joan's new album, El Duque de la Bachata, was recorded live in a Santo Domingo studio by iASO producer, Benjamin de Menil.

ya yo no se lo que hacer
Mi vida se esta acabando,
porque se fue mi mujer
Todo lo veo distínto,
desde que ella se me fue
Todo lo veo distínto,
desde que ella se me fue
Paso las noches pensando,
ay se me fue mi mujer
Ya yo no vivo sin ella,
quiero que vuelva otra vez
Ay, dia y noche sufriendo,
ay, yo quiero a mi mujer
Todo lo veo distínto,
desde que ella se me fue
Todo lo veo distínto,
desde que ella se me fue
Ay dia y noche sufriendo,
ay, yo quiero a mi mujer
A M O R
Amor amor amor es lo que siento por tí
A M O R
Amor amor amor es lo que siento por tí

Amor amor, amor amor, lo que siento por tí
Dios mio quiero que vuelva,
quiero que vuelva otra vez
Dios mio quiero que vuelva,
