El Plátano Maduro Rafael Energía Dominicana 48bit by Rafael Energía Dominicana published on 2022-10-14T21:45:43Z The delicious, and flavourful plantain is in the spotlight with the new bachata “El plátano maduro” (The ripe plantain) by Rafael Energía Dominicana. With subtle double entendre lyrics and soulful bachata rhythms for a great time on the dancefloor. “El plátano maduro” was inspired by Rafael’s childhood and experiences working at his family’s farm in his hometown in Baní, the capital town of the Peravia Province, Dominican Republic. Rafael started working on the farm when he was around 5 years old, helping his father Patricio "Balito" Medina, son of Dionicio Medina and Angelita Peña. Balito was known and appreciated for his great knowledge of different crops such as chili cachucha, cassava, onion, papaya, tomatoes, bananas and the mighty plantain. Rafael’s reflection on these beautiful memories accompanied by his natural Dominican-Caribbean humour inspired the first lyrics of the song: "A mi me gusta el plátano, a ella le gusta el rulo, a mi me gusta verde, y ella quiere maduro". “El plátano maduro” is produced by Rafael and Leandro Mejía in the Dominican Republic and in Montreal, Canada.
