Aventura 14 x 14,

14 x 14 is a must for any Aventura fan - and - for non-fans - well, they will be convinced to enter "Aventura fan-dom". Starting with the presentation of the record - artwork, choice of photos (many previously unreleased), lyrics, elegant menus on the DVD - this is definitely a class act. It contains all of the songs that were promoted over the group's explosive career with corresponding videos. I particularly enjoyed their very first video - "Cuando volveras." Though obviously a low budget enterprise, creativity and great acting on this "mini-film" were not spared. The guys are so young - just little babies! As you go from video to video you are able to view the progress of the group and are once again reminded that they are definitely the "Kings!"

I have to say, Aventura is nasty. I mean it; no pun intended. They got me into bachata, and though I'm still fairly new to a lot of Spanish/Latin music (I'm still learning the language lol), Aventura is my personal favorite. What a great band. Great melodies, great rhythms and instrumentation, and I love how they incorporate a lot of other elements into their music aside from the traditional bachata stuff. No offense to the pioneers and previous kings of the genre. They keep it bachata without letting it get too repetitive or boring. Romeo Santos (as far as I can understand or have translated) is a great singer-songwriter, and he has a unique, unmistakable voice. I think they just got better and better with time. The Last was a great album.
Anyway, what can I say about this compilation? Well, it contains all of their hits, but don't get it twisted; this is not a "best of" collection. No one CD could contain the best of Aventura. There's too much material. This is great for...Read more
