Summary: True Domincan Rhythm 2008-09-16
Comment: Guerra is fantastic and this is a great CD to buy if you are only going to get one. It has his biggest hits. Chances are if you like the Latin beat, you will want to get more of his music.

Summary: a GREAT compilation of hits from Juan Luis Guerra y 4.40! 2005-10-11
Comment: For those of you unfamiliar with Juan Luis Guerra's music, this is a great opportunity for you to hear this wonderful man! He is considered one of the most beloved singers/songwriters/poets of the Dominican Republic. We are so lucky that he put his poems to song. Not only is he the king of el merengue (a popular dance music from the Dominican Republic). but he also showcases his abilities as a singer and musician in bachata (a slower, more sensual dance music), and ballads. He fuses traditional Afro/Latin rhythms with jazz and pop. Some great examples of this sound include "Frio Frio" (ballad), "Como Abeja Al Panal" (a combination of salsa/bachata/ballad), and "Rosalia" (just a great, energetic song!).
Please listen to this music. He is a legend, and is still very popular today, as a contemporary singer of merengue (with a large Christian flavor to his lyrics). Totally worth it! You will not be disappointed.
