Product Description
GUERRA JUAN LUIS PARA TI
Amazon.com
Singer/songwriter Juan Luis Guerra applies his tropical big band magic on Christian-themed tunes on this CD but the result is the same--infectious rhythms that induce dance fever. Guerra's strength has always been his seamless blend of the spicy salsa and carnivalesque merengue rhythms and layering the music with elaborate vocal and horn arrangements to produce irresistible melodies. Guerra penned all 12 songs here; thay all deal thematically with God and devotion. Highlights include "Eres," which blends blues sentiment and gospel fever. Crisp piano and powerful horns drive the title track and "Las Avispas," a tune about walking with renewed confidence. Acoustic guitars introduce "Tan Solo he Venido," a mellow song about willing to give it all up for the Lord. As a singer, Guerra in top shape, his vocals conveying the variety of emotions from pain and longing to hope and celebration. As a bandleader Guerra hasn't lost his edge. He is a musical genius who knows how to fuse complex arrangements with tuneful hooks. --Ramiro Burr

Sin embargo, en esta nueva propuesta suya, su genialidad lirica, sus pegajosos coros, su uso impecable de la percusion merenguera, y la calidad sonoro musical que permea cada cancion del album, confirma a Juan Luis como un compositor especial, y un creador historico en la musica latino-caribena. En "Para Ti"...Las letras son religiosas, pero sin caer en lo panfletario, ni lo enteramente sacro, cada cancion refleja su vision espiritual de manera jocosa, alegre, optimista y convincente. "Las avispas" es uno de los mejores merengues que se han hecho en los ultimos anos. Con un ritmo contagiante, con un...Read more 14 of 18 people found the following review helpful:  Maybe the second time out, he'll have faith in himself..., By NCTejana (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Para Ti (Audio CD) We were very excited about this album and put it in the car CD player within seconds after buying it. However, while the songs are of adequate quality and some have nice melodies, I must agree overall with those who say he's holding back on this album. The impression I had was that this man, for all his experience and talent in Latin music, didn't seem sure what to do with himself in writing explicitly Christian material. "Avispas" comes the closest to the familiar JLG style, with a merengue rhythm and lyrics offering a humorous metaphor as assurance that God doesn't ignore those who harm people he loves (sending wasps to sting the tempter). The other songs tend toward the forgettable, as much for bland lyrics as for anything else. While we know JLG for his rhythms, his turn of a phrase and clever extended metaphors are also key to his success. How many people can write a romantic hit about bilirubin, for goodness' sake? Here on "Para Ti" there's the usual repetitive...Read more 8 of 10 people found the following review helpful: Absolutly Great! Grandiosos!, By Garcia Marquez "Oscar" (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Para Ti (Audio CD) Tengo el CD "Para Ti" de Juan Luis. En lo que se refiere a musica y composición: Juan Luis Guerra es un hombre bendecido con tanto talento e inspiración junto con 4:40. Nadie deberia categorizar este CD como religioso porque Juan Luis no esta cantandote doctrinas. Simplemente, él esta cantandole a Dios y nos comparte sus inspiraciones y con el respaldo definitivo de Dios. Para el que sabe de musica y sin ser religioso, comprelo. Apreciará musica bien hecha de la A a la Z.
I have the Juan Luis Guerra's CD " Para Ti." Regarding to music and composition: Juan Luis is a blessed man with musical skills and inspiration along with the group 4:40. Nobody should categorize this CD as a merely religious collection because Juan Luis is not singing religious doctrines. He's humbly singing to God and he's sharing his good inspirations with us. Besides, I can feel he's having the absolute endorsement from God himself. To those who know about what good music...Read more |
