Product Description
Capitol Latin Presents, Juan Luis Guerra's latest album, "A SON DE GUERRA," which will be released on June 8. An acclaimed singer, songwriter, musician and producer, Juan Luis Guerra is one of the most credible and respected names in the music Industry. A multiple award winning artist, Guerra, has proven that his music not only crosses oceans, but musical boundaries with accolades like: winning 2 Grammy Awards, 9 Latin Grammy Awards, 2 Billboard Awards and 10 Latin Billboard Music Awards. Right when the production was wrapping on "A Son de Guerra," the prodigious musician undertook the titanic labor of organizing the benefit concert "Song of Hope for Haiti" along with some of his famous colleagues to help raise funds for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. The event was a complete success, as well as his historic participation a few days later in the New Orleans Jazz Festival. But if you ask him to account for all of his incredible achievements and honors, Juan Luis Guerra wastes no time reflecting on such things, preferring to concentrate on the now: "Every day is a new beginning," he affirms, "I'm always thinking that the best is yet to come." On this new album, "A SON DE GUERRA," we can expect Juan Luis' unique style as he self-produces the album. Highlights include special guest artists Colombian rocker, Juanes, and American trumpeter and composer, Chris Botti, adding more flavor to the mix that allows Juan Luis' music to easily cross genres and market boundaries worldwide.

 Very disappointed. September 8, 2010
Yocasta
I am very disappointed that pay for this product and never received. They sent me a mail saying that they made the delivery but never arrived.
 Classic JLG September 6, 2010

Excellent CD...... I would expect nothing less! If you are looking for his latest hit "Cuando Me Enamoro", it is on the newest Enrique Iglesias album. Enjoy!
 Nice to hear Juan Luis Guerra still has some of that old magic. September 2, 2010
J. Fermenich (Madison, WI)
After 20 years passed and many albums that didn't quite satisfy like 1990's Bachata Rosa, Juan Luis Guerra has found the magic once again.
Returning to his bachata roots that made JLG & 4.40 stars through the 90's, asondeguerra pleases the ear and gets your behind moving in your seat. While I can't pick out any songs that are destined to become classics like Burbujas De Amor or La Bilirrubina, the infectious rhythms of the album's uptunes and ballads form a cohesive listen with only a couple of exceptions.
The album starts with No Aparecen, a great song showcasing the rhythms that the listener will enjoy for the next 35 minutes. Lush harmonies and the classic call and response that have become a hallmark of Juan Luis Guerra's music fill the song.
La Guagua is infused with a laid back island feel, and Mi Benedicion is a classic JLG sing-a-long encouraging ballad. Bringing us to La Calle, a song infused with modern sounds and movement that is good, but is a bit jarring when combined with the other music on the album.
Thankfully the next song, Bachata En Fukuoka, reminds us that this is still JLG & 4.40 with a heart warming bachata to kick off the rest of the album which passes by quickly as you bop along to the music, highlights being Apaga Y Vamonos and Lola's Mambo. Unfortunately the album finishes with a bit of a misstep in Caribbean Blues, a song sung in english that just kind of falls flat. My suggestion is to just listen to Lola's Mambo one more time and skip Caribbean Blues.
Always great, original, refreshing! August 6, 2010
R. Tejada (Fairfax, VA USA)
This new mix of son, salsa, bossa nova is so great and original as always!
 High expectations led to a little let down July 20, 2010

I bought this for my Dominican husband, a big Juan Luis Guerra fan, for Father's day 2010. I'm a big Chris Botti fan and was excited to hear them partner on this CD. We were both underwhelmed. We're not sophisticated music critics, but we both had the same reaction. We felt it was kind of boring--the same thing he always does with nothing new or interesting to speak of. We only listened to it a few times as a result, and honestly forgot about it until Amazon pinged me to rate it. I'll dig it up and give it another try. Perhaps it just takes some getting used to, or is so subtle and sublime that it requires close, dedicated listening to even begin to understand and appreciate it. Thanks Amazon for reminding me that we even own this CD.
