    Pros: Aventura has a unique vibe and they all have unique voices

    Cons: None at all

    Keepin it real, Aventura is definitely the best, cuz ain't nobody else got voices like they do, or has the same rhythm. They all look real good and their music just makes anyone want to get up and dance.

    For their third album, Aventura truly mix up styles, from Dominican bachata and meringue to RB, pop, and hiphop. While they want to appeal to the boy band crowd (perhaps a little late for that, though), they certainly don't succumb to cookiecutter syndrome on this disc. The arrangements are stripped down, and often unusual, whether on the tortured “Hermanita" (about domestic violence) or the selfaggrandizing “Deja Vu." There's a definite sophistication to the compositions and production, which is all in the band's hands. And to show they really haven't lost their roots, there are two true meringues, “Pueblo Por Pueblo" and “Me Voy," where they're backed by El Prodigio. There's plenty of interplay between the voices throughout, and even some reasonably convincing rapping on the hidden track, “Don't Waste My Time." This time out, it seems, they've built on the success of the breakthrough single from their previous album, in an attempt to win a wider audience yet without selling out. It'...s a balancing act, but one that, for the most part they carry off. Although it gets a little schmaltzy in places (as on “Papa Dijo") there's still plenty of grit left. And full marks for forging their own path, too. - Chris Nickson, All Music Guide Read more Less

Biography

Aventura

A New Yorkbased, Dominican boy band with their roots deep in bachata? If that sounds unlikely, well, Aventura have managed to cope with it. Formed in 1994 in the Bronx by a group of four boys (Anthony Santos, Lenny Santos, Max Santos, and Henry Santos Jeter) who were determined to break Dominican bachata music out from its traditional base and fuse it with the other sou... Read more
