CD Me

With this record, Aventura has once again “taken it up a notch.” This record includes performances by Akon, Ludacris, Wyclef Jean, Wisin & Yandel and Arturo Sandoval. “Gracias” features the performances of the virtuoso accordion player Geovanny Polanco – a star in Perico Ripiao – and affirmation of the Dominican roots shared by the members of the band. There are songs with influences of Bollywood, R & B, Reggaeton, Rock and Trio music – all mixed up and fused in Aventura’s innovative style – the sound which has captivated audiences world wide. There are love songs, songs about heartbreak, social commentary – a little of everything – all communicated through Romeo’s magical lyrics. There is also a song written and performed by Henry entitled “Princesita.”

User Reviews about The Last

All i have to say is that this is the best album of all time. Always on play in my ipod, home, car, job, everywhere! Whenever i dj events i must play at least 5 songs out the album in the night and everybody loves it, always a request! i really wish they would not split up! -- Simply the best!

Aventura's "The Last" is definitely a masterpiece, and if it is to be their finale it will be a memorable one. This is the only work of Aventura's that I decided to purchase partly because of the title, partly because of the guest artists all of which are favorites. I was pleasantly surprised that the album was not heavily laden with tracks featuring guest artists; only two songs "All Up 2 U" and "Spanish Fly", the remaining 16 are essentially all Aventura. The tracks are laid out expertly, with the tempos being consistent and flowing without being too repetitive. They move a bit into salsa with "La Curita" and the lyrics on virtually all tracks are written poetically as music should be. "Dile Al Amor" is a great example of this. It was also refreshing to finally hear the reality, that in relationships, women can be equally, if not more vicious as written/performed in "Tu Juegito". I found myself nodding in agreement at the lyrics on multiple tracks. Despite 18 tracks, there is only one interlude, "Skit", which had me erupting in laughter. The conclusion to that skit is found at the end of track 18, "Gracias", which leaves an opening for a following album. It is my hope that this group continues to remain intact, producing powerful pieces of art as "The Last". If anyone were to ask if I recommend this album, my response would be... "Yes, sir!" -- May "The Last" Be The Beginning

This is a very high quality album, well worth your hard earned money. The lead singer has an awesome voice and the guitar in each song really compliment his voice well. This is a great CD, if you're considering buying it, you definitely won't regret it. I've been listening to the thing almost every day for the past 3 months, looking into buying some more of their music right now. -- Must have CD!

Love this cd...my summer car jammer and then some for the streets of Brooklyn and Queens...there is something relevant to every neighborhood on this cd. #s 5, 6,8, 11, AND 15 may have some skips in it pretty soon, can't get enough! I must confess I can't really understand the words...I get the meaning in the feeling of Romeo's voice and this takes my love for bachata even further. I love bachata, bhangara, pretty much anything with a good beat for dancing and my 2 girls ( 4 and 2 yrs old) love dancing to this cd with me...whenever I take the chance to carry the cd inside.

Highly recommend you give it a try! -- LOVE IT - LOVE BACHATA AND LOVE THIS GROUP EVEN MORE NOW

I'm not Latino, and wouldn't call myself a Bachata fan, but have been listening to various styles of Latin music for about 10 years now. I only heard a few of Aventura's songs on MTV Tres, and decided to pick up this CD. I admit I didn't like it all that much at first, and would have given it 3 stars at the time. After a month or so listening to it once or twice a week in my car, it has really grown on me, thus earning the max 5 stars. Aventura takes Bachata to new horizons, truly earning them the self-proclaimed title, "Kings of Bachata". Lenny Santos is an incredible guitarist on every track, and the cameos by Wyclef Jean and Akon w/ Winston Y Yandel add unique flavor. I wasn't an Aventura fan before this CD, but am one now. You can be one too 8). -- Didn't Like It at First, but Love It Now
