5.0 out of 5 stars the best bachata album I have heard....., December 31, 2004

This review is from: We Broke the Rules (Audio CD)

I was first drawn to this album because of Aventura's stirring, sexy and beautiful "Obsesion" (the first single on the CD). These four Dominicanos, based out of New York City, have gorgeous voices, mix the sounds of R&B and traditional Dominican bachata.

For those of you who don't know about bachata, I suggest you definitely give it a listen. For me, it is best described as the 1,2,3 rhythm of cumbia (a type of dance music that comes from Colombia and Mexico) with a "bounce." This is definitely a type of music to be danced with someone you love. So romantic!

Anyway, back to the album.....All of these songs are fabulous! You hear the wonderful traditional instruments of Domincan Republic, like the guiro (a percussion instrument) and the sweet rhythms of four men totally in touch with the beauty of their culture's music. You can hear that on "Yo Creo" (track #2), "Todavia Me Amas," "Perdi El Control," and the other songs. Also, they do a Spanish remake of "Gone" by Justin Timberlake. Their version is far better......The Spanish version makes it sound so much better!

Buy this album!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST, October 7, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: We Broke the Rules (Audio CD)

This has got to be the best bachata album I have purchased in years. This group is going to make it, I cannot imagine that they won't. Their style is unique, I have this CD playing non stop in my car, the lyrics are from the heart, the voices are angelic. I even have my husband who you cannot pay to listen to latin music, especially bachata! asking me to play this CD while we are home. I am so proud of them and I hope that everyone takes the opportunity to listen and appreciate bachata, for what it is, our "down home" music. So grab yourself a glass of wine, play the CD and go down memory lane, when love gave you all those warm and fuzzy feelings that made you smile.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maravilloso!!!!!, September 18, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: We Broke the Rules (Audio CD)

Aventura is going to make bachata popular with this album! The combination of bachata with R&B and pop in these catchy tunes is interesting, fascinating and...well...wonderful! Maravilloso! Also the use of "Spanglish" spices things up.
"We broke the rules" is playing nonstop on my cd-player - it just gets better and better. I play this album to all of my friends to make them share my love for bachata. So far it's working...
