Product Description

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.”

5.0 out of 5 stars How does "The Last" measured to the previous albums, June 17, 2009

By	Victor G. Ledesma - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I heard the first song "Por Un Segundo" I automatically knew I wasn't going to download the album . . . I BOUGHT IT!!!. This is one of the best CD's I've heard so far. I love how they put new genres into their music, It is as how Romeo said it at the Premios Lo Nuestro, " . . . We want to explore different fields of music. . .". I love how it starts with romeo giving a great beginning, loved how the songs were set, My favorite song is "TU JUEGUITO" just hearing it makes anyone think of what love really is. I have to do say that few songs were predictable however I love the effects that were inserted in each song. Every song has their own little twist or effect that makes them unique in their own special way. I love the skit, I don't know why but a phone call to Aventura's Manager is something you don't expect at all, it was real original. My only problem with the album is the ending, "Gracias" was a great song but in my view personally it would been better if Romeo would said something real passionate with a low sound of hip&hop bachata or something like that. But the end was funny, and it was still good. In my view Romeo is one of the best singers of our era, because whenever he sings there's a connection that makes us (The Listeners) feel every emotion that he wants to deliver. The way he "twist" his voice is just phenomenal. When I say twist I mean how he goes from high pitch voice, to low, and switches it up again without any flaws. Now Yeah I do understand that probably they edit his voice to a certain volume, However the feeling belongs to his voice. There's just something that makes us keep listening to his every song. Romeo was built for greatness and will go down as "EL HEREDERO DE BACHATA" because there is no greater bachatero than him, and if in the future there is somebody better then I'm Looking forward to hearing his/her voice. Because Romeo's voice is phenomenal, then her/his voice has to be PERFECT.

Great CD, can't wait until Romeo's solo comes out

5.0 out of 5 stars AVENTURA: THE LAST ALBUM, June 9, 2009

By	Felix Lugo (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Aventura continues to gain success in many different markets. Now, with adding Ludacris, Akon and Wyclef Jean in this production "The Last" they prove that thinking outside the box is better and fun. My projections of which songs are going to be hit singles are "Dile Amor" El Malo" "Yo Quisiera Amarla" and of course the mega hits already "Por Un Segundo" & All Up 2 You" Though this production is a mixture of genres of music, I strongly believe the audiences are going to get the feel that Aventura is not about one type of music but an adventure of blended taste and variety. I strongly see Anthony "Romeo" Santos leading a successful career hitting different markets with his unique style and voice. The other band members will continue their success with their projects. Remember that Aventura is not a seperation but a journey...From The "Next Generation" to changing the rules "We Broke the Rules" to getting so much "Love & Hate" and making the world realize Aventura was created for a reason "God's Project" and after many battles saluting who we know today and forever "Kings of Bachata" Also realize this group will always be the First and "THE LAST" we will remember who took Bachata to another level and represented Dominican Republic and united many nations to hear and love the Spanish speaking language and words... I give 5 of 5 stars...When is Hollywood going to give them their Hollywood Star on the Blvd? Let's make that Happen!!!
