AVENTURA BACHATA FOR THE NEW MILLENIUM

Aventura is one of the most unique artists on the scene today. After well over a decade of sparring in the music business, these four young, dynamic guys with a seldom-seen chemistry continue to auto-produce soulful, original music that gleams with excellence. Their nouveau sound fuses bachata (a guitar-based Dominican folkloric music sometimes called the “Dominican blues”) with R & B, hip hop and other American pop and urban styles. Lead singer and songwriter Anthony “Romeo” Santos’ original songs are often deep, dealing with social issues. Even when they tackle timeless themes, such as romance and heartbreak, Romeo’s approach always comes from a different angle.

On June 9th, 2009, under the auspices of Premium Latin Music/Sony BMG, The Last, Aventura’s 5th studio album, charted #5 on Billboard 2000 and #1 across the board on Latin Charts, selling more than 47,000 units according to soundscan. The group participated in 10 In Stores across the country – New York, Miami, Canovanas & San Juan, Puerto Rico, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Bronx, NY, Boston and Washington. With 3,000 plus fans in attendance at each in store, the tour was a success of historic proportions – a phenomena.

The members of Aventura are Romeo (lead singer and featured composer), Lenny Santos (musical producer and guitarist), Max “Mikey” Santos (bassist and rap artist) and Henry Santos Jeter (singer and composer).
