Aventura may be the most successful hitmakers you’ve never heard of. The Bronx- based, Dominican-oriented group, led by the charismatic, snake-hipped Anthony ‘Romeo’ Santos, have brought the bachata tradition of their ancestry to the masses, in a blend of smooth R&B and downright dirty basslines blended with the classic love-ballad, Latino pop bachata style. The four-piece band of brothers, fronted by the enigmatic Romeo, recently broke all ticket sales records for selling out the Yankee Stadium in New York two nights in a row- a feat unmanaged by huge international names like U2 and Bon Jovi.
I can attest, along with the hoardes of screaming fans at their almost-as-big show at Madison Square Garden last year, that an Aventura show is certainly a night to remember, with smooth grooves and expertly controlled falsetto vocals from start to finish. The band played all their dancefloor-filling hits, such as the slow-burning opener ‘Por un Segundo’, the scorching ‘Peligro’, and the one that got ALL the ladies in the house hip-shaking and grinding, the recent smash hit ‘Noche de Sexo’. Throughout their impressive three-hour set, Aventura brought the grooves and show-stopping melodies, accompanied by a full band to bring the big beats and Latino flavour to the New York crowd. Aventura and Romeo Santos are on fire right now, and if you haven’t caught the fever yet, a night seeing them in concert is sure to convert you.
