Dominican singer, composer, and bandleader Juan Luis Guerra is one of the few true innovators in contemporary Latin music. He created a revolution when he reinvented traditional merengue with smart, poetic lyrics, jazz harmonies, and higher production values. In Bachata Rosa he similarly updated the lowly bachata, the rural, Dominican down-home version of the romantic ballad. Songs such as "Estrellitas y Duendes (Little Stars and Goblins)," "Como Abeja al Panal (Like a Bee to the Beehive)," "Burbujas de Amor (Love Bubbles)," and the title track revisit the old love themes with rare grace and subtle poetic flair. Meanwhile "Rosalia," "Cartas de Amor," and "A Pedir Su Mano" (in which Guerra hints at the connections between Dominican and African music which he pursued in subsequent albums) provide superb dance floor tracks. The result was a commercial and artistic success and with good reason. --Fernando Gonzalez

BACHATA Y ROMANCE May 17, 2008
C. Bellegarrigue (El Salvador)
Este fue, sin lugar a dudas, el album que llevaria a Juan Luis guerra y 4.40 a la fama mundial y a la cuspide de su carrera musical como grupo; se consolida la imagen de juan Luis como cantautor, se enriquecen los temas con poesia (se utilizan frases de Pablo Neruda), y la instrumentalizacion es mas rica en elegancia y romaticismo; baladas preciosas como "Burbujas De Amor", "Estrellitas y Duendes", "Como Abeja Al Panal" y "Bachata Rosa", destacando los ritmos sabrosos como "La Bilirrubina", "A Pedir Su Mano" y "Rosalia"; a mencionar tambien la maravillosa voz de Adalguisa Pantaleon en la balada "Reforestame" (que bello timbre vocal); un album INOLVIDABLE.
Su primer disco, para mi. April 30, 2008
edu (Florida, USA)
Aqui se aprecia la melodia y la poesia de Juan Luis. Este fue el primer disco que escuche de el. En el hay canciones que llegan a lo profundo del ser. Deben ser pocas las canciones mas bellas para estar enamorado que "Bachata Rosa" o "Estrellitas y Duendes". Grande Juan Luis!!!!
Super! June 30, 2007

Never tire of listening to this exciting album--and I've owned it since 1992! Great for dancing or just tapping your feet. Happy music.
Great for people new to salsa/Latin music March 24, 2006

I have just started to learn to dance salsa and other Latin dances. To improve, it is important to learn about the various types of music and the timing when learning new dances. I have asked many people what groups and CDs I should purchase to expand my knowledge of Latin dance music. Invariably, they recommend Juan Luis Guerra and specifically, Bachata Rosa. This CD is accessible to people who are new to Latin music. In addition, there are various tempos and styles of music on this CD, from salsa to bachata. I highly recommend this CD to novice and experienced Salseros, and anyone who is interested in experiencing Latin music.
