God's Project (CD)

Formed in 1994 in the Bronx, Aventura began as the dream of four young Dominicans (from the same family) who aspired to fuse bachata music with urban R&B and hip-hop. Although ostensibly a "boy band," Aventura set themselves apart from typical pre-fab outfits by writing their own material and playing their own instruments. Their debut arrived in 1999, and its follow-up, 2002's WE BROKE THE RULES, found a following with the help of its hit single "Obsession." Subsequent releases, such as LOVE & HATE and GOD'S PROJECT, found Aventura continuing to gain an audience in the hip-hop and R&B markets, without sacrificing the rootsy, Latin-influenced side of their sound.

Since its formation in the Bronx, New York in 1994, Dominican boy band Aventura has been steadily expanding its sound toward a style that incorporates hip-hop, R&B, rock, merengue, and reggaeton, while still retaining strong traces of traditional bachata. GOD'S PROJECT is the culmination of Aventura's stylistic expansion, and is the group's most mature, diverse, and accomplished album.

The sounds of bachata--the quartet's foundation--are still prominent, especially on "Ciego de Amor," which features a cameo by Antony Santos, one of the Dominican Republic's leading bachata artists (not to be confused with Aventura's own Anthony "Romeo" Santos). The group also ventures deep into reggaeton territory on the likes of "Ella y Yo" (which stars reggaeton kingpin Don Omar). Various international flavors work their way into the mix, particularly the samples of Asian music that crop up here and there, and the strains of traditional flamenco on "Un Beso." All of this is wrapped skillfully in a sound and attitude that bursts with contemporary pop savvy.
