Biography

In his native Dominican Republic, merengue superstar Juan Luis Guerra is considered a poet and musician of the people. He and his band 440 are much loved throughout the Latino world, and become partially responsible for revitalizing the tropical music that had been languishing during the late '80s from overplay and lack of innovation. Their debut made little impact, but for their next effort, Guerra and 440 began adding merengue and lightning-quick riffs of "perico ripiao," and suddenly found success with a young crowd tired of hearing the same old thing. The new music, called "bachata-merengue," soon won considerable acclaim in the Dominican Republic. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

    Yo no encuentro en la tierra otra mujer

    Lyrics
    Como yo te quiero, como yo te anhelo
    si no estás aquí, yo no soy feliz, ay no, no
    Lluvia, como lagrimas de pino verde
    si no estás a mi lado
    Besos, los besos que me dió tu boca

    Lyrics
    Dile a la mañana que se acerca mi sueño
    que lo que se espera con paciencia se logra
    nueve horas a París viajé sin saberlo
    y crucé por Rusia con escala en tu boca
    Yo canté tu bachata aquí en Fukuoka
