My 2 Cents...
I disagree that Aventura's music is not 'true' bachata. Each song tells a story, and their lyrics are all original - which cannot be said about many other bachateros. The majority of those lyrics are taken from canciones de Vallenatos en Colombia and then set to a bachata rhythm. True, the God's Project album may be mixed with other genres of music, but their classic tunes such as Mi Hermanita, Amor de Madre y Todavia me Amas exemplify what I consider to be True Bachata.
And like every other Torontonian on this board, I can't wait until tomorrow night!

Golo100 said:Aventura's music is cool. But understand, this is not true bachata. They play a fusion of alternative rock mixed with true bachata. Just listen to Julian Cope's guitars, or bands like the Church, the Chamaleons, The Killers and Franz Ferdinand and tell me if Aventura doesn't copy that guitar style?
Aventura's lead singer has no voice at all, but it is extremely commercial. Nice band altogether.
