Juan Luis Guerra Career
In 1983, after a performance in front of the Dominican entrepreneur Bienvenido Rodríguez, Juan Luis Guerra was signed to Karen Records. This marked a radical shift in Guerra’s musical style toward merengue. In this period, he recorded two albums, Mudanza y Acarreo in 1985 and Mientras Más Lo Pienso…Tú in 1987. These works gained more recognition, and the band was nominated to attend the Festival of OTI (Organization of Iberoamerican Television) to represent the Dominican Republic.
In 1988, during the recording of the album Ojalá Que Llueva Café, Guerra became the dominant vocalist of 440. This album also began his international recognition; the album’s sales topped the charts in many Latin American countries. In 1990, 440 released their next album, Bachata Rosa, which became a major hit and earned Guerra his first Grammy award. With sales of over five million, the album lets Guerra keep touring Latin America, the USA, and Europe.
It contains memorable love songs such as “Burbujas de amor” (Bubbles of Love), “Bachata Rosa”, “Rosalía”, “Como abeja al panal” (Like a Bee to the Honeycomb), “A pedir su mano” (Asking For Her Hand), “Carta de amor” (Love Letter), and “Estrellitas y duendes” (Little stars and elves).
Guerra attracted controversy in 1992 after he released his next album, Areíto (which is a Taíno word for song and dance). It featured the hit single “El Costo de la Vida” (The Cost of Living), whose video clearly has an anti-capitalist message. Other songs included in this album protest the poor conditions in many Latin American countries, the celebration of the ‘discovery’ of the Americas (“1492”), and the double standards of first-world nations. “El Costo de la Vida” was his first number-one hit in the Hot Latin Tracks.
