Free Music Review: Alfa y Omega, lo es Nuestro Dios
Hit: 5 Stars
Juan Luis Guerra's latest CD is an enormous blessing, especially in today's world in which human beings have enormously, selfishly, and egotistically lost their way. I have always loved Juan Luis Guerra's music, and his unique and humorous way of bringing much needed light to what should concern all of humanity -- what is of utmost importance in life. Yes, his lyrical romanticism makes a woman wish that all men had his emotional talent for intimacy. Sigh! :-) An added benefit has always been that his music makes your both your heart and brain smile!
I bought this CD without realizing it was entirely full of his love for God. Christian music sung in one of the world's most exquisite languages, Spanish, has been very hard to find. "Para Ti" is a mellifluous, exciting, ongoing series of exultations in praise of God and Jesus Christ. I have heard that Juan Luis Guerra was going blind, yet God healed him, so releasing this CD may be his way of giving thanks to God for that healing. I do not think it strange that he has released this CD in gratitude and adoration. God calls us to turn our trials and tribulations in life into absolute joy, and to help others with what we have learned. The Master Sculptor slashes and cuts into marble, yet the emerging sculpture is nearly perfect. God is always calling us to move forward in our spiritual growth, and we get there through traversing and overcoming pain and sorrow, and from learning how to forgive knowing that "Vengeance is mine says the Lord". The simple way in which Juan Luis Guerra and his band 440 offers us their insights into the Christian life -- "Las Avispas" is but one example -- is full of musical majesty, humor, tenderness, grace, compassion, humility, and love. Wait until you hear the song "Extiende Tu Mano" -- so hauntingly gorgeous and mellismatic. Every human being on earth needs to sing along, for we are all sinners and must ask God's forgiveness for our sins: "Hoy te entrego mi corazón, borra mis faltas, Dios Salvador..."
If Juan Luis Guerra had not translated his deepest feelings and convictions into the words on this CD, I would easily call him a coward. But we have too many cowards on this wide earth, who refuse to openly adore our Creator. What we need are more Juan Luis Guerras, for what he is singing is what we all need to hear. Blessings to him, his family, his fellow musicians and singers, and his fellow Dominicans. P.S. I will bet that this new CD "Para Ti" will outsell all his previous releases. Just wait and see. No one should be without it.
Free Music Review: Un album lleno de vitalismo personal.
Hit: 5 Stars
Para los admiradores no religiosos de la musica de Juan Luis, acostumbrados a saborear cancion por cancion la BELLEZA de sus letras, su sensualidad, sus imagenes poetico literarias tan originales y emotivas, al oir su intencion de escribir un album de contenido sacro-religioso nos hizo vacilar, dudar y rascarnos la cabeza y decirnos: 'Ya la Rego, Juan Luis".
Sin embargo, en esta nueva propuesta suya, su genialidad lirica, sus pegajosos coros, su uso impecable de la percusion merenguera, y la calidad sonoro musical que permea cada cancion del album, confirma a Juan Luis como un compositor especial, y un creador historico en la musica latino-caribena.
En "Para Ti"...Las letras son religiosas, pero sin caer en lo panfletario, ni lo enteramente sacro, cada cancion refleja su vision espiritual de manera jocosa, alegre, optimista y convincente.
"Las avispas" es uno de los mejores merengues que se han hecho en los ultimos anos. Con un ritmo contagiante, con un zigzagueo y rejuego vocal de primera, con un mambo arrebatador, y siempre las armonias sofisticadas y los arreglos de primera que evitan la caida en lo cursi y trivial.
Aleluya habra de convertirse en un clasico interdenominacional de la musica gospel latinoamericana, el arreglo coral y la evolucion de la cancion es mas bien una cantata sublime de adoracion magico-mistica. Por otro lado sus baladas son el vehiculo adecuado para presentar una vision mas clara de su pensamiento religioso, pero la calidad musical nunca decae.
Ninguna cancion es un desperdicio o un relleno, lo cual hace notorio el perfeccionismo de Juan Luis y el cudiado que pone en todo cuanto presenta al publico.
Este es un album que sorprendera a muchos y que probablemente sera unos de sus mas populares. Enhorabuena, Juan Luis!
Free Music Review: What a great surprise!
Hit: 5 Stars
I have always love the music and talent of JLG but this one makes it to the top of my list! What a gift this man has, what a great surprise as I listened to this new praise CD! Since then, I have shared it with many friends and family, given it as a birthday gift or just because.. and everyone has loved it! we've worn it out on our car radios and at home playing it all over the house as we go about the business of living! Personally, I've been learning the words so I can sign along in my car, as I make my 2 hr. commute to work and then I enter my work happy and with a great attitude as I have spent time in worship,this sets my mind on a positive note and I can go about the business of doing my work. I will definitely continue to share this great CD with everyone I come in contact with, so far,there hasn't been anything negative said, just praise and interest in hearing more. I know this was a labor of love for Juan personally so on behalf of many fellow believers...thank you, thank you, thank you! you were used by Christ to bless us and we hope that there will be more on the way. Welcome to the family of God!Free Music Review: "The Master of Dominican Music Returns"
Hit: 5 Stars
After a long abscence of more than 6 years, Domincan singer/songwriter Juan Luis Guerra, returns with what is his first record of christian music. "Para Ti" is the artists most personal record yet, and masterpiece of religious music. Juan Luis Guerra has composed an album that will lift the souls and enlighten the spirits of listeners, while not losing focus of his Merengue/Pop dance floor sounds. Guerra also makes an attempt at gospel and slow balads, with an amazing amount of success, which could easily be heard at a local baptist churches. Yet again, the record never becomes boring, due to some excellent Merengue songs, and a new Salsa song which should have listeners dancing and begging for more.
The only downfall to the record, is that it is missing some of Juan Luis Guerra's trademark Bachata songs, for which he is known to be the king of the genre. While some secular music lovers may disapprove, "Para Ti" delivers something new and innovative for Guerra's longtime fans, and at the same time capturing the hearts and souls of religiois music lovers.

Tengo el CD "Para Ti" de Juan Luis. En lo que se refiere a musica y composición: Juan Luis Guerra es un hombre bendecido con tanto talento e inspiración junto con 4:40. Nadie deberia categorizar este CD como religioso porque Juan Luis no esta cantandote doctrinas. Simplemente, él esta cantandole a Dios y nos comparte sus inspiraciones y con el respaldo definitivo de Dios. Para el que sabe de musica y sin ser religioso, comprelo. Apreciará musica bien hecha de la A a la Z.
I have the Juan Luis Guerra's CD " Para Ti." Regarding to music and composition: Juan Luis is a blessed man with musical skills and inspiration along with the group 4:40. Nobody should categorize this CD as a merely religious collection because Juan Luis is not singing religious doctrines. He's humbly singing to God and he's sharing his good inspirations with us. Besides, I can feel he's having the absolute endorsement from God himself. To those who know about what good music is: Buy it. You'll listen good music from A to Z.
