To be sure, Juan Luis Guerra remains one of the world's finest singer-songwriters. On "Para Ti" he proves that no words can possibly escape his sixth sense for delivering a a message in a complex, yet enjoyable way. Though I've enjoyed other JLG albums more - perhaps due to their universal focus on them es like love, laughter and the human spirit - I consider this more of a Latin gospel album than anything else. While I don't begrudge the artist's deeply felt need to sing and write about his love of God, the album is so intensely personal and overtly religious, it almost fails to have an impact as a grand collection of merengue and bachata classics. "Las Avispas" - to be sure - is a terrific first single, that will have you moving to a Latin beat, regardless of the fire and brimstone lyrics that suggest God will send wasps to sting the sinners. Yet, so much of the album is steeped in religious righteousness, it ultimately fails to bring the songs to life in Guerra's usual, inimitable way. To be sure, Guerra has lost none of his poetic majesty, and for that alone, he merits 4 stars. But, I find myself longing for the Guerra who used to find God in life's simplest pleasures - the birth of a child, the thrill of finding true love, the challenges of life documented in "No Es Lo Mismo" (his previous 5-star opus). There's no "El Niagra en Bicicleta" or "Ojala Que Llueva Cafe" or "Burbujas de Amor" here, but rather repeated homages to Jesus Christ. Like Mel Gibson, Juan Luis has created his own "Passion". For the most part, the ingenious lyrics and melodies overcome the hit-you-over-the-head prayers he offers to his God. The man's god religion, and that's all right with me. But, for anyone looking for fun, "Para Ti" disappoints.Free Music Review: He still has the beat

Well, I am not a Spanish-speaker but have fallen in love with Juan Luis Guerra due to my Dominican boyfriend who introduced me to him with Fogarte, and the rest is history. I now have 5 of his CDs and every time I listen to his music I start to dance. I was a bit dissapointed when I found out that he "turned religious" and wasn't writing anymore, so it was very exciting to get this newest CD. Again, my Spanish is rather basic so I don't understand all of the words in the songs, but for me the rythm is still there. Maybe this is something he needed to get out and will some day get back to his old style...we'll wait and see!
