 (51 Customer Reviews)
Though he's a Berklee College of Music graduate whose first recordings owed a considerable debt to Manhattan Transfer, Juan Luis Guerra made his name with a series of merengue-based albums in the 1980s. Guerra's 2004 recording, PARA TI, his first since 1998's NI ES LO MISMO NI ES IGUAL, returns to this winning sound, but with a twist. This collection of ballads, merengue, and pop-based tracks is firmly based on religious themes, from the opening militant merengue of "Soldado" to the simple beauty of the acoustic "Cancion de Sanidad."
Accompanied by simple, mostly acoustic instrumentation, Guerra turns his lyrical acumen (which on previous albums has found him upholding the rights of the poor and disenfranchised) to 11 straightforward and often--as in the case of the pulsating "Los Dinteles"--extremely danceable hymns of praise to God. A Beatles influence may subtly inflect the "Across the Universe"-type riff of "Tan Solo He Venido," but PARA TI remains focused on godly inspiration, and this is powerfully displayed throughout the devotional set.
His whole new album with his unique style, the power of his rhythm & the force of his lyrics "Para Ti"........inspired by an unlimited love. Juan Luis Guerra Para Ti (2004) Songs Para Ti (2004) Music Review Average Rating: (4.4 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Simplemente , Hermoso!

All the songs in this CD are a true witness to Juan Luis' "born again" experience. I am sure that some of his fans can't appreciate his new found feelings of total unselfish love for his saviour. "Dios te ha dado un gran don en forma de musica."

4 Stars and a Half????
What's up with you people!!! Tego has 5, yeah, and he is a super musician and really cares about the music, yeah RIGHT!
Juan Luis Guerra is a musical institution himself, who profits from his business, but because he'll rather die doing it than not....hello! Open your eyes and see what's worth something and who contributes to the world, not only takes, but gives back!!!! Caramba!
