Juan Luis Guerra on Tour
Juan Luis Guerra has created a synthesis of slinky bachata and posh merengue rhythms, and when he performs it live, he brings a slice of the Dominican Republic's culture to the stage. As one of the DR's biggest musical exports, the suave crooner has captivated legions of fans with his sophisticated folk formula. He's joined forces on stage with some of the best, including Sting, The Rolling Stones, Paul Simon and Maná.
Juan Luis Guerra in Concert
Juan Luis Guerra Seijas was born in the Dominican Republic in 1957, and like love at first sight, Guerra felt an instant affinity for his country's native genres. Back then, bachata and merengue ran in different circles — the former was considered crass and lowbrow, while the latter would be dubbed the national identity of DR by decree. The artist launched his singing career in the late '80s, but it wasn't until 1990 with Bachata Rosa that he catapulted bachata to global prominence. He elevated the genre by adding a tinge of merengue into his musical recipe — Guerra is widely considered the first to do so — and earned a Grammy for it. He kept the sonic elegance going strong, but the racy double entendres, traditionally a characteristic of bachata lyrics, got the song "Burbujas de Amor" banned in several countries. Today, "Burbujas" is recognized by Rolling Stone as one of Latin pop's greatest songs of all time. With over a dozen studio albums that also dabble in rock, salsa and even gospel, the legendary performer proves that his creativity is limitless In 2019, the Billboard Latin Music Awards honored Guerra with the Lifetime Achievement Award for his artistic excellence.

Juan Luis Guerra lived up to my expectations and more at Radio City a few weeks ago. I haved loved his music and been a huge fan for over 15 years, and the chance to see him live was something I never would have passsed up, no matter what. His performance was unforgettable, one of the two best concerts I have ever seen. If you like his music, you must not pass up the opportunity to see him live. He is magnetic, the entire music hall was on their feet from the moment he began playing. I think I lost 10 pounds that night sweating. I cannot say enough good things about this concert. Thank you for the chance to see him!!!
I would recommend and attend again, whenever possible, any venue that this great entertainer would grace, he's absolutely that entertaining and professional. Great visual show, as well as amazing sound. What a show it was!
Although the concert didn't start until about 45 minutes after it was supposed to, we had such a great time. I would definitely go see him again!
Unbelievable, JLG played all the classics and the new ones. He is a national treasure for Dominicans.
