One of the biggest recording artists to come out of the Caribbean: JUAN LUIS GUERRA (Santo Domingo) https://youtube/watch?v=dDEVFQnBTp0&list=RDdDEVFQnBTp0#t=60 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Luis_Guerra Juan Luis Guerra Seijas (born June 7, 1957)[citation needed], known professionally as Juan Luis Guerra, is a Dominican singer, songwriter, composer, and producer. He has sold over 30 million records,[1] and has won numerous awards including 15 Latin Grammy Awards, two Grammy Awards, and two Latin Billboard Music Awards. Guerra won 3 Latin Grammy Awards in 2010, including Album of the Year. In 2012, he won the Latin Grammy Award for Producer of the Year.[2] Guerra is one of the most internationally recognized Latin artists of recent decades. His popular style of merengue and Afro-Latin fusion has garnered him considerable success throughout Latin America. He is also credited for popularizing bachata music on a global level and is often associated with the genre, although his distinct style of bachata has a more traditional bolero rhythm and aesthetic mixed with bossa-nova influenced melodies and harmony in some of his songs.[3] He does not limit himself to one style of music; instead, he incorporates diverse rhythms like merengue, bachata-fusion, balada, salsa, rock and roll, and even gospel. Ojalá Que Llueva Café (I Wish It Would Rain Coffee) is one of his most critically acclaimed self-written and composed pieces. A remix of La Llave de Mi Corazón (The Key of My Heart) with Taboo from The Black Eyed Peas is also an example of his fusion of genres.
