Product Description
La Llave De Mi Corazon finds tropical music troubadour Juan Luis Guerra returning to the secular sounds that have made him an enduring, endearing performer. His last disc, 2004's Para Ti, was a cautiously received--if still joyous--collection of spiritual tunes. La Llave De Mi Corazon centers on romance and love, themes that better suit Guerra's blend of salsa, merengue and other assorted tropical rhythms. The cutesy title track is featured in English and in Spanish, though it's doubtful Guerra will engage in any serious crossover work anytime soon. Better is "Something Good," a silky, simmering duet with smoky-voiced Chiara Civello. Guerra's own rich, expressive delivery is always a treat. He's emotive without oversinging, particularly during the lilting "A La Vera" and "Solo Tengo Ojos Para Ti." Standout "Si Tu No Bailas Conmigo" is a simple, gorgeous ode to amor that soars on glittering imagery and a gently shuffling beat. "If you don't dance with me, I prefer not to dance," Guerra confesses to a lover. It's an irresistible invitation. --Joey Guerra

Customer Review(s)
Customer Rating:     Summary: A Composer Who Also Performs! Comment: It isn't often that I am delighted with a CD. Juan Luis Guerra y 440 are amazing together. Perfect is the only way to describe this CD. These songs are not just fillers to take up space. Every one of them is well thought out and crafted. Juan Luis Guerra is a composer who performs - not just a song writer. The melodies and harmonies are wonderful. He and 440 must be obsessed with perfection because it shows in this CD. And it seems that they are having a great time performing.
All the tunes are catchy and even though I only speak a little Spanish, I still get enough to understand that he has a turn of phrase and a sense of humor.
I recommend this CD to anyone, and you don't need to know Spanish. It is upbeat and makes you want to dance, dance, dance, dance!
