Santo Domingo.- Dominican music star Juan Luis Guerra celebrates his 55th birthday today. His global career was launched four decades ago with hits like Ojalá que llueva café in the late 1980s up to his 2010 production A son de Guerra.

He has won a large number of awards, including 12 Latin Grammys, two Grammys and two Latin Billboard music awards. His music spans a range of genres, from merengue and bachata to son and gospel, with strong rock'n'roll influences. Juan Luis Guerra will be performing live in Santo Domingo later this month.

How about letting us know when he finally starts paying his bills the hypocritical, lying, Limousine Liberal.

ymarmolejos,


Your infantile, personal insults will not change my mind. I speak the truth. If you don't like it you can do either of two things.

1. You can prove me wrong

or

2. You can STFU.

The choice is up to you.

hernandez5482,
I don't know his music and have not formed an opinion. However from what I have read, he performs a modified form of Bachata, not "pure" Dominican form, as well as other non-Dominican music.

As far as not paying his bills, the onus is on AnthonyC to provide evidence, not on ymarmolejos to prove otherwise.
