Recorded in Los Angeles, CA, and co-produced by rock en espa±ol expert
Gustavo Santaolalla, the second album by Grammy-winning
Juanes, highly anticipated following the release of its first single, "A Dios Le Pido," once again delivers his awarded fusion of urban, rock, and Latin American rhythms. A spiritual folk-rock song opens this 12-track record, followed by the romantic mid-tempo "Es por Ti" and the Latin pop ballads "Un Dfa Normal" and "La Unica." Colombian
Juanes (born
Juan Esteban Aristizabal) goes local with "Luna," a pop-oriented vallenato, the most popular traditional rhythm from his native country. After the orchestrated ballad "Dia Lejano," the album's rock en espa±ol side emerges with "Mala Gente" and "Fotograffa," recorded along with
Nelly Furtado.
Un Dfa Normal ends with the Latin dance-pop of "La Noche." ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide
