Aventura Ringtones
Aventura is a Dominican-American bachata and r and b music band, coming from Bronx, New York. It was founded in 1994 by Anthony Santos, Lenny Santos, Max Santos and Henry Santos Jeter. They initially appeared under the stage nickname "Los Teenagers" or "The Teenagers", but later, they decided to change their name to Aventura. Thus, the band developed their own unique performing style of bachata by mixing the sounds of hip hop, r and b and reggaeton. They also used both English and Spanish in their hits. In 1999, Aventura signed with BMG and this occurred to be the real break for their appearance on the global music market. Three years later the four boys gained their first huge recognition with the compilation "We broke the rules" and the great hit "Obsesión". In 2005, Frankie J did a new English cover of this single and received success with it and its later remixes. Aventura has also presented several of their compositions with guest vocalists, including Toby Love and Judy Santos, whose singing is featured in the song "Obsesión". Signed to BMG, they created their first compilation with an outside producer. The bigger part of the songs in it, however, was their own, and the boys resisted the different attempts to turn them into quite sweet boy band in the Backstreet Boys, or N Sync style by ensuring the bachata element to be dominant again. Today it is no surprise that whatever they did, it appeared to work enough effectively, as the single "Obsesion" became a best-known hit with Latin youth, finding a strong crossover into hip hop. However, as the title of this compilation also promised, they did break all the bachata rules, bringing the style very much into the new Millennium without sacrificing its main roots. While catching a growing American audience, Aventura also became popular in Europe, thanks to frequent touring and a different sound. In 2003, they returned on the global music market with "Love and hate", which presented them progressing even further with their complete sound, adding merengue into the mix, and upping the r and b or hip hop quotient without losing touch with their background, singing in Spanish or English.
