Aventura use to get paid with food after performing a party when they first started but now being the only bachata group to sing at the Whitehouse for the president of the United States. I feel that they have accomplish what they wanted, which was to bring Bachata and the Dominican culture to places where no one imaged bachata and the Dominican culture would ever be. Most people did not support their music at first, but now they have a huge fan base and it shows. When they performed at Madison Square Garden it was sold out in only three hours. They had to add two other days to their “The last tour” and out of the three days at Madison Square Garden two of them are sold out!
I know that when I do feel down emotionally, I know that I can put an Aventura cd or song and it will make me feel so much better. I'm not too sure what it is, but just listen to Anthony’s voice and the lyrics make me feel better. I know it sounds really cheesy, but I just hope that I am not the only one that feels this way.
I have loved Aventura since I was 14 years old, and the cool thing that I share with Aventura is that we have the same last name. 2 year ago, my cousin which worked at El Vacilon de la Mañana, did a web cam show for me and I got to see Aventura via msn messenger and I was going bananas because I got to see things that no one else could see then at the end of the show Max from Aventura was talking about me on the show, but only my cousin and myself were only two people that knew that Max was talking about me because I was the only one that my cousin was chatting on msn with.
I just wish them well in their next projects which I know will come out great. Myself and La Mezcla will support them 100%.
