Aventura

After a good four minutes of straight cheering, Aventura kick off this sold-out show with an ode to infidelity, "Los Infieles," and the night's theme is set: love in all its permutations. To its credit, the band fares much better in its live shows than it has on studio albums, sounding assured and romantic, bolstered by a solid band who keeps the bachata rolling like ocean waves on a Caribbean shore. The audience, quite understandably, sings along at every opportunity, which seems to only inspire the band to grander heights of puppy-dog romanticism. Highly recommended.
