📝 Our review

Juan Luis Guerra has spent decades creating merengue and bachata with songwriting quality that far exceeds the genre in which he works. Literal has the irresistible joy of Guerra's best albums: rhythms that move before reason intervenes, lyrics with more layers than they appear. The Dominican's voice remains an extraordinary instrument. A record that does what it promises: literally.
