Kob Live
Bachata supergroup Aventura has never been shy about its musical prowess. In fact, theK.O.B.in this disc's title stands for "Kings of Bachata," and the cover shot pays homage to a certain fab foursome. A heady rep, to be sure, but Aventura backs it up with solid, sexy tunes and equally compelling showmanship.K.O.B. Livemixes old favorites, new tracks and live footage, giving fans the full package. The live bits were recorded at Madison Square Garden, a nice homecoming for the Bronx, New York-based group. Tunes such as "Los Infieles" and "Llorar" can-and do-induce swoons. Just listen to all the screaming, and prepare to be seduced.--Joey Guerra
