Juan Luis Guerra, born June 7, 1957 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, is a prominent singer, composer and music producer. His influence on Latin and Caribbean music has made him an iconic and respected figure on the international music scene.

Guerra began his musical career at an early age, studying music at the Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo and later at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. His diverse musical background allowed him to fuse a variety of genres, including merengue, bachata, salsa, jazz and Dominican folk music, resulting in a unique and fresh sound.

In 1984, he founded the band Juan Luis Guerra y 440, which bears his name in reference to the tuning frequency of the musical instrument known as the "bajo". His debut album, "Soplando", marked the beginning of a successful career that would include numerous hits over the decades.

One of the highlights of Guerra's career was the release of his album "Bachata Rosa" in 1990. This album, which includes hits such as "Burbujas de Amor" and "Estrellitas y Duendes", consolidated his position as a leader in the bachata genre and earned him numerous awards, including several Grammy Awards.
