Aventura is a Dominican Bachata-R&B music group based in Bronx, New York. Formed in 1994 in the Bronx by a group of four boys (Anthony Santos, Lenny Santos, Max Santos, and Henry Santos Jeter) who were determined to break Dominican bachata music out from its traditional base and fuse it with the other sounds they heard every day, like hip-hop and R&B. The group is especially impressive as their music is self-produced as members took the time to learn all the skills needed themselves. In 1999 Aventura signed to BMG. Even though they worked with an outside producer once with BM, they resisted the attempt to turn them into a cookie-cutter boy band by ensuring the bachata element remained dominant. However, it fell between the cracks of both the burgeoning Latin movement and the pop/R&B chart-toppers. They released We Broke the Rules 3 years later, and their single "Obsesion" became a hit with Latin youth, finding a strong crossover into hip-hop. In 2003, they returned with Love & Hate, which saw them progressing even further with their sound, adding merengue into the mix and upping the R&B/hip-hop quotient without losing touch with their background, singing in Spanish, English, and Spanglish. God's Project was released in 2005, followed by the album K.O.B. Live.
