Aventura



I went to the Aventura Concert last night with some of my girls... It was quite the experience to say the least... Romeo is def your typical Dominican/PR man... pelvic thrusts and all. But let me not judge, the man after all lives a hard life (right).

I have never seen so many women dressed up as if it were their last night on earth. Some had sparkly dresses and others had just stepped out of their favorite salon. It was every mans fantasy, or woman's for that matter. I was left in awe at some of the ridiculous outfits and "walks" women had, makes me think of why it is Latinas are the way they are. See to me, there is a thin line between flavor and simply over-cooked... ahy.

The concert itself was wonderful, and the highlight of my night was Marc Anthony singing... my heart almost skipped out of my mouth and went on stage... I must see him live before I pass---pretty please!

I have never felt that type of energy though. I think that is what impacted me the most. The amounts of fans and followers they have. Such immense love, not every artist(s) is blessed with that, and especially off one one genre...Bachata.

I must admit in h.s. I hated bachata, so depressing. But I've gained an appreciation for it over the years... pero, last night was enough bachata for a while. I left a melancholic and listened to "dile al amor..." over and over on the train. Smh.

Music has the power to do so much... magic at its finest... except its so real.

Other Aventura moments:
*For a second I was falling for Dominican men, and then Anthony started talking about why men cheat... that was the end of that.
*Max, one of the guitar players, did a rap song... HUH? exactly my friends... He is great w/ the guitar....yea...
*Romeo kissing this woman who I swear was a man (smh sorry it is the truth)
*Man getting stomped out by a sea of people

And that my friends is what I call entertainment.
