The biggest thing to come out of the Bronx since hip hop is Aventura, the hugely popular quartet of hunky Bronx-raised Dominicans whose blend of romantic, old-school Dominican bachata with R&B and hip hop made them the best-selling group in Latin music this year. We caught up with lead singer and songwriter Anthony “Romeo” Santos, 28, in a Las Vegas stop on the tour that brings Aventura to the AmericanAirlines Arena on Saturday.
Q: You guys were successful for a long time before you got any media attention; how do you feel about that?
A: It did bother me a bit at first, but later on I realized it had nothing to do with the music, it was just a lot of music industry politics. Now I just care about the fans. Awards shows are good, but they’re not what makes an artist. When you get a No. 1 song, and fans are buying the album and singing the lyrics at concerts, when you’re playing three nights at Madison Square Garden . . . I don’t have words to describe how wonderful this feels.
