[edit] History

The group was formed in 1994 by cousins Romeo and Henry Santos and brothers Max and Lenny Santos. They originally went by the name Los Teenagers (The Teenagers). They later decided to change their name to Aventura. In 2004 Romeo Santos married a Dominican girl named Ari. Romeo and Ari had 2 kids and lived in the Dominican Republic for two years then moved to New York. In 1999, Aventura signed with BMG. Three years later they gained recognition with the album We Broke the Rules and the smash hit "Obsesión", now a staple at Latin dance venues around the world. In 2005, Frankie J did an English cover of the song and saw success with it and the remixes that followed. The cousins Anthony and Henry Santos do not share a relation to the brothers Max and Lenny Santos.

[edit] Musical Style

Aventura created their own unique style of bachata by infusing the sounds of Hip-Hop, R&B and Reggaeton.[1] They also used both English and Spanish in their lyrics.
