Anticipated Fantasy

Fans. We are like peasants that admire and praise the king. Our most treasured fantasy is the day when we will come across the most important person in the world to us , our king. We will bow down to him like no one else has, with tears of joy streaming down our eyes. The atmosphere will be tense, and he’ll be terrified, as we devote every breath we take entirely to him. Our lives will never be the same and we will remember this wonderful day for ever. I wish this could happen to me but it is not possible, for now this is just my most anticipated fantasy. I have to settle down with exploring my “kings” website, because it’s not just one king , but four. Their name is Aventura, it’s latin, meaning adventure in English. They are one of the most famous “bachatateros” ever in Latin America. Bachata is one genre in Latin music, with a very smooth and sensual rhythm to it. Right now, their website (aventuraworldwide.com)is the only thing that can fulfill the emptiness inside of me. Aventura’s site is perfectly designed to meet their fans needs, but mostly mine because I am their most loyal fan. This is an essential convention to a website because if you can’t please your audience why would anyone want to visit it? If a person is not satisfied with what they have witnessed they’ll never want visit that site again, unless they are forced to. Aventuraworldwide.com gives me everything I want to know about my “kings.” It provides me with pictures, music videos , tour dates, songs lyrics, latest news, souvenirs, and even a biography. It doesn’t leave me with any questions because the information is all there. Sometimes, when people visit a website, disappointment fills their thoughts because they get nothing out of it , but I’m left answers and satisfaction. The focal point of the website is Aventura because the whole site focuses only on them. When you find yourself in their territory you will soon realize that they’re the sun that lights up the world. As you get the first glimpse of their “world” you see a huge photo, of them, before anything else. Even though Aventura looks amazing in this picture It’s an obstacle when it comes to simple navigation, another important convention. It should not be there because when this photo pops up you feel puzzled, and then you ask yourself “is this all there is?” without noticing the link that is at the bottom of the page. To see the link you have to scroll down a little until you can clearly acknowledge it, which is annoying. Remember that one of the greatest Bachata groups out there is Aventura. If you are ever have an urge to listen to their music please log on to www.aventuraworldwide.com. Not only is their music amazing, but their website is to, because it doesn’t leave you empty handed, and it always gives you what you want. It also follows website conventions like navigation and visitors needs. If listening to Bachata is boring then you don’t have to worry because the dance steps go something like this: 1,2 and pop.

It was every Wednesday and Sunday evening when we met for dance rehearsal. We were creating a dance routine for Corina’s “Quincenera,” known as a sweet sixteen. since I didn’t have a life I loved . One Sunday evening we all gathered around the couch waiting for the others to arrive. After ten minutes of waiting Corina showed us the video, to the song, she was going to dance with her brothers. There were four guys leaning against a black car, the music started playing, and I heard the most beautiful, sweet and relaxing voice singing “hermanita.” “I want to watch it again” I said, I was completely mesmerized with the lyrics, rhythm of the song, and his voice. I became instantly fascinated with Bachata music. From that moment all I wanted to listen, sing and dance to was Bachata. Aventuraworldwide.com is all about a Bachata band that intrepid a genre in Latin music, which music revolves around Bachata. This genre was discovered in the early 1960’s and it emerged as guitar music in the Dominican Republic. Soon after a dance was associated to it , which was inspired by Cuban typical dances , and that’s where the “1,2 and pop” came into play. Allow me to explain: when dancing to this genre you take two steps to the right and then the girls pop their hip, but boys slightly pick them. After stepping to the right you take two steps to the left, there’s also turns involved, but they’re fairly simple steps.
Before having a breakthrough in the music industry Aventura struggled for eight years to get their talent noticed. In the year 2002 their lives changed dramatically as the hit single “obsession” climbed to the top of the Latin music charts. Aventura was the first band to mesh Bachata and R&B, as well as hip hop together. They were also the firsts to perform Bachata in English, Spanish and “Spanglish.” They managed to make Bachata music have a bigger impact all through out the U.S, South America, and even Europe.
Aventura started their adventure in New York. At first they weren’t completely accepted by the “Latino” community because the music that they intrepid was not popular in the U.S. The younger people were the ones that did recognize their talent and music. They, unlike others, did appreciate and embraced what Aventura had to offer. Teenagers, simply , liked their music and quickly adapted them as the “underground” hit group. Because of the of the younger Latin community they became more recognized in New York until one day they finally got discovered.
If Aventura was never acknowledged, as what they are now, Bachata would not be what it is today. Their website would of never existed, for any of the fans, to explore if they never made it in the music business. It’s because of their incredible talent and creativity that Bachata has been recognized in more countries then we could ever imagined. Now I realize, that Aventura is the reason why I enjoy and treasure Bachata music so much. Keep in mind that if anyone wants to learn the “ 1,2 and pop” step I’m more than willing to teach it , just kidding!
