The 10 Best Aventura Songs of All-Time

Bad boys can be irresistible. And perhaps no other Latino boy band has charmed women around the world as much as Aventura, whose members had more on their minds than just romance. Aventura broke out in the early 2000s with songs like “Obsesión” and “Un Beso” before splitting in 2011 after Band member Romeo Santos pursued a solo career.

The group reunited to release several songs over the last few years, including their new single “El Desprecio.” “Aventura was always more than music,” said singer Lenny Santos. “We were a movement.” Pop songs are subject to the “One Head Nod Rule,” which states that any artist has at most one song that can be deemed “good.”

However, while some artists only have one good song in their discography, Aventura has a few that deserve recognition. The lead single from the group’s 2002 self-titled album, “El Malo,” opens with a sweeping flamenco beat before Dominic Dominicci (singer) begins to sing. The trumpets are what make this song memorable.

Their warm, deep sound represents the best of early 2000s Latin pop. “The messages we shared were relatable, which is why people gravitated to our songs.” Here are the ten best Aventura songs of all time.
