Aventura’s latest addictive single, “Por Un Segundo” has finally peaked Billboard’s “Hot Latin Songs” charts for the number one spot.

The heartbreaking track has reached the number one spot after being on the charts for 12 weeks and the group assures that this won’t be “The Last” of their top-charting success.

Aventura is one of the most unique and innovative artists on the scene today. After more than ten years of sparring in the music business, these four young, dynamic guys with a seldom-seen chemistry continue to auto-produce soulful, original music that gleams with excellence. They are the first “Bachata-boy band,” the first band to fuse the essence of bachata with R & B, hip hop and other American pop styles; the first Bachata band to perform in English, Spanish and “Spanglish.” Aventura is also the first bachata group to feature songs that address serious life situations, delighting fans in the process, such as “Amor de madre,” “Hermanita”, “Papi dijo” and “La niña.”

Aventura’s fift album KOB Live (Kings of Bachata) was released on 12/19/2006 and has sold almost 300,000 units. The album is an elegant three disc project – two audio discs (containing 5 new studio songs, the best-of international performances and comedic skits by Aventura’s members) and a video component with exerpts from the sold-out concerts at Madison Square Garden and Altos de Chavon (La Romana, Dominican Republic) as well as the studio video “Los infieles” directed by Jessy Terrero and a pot-porri of B-roll footage to delight fans).

KOB features a number of industry personalities including Don Omar, a Miri Ben-Ari (The Hip Hop Violinist who has performed with artists such as Alicia Keyes, JayZ and many others) and Luis Jimenez from El Vacilon de la Mañana, to name a few. The lead single, “Los infieles” is a number one hit across the country, soon to enjoy similar success in Europe where it debuts on 12/19 as well. Aventura appeared at Premio lo Nuestro taking two awards – best duo and best traditional tropical act. In addition, Anthony was honored for “No no no,” where he composed the song and performed in duo with Thalia. Aventura was nominated for 4 Billboard awards took 3 in 2007.
