“The release of the new album by Colombian rocker Juanes is something of a watershed moment for fans of rock en español. Back in the late ’80s/early ’90s, the feisty scene exploding out of the Spanish-speaking world was often derided or ignored by the Latin pop and English-language rock mainstream.

Flash forward to this week and Juanes’ La Vida Es un Ratico (Life is a Moment) is reportedly the first all-Spanish album to be released simultaneously in North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australia. That’s how high expectations are at Juanes’ label, Universal, for its success. Take that, Ricky Martin.”*
