[Guerra] has no equivalent in English-speaking pop, though there are parallels to songwriters like Paul Simon, Sting and Smokey Robinson. Like Mr. Simon and Sting, Mr. Guerra has forged hybrid rhythms, melding merengue and other beats from the Dominican Republic with styles from across the Caribbean, guitar lines from Africa and touches of jazz and rock… His music is cosmopolitan, but it never forgets its island roots.” – The New York Times
