Aventura is a bachata music group from The Bronx, New York, United States. … Read Full Bio ↴Aventura is a bachata music group from The Bronx, New York, United States. Aventura was formed in 1994 by Anthony Santos, Henry Santos, Lenny Santos, and Max Santos, three of whom are natives of The Bronx and one born in the Dominican Republic. Self-taught and determined, Aventura made their big break in 1999, with the hopes of breaking bachata music out from its traditional base and fusing it with modern popular sounds like hip hop and R&B. Aventura was the second Latin musical performer to completely sell out Madison Square Garden music arena in New York City in 2010. They are set to reunite in 2014, as hinted by their Facebook cover photo and according to a recent interview with frontman Anthony "Romeo" Santos. We can only hope this comes as soon as possible because all these solo ventures are a big KI and they made their best music as a unit.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Aventura's "Skit" depict a comical phone conversation between Aventura's manager and a man from their hood who calls just to chat and ask a few questions. The caller is somewhat disrespectful and playful, referring to the manager as "cat" and "fish," which the manager reluctantly accepts. The caller asks about Aventura's retirement and why their recent album is called "The Last," to which the manager denies any retirement plans and cites various reasons for the album name. The conversation ends with the caller accusing the manager of lying and hanging up.

While on the surface, the lyrics of "Skit" seem like a random exchange, it exposes the cultural importance of community in Latin American neighborhoods. People tend to playfully tease each other, joke around, and use colorful language to establish connection and familiarity. Furthermore, the conversation highlights the importance of music to Latin American culture; even someone from the hood could take pride in the success of local performers like Aventura.
