19 May 2008Wanna see Juan Luis Guerra en vivo ,in his first major/national tour of the U.S. in over a decade? Well get out your datebooks and pencil in the dates for his just announced summer tour, La Travesia,that are listed after the jump.
Apparently, last night was the Premios Billboard de la Musica Latina. I really couldn’t stomach most of it: the bad fashion, the fake tetas, the bad singing. But hey when all else fails there is always Juan Luis Guerra.
Edited to add: Last night Juan Luis Guerra and 440 pretty much sweeped the awards. Guerra and 440 won “Hot Latin Songs Artist of the Year” and “Tropical Album of the Year (Duo or Group)”. Guerra also won The “Producer of the Year” honor.

Dominican music legend Juan Luis Guerra is being sued by his producer, puertorriqueña Maritza Casiano for breach of contract. We’d love to give you the details, but I’m afraid there aren’t many. Apparently Casiano and Guerra have worked together for over 20 years, and something went wrong with a contract, so it’s off to San Juan’s Federal Court. The official statement reads:
“Casiano Group ni la productora Maritza Casiano emitirán declaraciones más allá de las que explica el documento presentado en el tribunal de la Corte federal”, indica la comunicación que recuerda “los más de 20 años de relación y el gran afecto entre las partes”.
According to Spain’s 20 Minutos, Casiano says she is “very affected” and prefers that the courts put an end to the dispute between her and Juan Luis Guerra.
