Juanes


For those of you who don't know, Juanes' new album, P.A.R.C.E., has recently been released. If you aren't familiar with Juan Esteban Aristizábal Vásquez, more commonly known as Juanes, he is a Columbian musician. He was originally a member of Ekhymosis, but became a solo artist when the band dissembled in 1998. Since then, Juanes' fame has skyrocketed in the Latin American world. He has released 5 albums, won 17 Latin Grammys and 1 Grammy Award. Juanes is known for his humanitarian work, such as his 2009 Peace Concert in Cuba and his aid work with victims of anti-personnel mines in Columbia.
