 The Best of the Best Nov 28, 2001
By Jose R. Perez
"Jose"
I've called this the Best Latin Album for non-Latin listeners, and the reasons for this are many. Here, on one disc, are the songs that put this legendary artist on the map. Guerra's magic stems from his ability - unique in today's predictable Latin sound - to combine thoughtful lyrics with melodies that remain in the mind and in the heart. From his paean to love, "Burbujas de Amor" (a love song between two fish - no kidding) to the overwhelming "Ojala Que Llueva Cafe en el Campo" to "La Billirubina" Guerra proves why he's Latin Music's equivalent of Frank Sinatra. A vocal stylist who is peerless, the man can sing his heart out with dizzying effect. "Grandes Exitos" is certainly a terrific addition to ANY music lover's collection. Even if you can't understand the words, you'll be dancing in the aisles. Pure genius.

Great music! Feb 09, 2003
By M. Speed
I am a person of zero Hispanic heritage who was given this album by a friend. All I can say is I wish I could find more music like this. I understand very little Spanish (and definitely not enough to understand the words when sung) but that doesn't stop me from making this the one album that is ALWAYS in the CD changer in my car. Many people have purchased this album after hearing it in my car when merely riding with me.

Taking it to another level Nov 02, 2003
I had already been very impressed by the original Latin sound of Guerra from his CD "Ni Es Lo Mismo Ni Es Igual." It is hard to describe but his music seemed to have a certain edge that I don't hear from most musicians. I am no listening to "Grand Exitos" for the FIRST time as I write this. That is how compelling and exciting his music is. I have listened to four songs and I am already convinced. This guy takes it to another level with his crisp arrangements, his joyous melodies...I hear a lot of African (Senegal/Congo) here with the fast guitar riffs. I guess that is only logical, given the obvious link between Africa and Latin America. I agree with everyone else here: this is one great CD. My son just walked in and recognized Track 4 "Visa para un sueno," saying, "we learned this in Spanish last year." Well, this makes a great addition any curriculum, Spanish, music, or learning about the world in general. Bravo, Juan Luis!

 La Banda 4.40-the best of the best Mar 23, 2004
By Marianopolita2005
This cd is a wonderful compilation of the greatest hits of Juan Luis Guerra's music over the years. I couldn't of compiled it better myself. If you are familiar with and like Juan Luis' music and are looking to have some of his best on one cd this one would satisfy your requirements. I like most of the songs on the album although there are some that are not good as the others. The big hits on this album that seem to always hold strong are: La Bilirrubina, Burbujas de amor, Ojala que llueva cafe, El costo de la vida & Bachata Rosa. However, popularity varies from region to region. But I must say this album has power because in every Latin country that I have visited in the past and present somehow from a store, a car or a house I would hear this album playing and could imagine the joy that it brings to its listeners.

Truly Grande! Feb 24, 2001
I am a forty-eight year old white Anglo-Saxon female who decided to take dance lessons and immediately fell in love with Latin music. My wonderful instructor gave me a list of cds which included Grandes Exitos, and I simply can't stop listening and dancing to it. Juan Luis Guerra's songs have such amazing rhythms and melodies that I go to sleep and wake up with them on my mind. And his voice is both strong and versatile. I have a long way to go with my dancing, but I am enjoying every moment, especially with music like this. Next I am going to learn Spanish!
