The Kings of Bachata, Aventura, took the stage on Saturday, July 10th at the IZOD around 9pm. The crowd immediately got to its feet and deafening cheers filled the arena. They got right down to business cranking out hits opening with “Por Un Segundo” and performed hit after hit, cuts from their latest multi-platinum selling album “The Last” like “El Malo,” “Dile Al Amor” and previous recordings, including an acoustic performance of an oldie “Alexandra.”

Their repertoire is so rich they performed for nearly three hours and towards the end of the show slowed things down and took requests from the audience.
Their repertoire is so rich they performed for nearly three hours and towards the end of the show slowed things down and took requests from the audience. But by the far the most exciting portion of any Aventura show is when lead singer and songwriter, Romeo, picks a curvy girl from the audience to live out his fantasy of wanting to dance like Usher and dances for a lucky girl. He chose a robust curly-haired young woman who lay on the stage’s staircase and prepared for her lap dance. She held on to his thighs as Romeo proceeded to grind up and down her chest and gyrated on her face.
After the dance he helped her up and gave her a kiss on the lips converting the young woman into the most hated girl of the evening.
The performance was bitter sweet it marked the first of their two night stint at the IZOD center for their last US show for a while. Many in attendance traveled from different parts of New Jersey and New York City to see their favorite group perform for the last time.
