Career of Juan Luis Guerra

Juan Luis Guerra Sejias was
born in Santo Domingo Dominican
Republic, he is the son of Olga Seijas and Gilberto Guerra, a basketball
player. Before he committed to music, Guerra studied philosophy and literature
at the Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo. He then studied guitar and music
theory at El Conservatorio Nacional de Música de Santo Domingo, then decided to
go to the United States to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston. He
graduated from Berklee in 1982 with a diploma in jazz composition.]After his
return to the Dominican Republic, he released his first album,
"Soplando"(1984) with a group of local musicians that subsequently
became known as Juan Luis Guerra y 440. The group members were Maridalia
Hernández, Roger Zayas-Bazán, and Mariela Mercado. The band's name in Spanish
is officially publicized as Cuatro Cuarenta (Four Forty), a shortening of the
normally strict reading of number "four hundred forty". The 440 part
of the band's name refers to the standard tuning of A440. According to Guerra,
this first album was based on jazz tunes and concepts he had learned at
Berklee, and it "wasn't intended to be a commercial hit."
Subsequently, however, he began to write more merengues.

bossa-nova influenced melodies and harmony in some of his songs. He does not

like merengue, bachata-fusion, balada, salsa, rock and roll, and even gospel.
"Ojalá Que Llueva Café" ("I Wish It Would Rain Coffee"),
