""Vivo" is a recopillation of all Arjona's greatest hits. With a rocky history beggining with utter disapproval by society, to a sweet taste of understanding and a bit of glory, Arjona manages to carry each song to the deepest ends of all latins' hearts. For those who don't understand him, he is just another attempt of rebellion, but to the rest of us he is a mentor in his field. This CD is recommended to all fans or newcomers, it is a masterpiece of love, it is strong.....it is contreversial. Viva Guatemala!"
One of life's many lessons...

"I am a norweigan girl born in the United States. Until recently english was the only language I knew. For the past year I have been working in a restaurant where English is not the only language spoken. Most people I worked with would get frustrated because they could not understand Spanish and therefore could not communicate their requests. I analysed the situation and found these results agrivating and almost sad...why was the line so thickly drawn? So, I decided that I would try my best with what little Spanish I knew with hope for understanding. I arrived at my normal hour and instead of saying hello...I said "Hola', como estas? Me llamo Caitlyn, y tu'?" and instead of a remark on my accent or choice of words...they were incredibly warm and impressed that I had been so bold. We became well aquainted, I taught them English and they taught me Spanish. I fell so in love with the language, work was a field trip. One of my friends introduced me to Ricardo Arjona. I borrowed the cd and played it over and over and over trying to learn all the words and then trying to understand them. I made a tape and took it back to work. When they played it I sang all the words and even though half the time I had no idea what I was saying I could still feel the passion in every word he spoke. Thankyou for showing me how big this world is Ricardo. I hope someday I can see you en vivo!"

"Arjona is a true poet. His carreer has had heavy downfalls and a taste of glory, and "Vivo" summarizes the work of a lifetime. Those who believe his music to be pointless simply don't understand it's meaning. He is the voice of a society, his words our blood and history, a connection with our roots. He is not just another singer, he is a teacher, a mentor, an archetipal hero of success.Viva Guatemala!"
Great Cd
