By their fifth and final album, the Bronx-born bachateros had already revolutionised tropical music by taking their parents’ traditional, guitar-laced sound from the Dominican Republic and making it cool for the kids. Featuring collaborations with everyone from Wyclef Jean to Latin urban duo Wisin & Yandel, The Last stays true to that modern, bilingual bachata sound and makes cross-genre collaboration sexy. The top-selling Latin album of 2009, it also groomed lead singer Romeo Santos for solo superstardom.
