Fogaraté! is the seventh album of the famous Dominican songwriter and musician Juan Luis Guerra. It was released on July 19, 1994.[1][2][3] The album mixed a variety of music genres including rural and flolklroic rots of merengue called "Perico Ripao" with elements of African soukus music and Tropical Music such as Reggae with the collaboration of African guitarist Diblo Dibala and Dominican accordionist Francisco Ulloa, along with Son, Bachata and Salsa.[4][5][6] Also, the album features a particular, bachata-styled adaptation of the Lacrimosa movement from Mozart's Requiem Mass in D Minor and Guerra's first song fully in English "July 19". Exploring lyrics and themes about magical realism of Latin American literature and commenting on the politics of the Caribbean, for many fans and critics, Fogaraté! is one of his most musically complex album.[7]
The album received widespread critical acclaim, with some music critics citing it as one of the best albums of 1994.[8][9] Fogaraté! was nominated for Best Tropical Latin Album at the 37th Annual Grammy Awards and for a Lo Nuestro Award for Tropical Album of the Year at the 7th Lo Nuestro Awards.[10] Also, Juan Luis Guerra won songwriter of the year at the 1995's BMI Latin Awards The album was supported by three official singles Vivire, La Cosquillita and El Beso de la Ciguatera were awarded as well.

Fogarate! peaked for five consecutive weeks at the top of charts in Spain and debuted at the top five of US Billboard Top Latin Albums and Tropical Albums. It reached the Top ten in Chile and Puerto Rico and top twenty in Netherlands and Portugal. Despite this, the commercial response for the album was moderate to limited in comparison to his blockbuster album Bachata Rosa (1990) and the million-sellers Areito (1992) and Ojala que llueva Cafe (1989). To promote the record, Guerra embarked some farewell concerts before taking a four-year hiatus due personal issues such as stress, pressure and sleeping problems which caused his conversion to Christianity. He came back with Ni es lo Mismo Ni Es Igual in 1998.
Background
As of July 1994, Guerra sold over eight million of copies worldwide of his past studio albums. In 1989, Guerra become an international sensation with the release of his studio album Ojala que llueva Cafe. The titled track, was inspired on a poem of the poor work conditions of the rural zones. His next album, Bachata Rosa, that contains elements of jaz, Cuban Son and Rock sold over 5 millions of units worldwide and won the grammy for Best Tropical Album. In 1992, "Areito" (named for the social gatherings of the Dominican Republic's pre-Colombuian Tainios tribe) further strengthened his reputations as the "Tropical Mixmaster" incorporation elements of merengue with Haitian compas, Zairean soukous and bachata to make powerful statements about economic inequality in the Caribbean. Following of the end of the Areito World Tour, Guerra started to record a new album at New York. Accordionist, Francisco Ulloa and his band traveled from Santiago de los caballeros to help and collaborate with the record the album. With the release of the lead single "La Cosquillita", Guerra wanted to made clear his perico ripao (rural merengue) approach on his album.[14] The colorful and energetic cover was done by Roy Lichtenstein, a first for the Latin music industry.[15]
Recording, music style and title

The album was recorded at 440 studios in New York.

John Storm Roberts by AllMusic, called the result as "soukous-influenced merengue".[16] Fogarate! mixes a variety of music (merengue, salsa, bachata, perico ripiado, African soukous with lyrics influenced by the magical realism of Latin American literature and commenting on the politics of the Caribbean.[7] The result of the combination of the works of Diablo Dibala and Francisco Ulloa demonstrate the two-way influence between Afro-pop and Afro-Caribbean music.[17] The tracks "El Farolito", "La Cosquillita" and "El Canto de la Hacha" were recording with the collaboration of Francisco Ulloa and his band. Those tracks are based on rural merengue, Perico Ripiao.[18] While, the guitarist Diblo Dibala along with this band Matchatcha, collaborated with the tracks "Fogarate", "Los Mangos Bajitos" and "El Beso de la Ciguatera".[19] On the track "Los Parajitos" and "Oprobio" Guerra explored the Cuban son and Vivire the Dominican Bachata.[20] "Oficio de Enamorado" is a smooth salsa and on the following track on the tracklist, "La Lacrimosa" attempts an interpretation of Mozart's Requiem with bachata.[21][22] The album also contained Guerra first English language track "July 19th".
Title
"Fogarate" is the Dominican word for the plant Mucuna pruriens, whose dust causes an intense itching on contact with the skin. But the word has a double meaning: in the Dominican Republic it is said that a person has "fogaraté" when he is very "on", or if he is very "alive". A woman who has "fogaraté" is that she is turned on in terms of sensuality.[23]
Writing and composition
The album consists of twelve tracks. The first track, "Los Mangos Bajitos" is the only track on the record that contains social content.[24] The lyrics is an adaptation of a decimero from a famous Dominican (Juan Antonio Alix) written 1904 about political corruption and violence with Congolese Diblo Dibala performing on guitar.[25][26] The song is a mix the merengue and soukus. "El Farolito" compare the silhouette of a woman with a lantern.[27] According to Guerra, the song is "his personal version of "perico ripiao" with brass, synthesizer and a guitar strummed reggae style. Los Pajaritos is a love story between two little birds to the rhythm of Cuban son. Vivire, is a ballad written by African composer Papa Wemba.[15] El Beso de la Ciguaterra is another merengue-soukus. According to the artist: "Ciguatera is a disease caught by eating fish infected with poisonous algae, but here is a kiss that transmit it".[28] "Oficio De Enamorado" is a romantic salsa and as for the arrangements, very sophisticated and influenced by Joe Cuba.
"Lacrimosa" Bachata inspired by the 'Lacrimosa' from Mozart's 'Requiem'. The tile track, "Fogarate", compare the energy of a brown skin women with the flower of the same name. Also, with music by Dibala and in which his guitar performance. "Canto De Hacha" with the collaboration of Francisco Ulloa is pure folk theme, without sophistications. "Oprobio" created in the 1920s or 1930s by Puerto Rican Rafael Hernández, is one of Guerra my favorite son. It has a very hurtful lyrics that the artist softened. "July 19th" is Guerra first English song. A bachata reminiscent of the Beatles, but some caribbean influence. "La Cosquillita" is another Perico Ripiao made with the collaboration of Francisco Ulloa and his band but written and composed of Juan Luis Guerra. According to the Guerra, is a "frenetic rhythm to dance".[28]

Sales figures for Fogarate were good in comparison to most tropical artists at the time. However, album sales were lower than his previous work Areito (1992) and a commercial disappointment in comparison to Bachata Rosa from 1990. Many attributed this to the album structure which was mostly based on the traditional "perico ripiao", the more danceable prototype of the "merengue", which was not popular outside of the Dominican Republic and some fans were unfamiliar with Dominican culture at the time. This situation along with the controversy around his predecessor and Guerra's refusal to not to repeat the commercial formula of mix rhythms used in Bachata Rosa, led to a popularity decline in some countries.[53][54]
