Jon Secada Is Back.

After selling 20 million copies, Jon Secada presents Amanecer, his first album for Crescent Moon Records.

His most recent production includes ten songs that represent the rescue of accordions and vallenatos, the maximum cadence of the Peruvian waltz, the melancholy tones of the bachata, the electrifying pulse of merengue and the full romanticism of the bolero. Although Secada’s voice has impacted pop music ever since his record debut as a soloist in 1992, in “Amanecer,” he rediscovers himself as a spokesman for all of the musical roots of the Americas.

Along the road of expanding and rediscovering musical concepts, Secada counted with the collaboration of producer and composer Archie Peña, whose task was to give the deserved importance to the percussion by sustaining instruments indigenous to the continent.

Talented songwriter Gian Marco composed the album’s romantic highlights. The Peruvian artist wrote Si No Fuera Por Ti, the record’s first single, and two other songs. For the first time ever, in a vote of total confidence in his colleagues’ creativity, Jon didn’t include his own creations in his album.

Another surprise element is the participation of international music diva, Gloria Estefan. Together, they taped one of the most beautiful romantic songs, Por Amor, in a duo that they sang live for the first time in the Dominican Republic. Fernando Villalona also enthusiastically accompanied Jon in the merengue Ay Bueno.

The record shows Jon at the height of maturity. It also synthesizes 17 years during which his focus has been what he knows and enjoys making: professional music.

Jon’s knowledge and innate talent have always been valued by Emilio Estefan, his conduit to the music industry. Getting Jon’s best wasn’t hard, since he’s a complete artist who participates fully in the process of releasing a song, from its inception to its interpretation with a unique vocal technique. The highlights in a list long list of awards and tributes are three Grammy’s and several Billboard Music Awards.

Jon has also used his talent and knowledge to write and produce songs for other artists, such as Ricky Martin, Jennifer López, Shakira, Cher and Denisse Quiñonez’s upcoming project, among others.

He was among the authors of the song El Ultimo Adiós. Jon was also among the National Alliance For Excellence community leaders appointed by President George W. Bush.
