Most fans know Lenny as Aventura's lead guitarist. Fewer know he's the producer who built the sound.
The Architect of Aventura
Lenny produced every Aventura album, with Romeo co-producing the last three. He brought electric-guitar effects like tremolo, phaser, flanger and wah into bachata for the first time, blending the genre with R&B and hip hop.
