Viento A Favor
About This Album
Viento a Favor, the first studio album by Alejandro Fernández in three years, is in several ways a continuation of the modern Latin pop style showcased on his previous effort, A Corazón Abierto (2004). Though producer/songwriter Kike Santander is nowhere to be found on Viento a Favor, his co-producer on A Corazón Abierto, Aureo Baqueiro, is once again at the helm. Not only does he produce the album, giving it a modern touch that is both vibrant and dynamic; he also earns a couple songwriting credits. Also collaborating with Fernández once again are songwriters Leonel García (of the Latin pop duo Sin Bandera), Gian Marco, and Jaime Flores; each was responsible for one of the three standout hits on A Corazón Abierto: "Me Dediqué a Perderte" (García), "Canta Corazón" (Marco), and "Qué Lástima" (Flores). Singer/songwriter Reyli Barba (aka Reyli, formerly of the band Elefante) also collaborates with Fernández again, contributing two songs this time, including "Amor Gitano," a duet with Beyoncé co-written with Flores. If that weren't enough production and songwriting talent on hand, Fernández also recruited the songwriting abilities of García's groupmate in Sin Bandera, Noel Schajris (who contributed the song "Solitario y Solo"), and up-and-coming Columbian singer/songwriter Fonseca ("Eres").
