Que qué?  You heard us right.  The Kings of Bachata, Aventura, are expanding their kingdom to embrace new(er) technologies by launching a new iPhone app, called Aventura Open Mic.  The karaoke game, which is now available through iTunes for a cool $1.99, allows you to sing along con tus canciones favoritas de los bachateros.

Feeling brave?  The app allows you to turn off Romeo and the boys, and flex your own vocal muscle on "Su Veneno" y "Un Beso."  Y si necesitas un motivo para tener una fiesta, how about plugging your phone into your speakers, and competing with your closest amigos to see who can score the most difficulty points?  Listo, pass the Brugal con Coca-Cola y a cantar!

Will YOU be buying this app?  Tell us in the comments! [Billboard]

Earlier this week, President Obama and the First Lady celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month by inviting over some major estrellas de la música Latina, and some other famous celebs. But we have a weakness for Aventura (doesn't everyone?), so we're bringing you a clip of their performance of "Su Veneno," courtesy of PBS and MTV News. Listen up for Romeo's recount of a conversation with the President, and a shout out to Justice Sotomayor, who's also from the Bronx!

Enjoy!

Aventura have made Billboard history!  Their latest best-selling album, 'The Last,' has been el número uno on the Latin Album charts for 12 consecutive weeks -- that's tres meses for all you mathematically-impaired gente.

The feat places los Kings of Bachata into an elite grupo de artistas who have held the #1 spot on the charts for 12 weeks or more: Shakira, Marc Anthony, Daddy Yankee and Christina Aguilera.   Not too shabby como compañia, verdad?  'The Last' debuted at #1 three months ago and hasn't budged since -- the first time an album accomplishes this en tres años!  We think those collaborations with Akon, Wisin y Yandel y otros have certainly helped las cosas, pero there's no doubt that when it comes to urban romantic bachata, Aventura siguen siendo los reyes!

Felicitaciones chicos!  How are Aventura celebrating their momentous musical acontecimiento?  With a U.S. tour of course!  Aventura will be taking 'The Last' to you starting in November.  Check Aventura's Myspace para más detalles on their upcoming tour!

Don't forget, Aventura are nominated for Best MTV Tr3s Artist for Los Premios MTV 2009, along with Wisin y Yandel, Pitbull, Tito 'El Bambino' y Calle 13.  Cast tu voto ahora and make it count! Watch Aventura's latest music video, "Su Veneno," below!

The Kings of Bachata are trying their hand at another type of música romántica: boleros. You heard it right -- Aventura recorded a bolero version of their nueva canción "Su Veneno" in addition to the original bachata.  We showed you a preview of the steamy new video last week, but now you can see for yourself as Romeo learns a lesson en el amor the hard way after falling in love with a beautiful bad girl! Watch the exclusive video premiere of the bolero version of "Su Veneno" below!

Do you think that Romeo should have gotten the girl?!  Leave your thoughts below!

Aventura fans rejoice! We have your first look at the bachateros new video, "Su Veneno."

The chart-topping singers may have twisted a Miami Vice vibe into their latest video "All Up To You," but now they are taking it back to the old escuela. The concept of the video directed by Pablo Croce features the Santos stars working at a cabaret for a living. Suddenly Romeo falls in love with una dama, but her risky profession (she is a prostitute) gets in the way of their brief romance. Will Romeo land the girl this time?

We can guarantee that it will have a telenovela finale! Check out our exclusive pics below...

Tune into the exclusive online premiere of the bolero version of Aventura's video at www.mtvtr3s.com starting Monday, July 6th and watch the video on MTV Tr3s!
