Literal (album)

Literal is the 14th studio album by Dominican singer, songwriter and producer Juan Luis Guerra. It was released on 31 May 2019 by Universal Music Latin.[1][2][3] In much the same way that his 1994 album, Fogaraté includes a Bachata Adaptation of the Lacrimosa movement from Mozart's Requiem Mass in D Minor, this album includes the song "I Love You More" which interpolates sections from, or is otherwise influenced by, Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2. The album won Best Contemporany Tropical/Tropical Fusion Album at the 20th Annual Latin Grammy Awards on November 14, 2019.[4]
