Gifted Colombian guitarist-singer Juanes was going along,
channeling his early love of pop, Metallica, and Latin American
folk music into his metal-ish band Ekhymosis. When it came time to
cut the umbilical cord and launch his solo career at the turn of
the Millennium, Juanes leapt up several notches, on the strength of
his Latin Grammy-magnetized albums Fijate Bien, Un Dia Normal, and
Mi Sangre. By this point, Juanes, whose show tonight at Chumash
Casino is very sold-out, is a veritable Spanish-language pop
superstar, with plenteous chops and a heart in the right place.
