Adentro is the tenth studio album by singer-songwriter Ricardo Arjona, released on December 6, 2005. It was named best Latin Pop Album for 2007 at the 49th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.[1]
Recording
This was the first time Arjona collaborated with Tommy Torres. On an interview, the singer commented that he first "tested" Torres by sending him the "hookiest and darkest tracks" on the album, "Acompañame A Estar Solo" and "Iluso".[2] Torres said that he "went all out on the first demo, hiring a full band that included a string orchestra", which grabbed the attention of Arjona.[2] Arjona further commented that Adentro was "a very representative and tremendously complete album," adding that "having different producers made it rich in possibilities."[2]
Music and lyrics
Arjona proved new sounds in Adentro. Evan Gutierrez from Allmusic considered the instrumentation, performance, and overall sonic palette to be "minimalist" and "unassuming".[3] On this album, Arjona included more Latin sounds, like some Mexican and Tejano music on "Mojado",[4] a song about immigration;[5] some merengue and Colombian tones on "Adiós Melancolía", and some rock on "No Te Cambio Por Nada".
Fundacion Adentro
The Fundación Adentro is an organization founded bu Guatemalan singer-songwriter Ricardo Arjona to help provide music and singing education to poor child in Guatemala.[6] Arjona commented that the main objetive of the organization "isn't becoming and important foudation internationally, but to help child reach their dreams."[6] The organization begun in 2005, prior to the release of Adentro, from which the foundation receives its name.[7] It was officially launched in July 2008, and its headquarters are located in Mexico City.[6]

The album was critically acclaimed, with Evan C. Gutierrez from Allmusic giving it four starts out of five and commenting that "Be it for the stripped, natural production value, the confident performance of Ricardo Arjona, or his relevant-as-ever lyricism, he's got both his loyal fans and the execs at Norte smiling. While the instrumentation, performance, and overall sonic palette of this project are minimalist and unassuming, there is a depth and brilliance to them. The listener's ear does not tire or want for more, humble as Adentro is."[3] Billboard gave a positive review of the album, commenting that lyrically, it was "Arjona's most personal album", and that arrangements had "more rock elements", calling them "more cohesive" than past albums.[8] The review closed stating that "It is hard to be touching, relevant and musically compelling all at once, but Arjona pulls it off."[8]
