AND THE WORLD DISCOVERED RICKY MARTIN
He quickly caught the attention of the news media, which acclaimed his participation in the famous series. The impulse to "crossover " to other language markets was already there; he only had to wait for the right moment. And the right moment came with his third recording: "A Medio Vivir". First it became popular in America, then in Europe, followed by rest of the world. . "A Medio Vivir" became the realization of his dreams, life-long dedication, and sacrifice. In this album the union of his experience, and his renovation, gave way to the re-birth of Ricky Martin: a mature performer, with an incredible on-stage presence, and the aura of an international superstar.
"Maria", the number one title in America and Europe, was just the initial example of the new Latin idol. Ricky is all that and much more, not only in music, but also on stage and screen. The evidence is in the close to five million copies sold of his latest recording, the multitudinous concerts, and the recognition received.  Ricky Martin has captured the relay from the old generation, mixing the more popular rhythms of all Latin America with new current musical trends, adding the magical components of his charm, talent and professionalism.
"Vuelve", reaffirms his growth and meets all the goals that "A Medio Vivir" had set. . "Vuelve" presents a Ricky Martin in full splendor, with years of experience and already an internationally acclaimed star. This success gives Ricky Martin the will and inspiration to further grow as an artist and performer. "Vuelve" is a brilliant work, product of the synergy of ideas from Robi Rosa, KC Porter, and of course, Ricky.Three different approaches to music that have joined forces at the time to interpret and produce this album. Luis Gomez Escobar has also collaborated in most of the lyrics. This album presents one of the most diverse unions of Latin rhythms and styles, that converge into the feeling and sensuality of Latin music, both equally contagious. The impressive ballads, such as "Vuelve" the album’s title, as well as the more rhythmic numbers are infused with a modernism that is surprising because of its presentation legitimacy, and the purity of its roots. Themes such as "Por Arriba, Por Abajo', "Lola, Lola", " or "La Bomba" combine as much salsa and rumba as they do jazz, rock, or pop, without losing their inborn strength.
"La Copa de la Vida", the hymn of the forthcoming Soccer World Cup in France '98, carries a clear Brazilian tone with a message of optimism and vitality."The culmination of many years of hard work, experience, effort, and the continuos desire to improve, evident only in true artists.
