Como Abeja al Panal


"Como Abeja Al Panal" is a song by Dominican Republic singer-songwriter Juan Luis Guerra released in 1990 and served as the lead single from his fifth studio album Bachata Rosa. It is a song that tells the story of a forbidden love.
The song was originally released in separate verses in a two-part Commercial for Barceló Rum, as a Bachata with bolero elements and the lyrical overarching storyline of forbidden love, with the male and female lead trading stanzas. The rhythm change to salsa in the Single/CD version is omitted from the Barceló commercials. It was one of Guerra's first international hits and help to contribute to the bachata sophistication along with Estrellitas y Duendes and Bachata Rosa. The track's success demonstrated that tropical music could be fun, danceable and commercial, and at the same time, witty and complex.
