Guatemalan singer/songwriter Ricardo Arjona is one of the more respected Latin artists, mostly for his social conscience and his integrity in writing and performing songs. Born in Antigua, he was interested in music from an early age but later decided to become a rural schoolteacher. He also played basketball for the Guatemalan national team, but continued to play his guitar and write songs in his spare time. After realizing that music was his one true love, he moved to Mexico City; once there, he began looking for a record contract and played at many student festivals, increasing his status as a protest singer.

Arjona finally found a contract through PolyGram, but the label attempted to market him as a Latin-lover type on his debut album, Dejame Decir Que Te Amo (Let Me Say I Love You). Predictably, the album failed, and Arjona spent the next five years teaching and occasionally writing songs recorded by other artists. He moved to Buenos Aires, began playing again, and soon returned to the recording sphere with material more suited to his experiences as a protest singer, namely "Jesus Verbo No Sustantivo," a controversial song about his experiences at a Catholic school as a child. It gained him a contract with Sony, which released many of his most popular albums, including Animal Nocturno. Adentro, released in late 2005, was nominated for a 2006 Grammy in the Latin Pop Album category. ~ John Bush, All Music GuideMore

La Amistad es una dulce canci�n de la vida,
es la poes�a de la eternidad;
El amigo es la otra mitad de las personas
La primera y m�s clara,
Cuando encontramos un amigo,
encontrar un poco m�s de nosotros mismos;
El amigo revela, descubre, comodidad
Es siempre una puerta abierta
en cualquier situaci�n.
El amigo en el tiempo, el sol es a mediod�a,
Estrellas en la oscuridad;
El amigo es el rumbo de la br�jula y el oc�ano,
Puerto seguro de la tripulaci�n,
El amigo es el milagro del calor humano,
que Dios act�a en el coraz�n.
Amistad dulce canto de la vida.
