P.A.R.C.E.

The phrase PARCE is an abbreviation of "parcero," a typical expression in Colombian Spanish meaning "friend" in Antioquia Colombia, where Juanes is from. In May 2010, Juanes announced he was working in the studio with album producer Stephen Lipson to record a new album in London. The album's first single was "Yerbatero". Juanes has said that the album contains messages of love, peace and freedom as well a very personal statement in the song "La Razón", which speaks of the joy of the reunion with his wife after their separation, the birth of their son and "The wonder that is home." The album was released in two editions. The Standard edition includes 10 tracks, and the Deluxe edition includes 12 tracks, plus two videos, two behind-the-scenes looks, and a documentary of P.A.R.C.E.[http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=8361501 Juanes - P.A.R.C.E.
