Adentro is the tenth studio album by singer-songwriter Ricardo Arjona, released on December 6, 2005, by Sony Music Entertainment. Recorded in the United States and Mexico, the album was produced by Arjona himself, as well as Dan Warner and Lee Levin under their stage name Los Gringos, and Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Tommy Torres. The album marks the first collaboration between Arjona and the latter, who would subsequently become a regular contributor in following albums by the singer.

Arjona experimented with prominent Latin sounds for Adentro, such as Mexican and Tejano music on "Mojado"; as well as some Colombian and bachata elements on "Adiós Melancolía". Adentro was named "Arjona's most personal album", and his performance style was classified as "confident", with a "relevant-as-ever lyricism." It was named best Latin Pop Album for 2007 at the 49th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.

Adentro became Arjona's fifth consecutive album to reach the top ten on the US Billboard Top Latin Albums chart, peaking at number three. On the Latin Pop Albums chart, it attained a peak of number two. As of February 2006, the album has sold more than one million copies worldwide. Read more...
