FENDER HONORS MULTI-GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING ARTIST, JUANES, WITH SIGNATURE STRATOCASTER® GUITAR AND ACCESSORIES COLLECTION
HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Aug. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) today, fittingly debuting on his birthday, announces the launch of the Juanes Stratocaster® guitar, a collaboration with multi-Grammy and Latin Grammy® award-winning singer, songwriter, guitarist and philanthropist, Juanes. On the heels of his latest album release, Vida Cotidiana (praised by Rolling Stone as "His best album yet!"), the Juanes signature guitar captures the essence of his sound, tone and look – a distinctive blend of pop, rock and metal fused with the unique folkloric sounds of Colombia, as well as his passion for innovation, culture and philanthropy. Regarded as a leading trailblazer for Latin music and a champion for social transformation, Juanes will give back by donating all artist proceeds to his foundation, Mi Sangre, which empowers new generations and fosters a culture of peace in Colombia and beyond.
- Fender is honored to commemorate Latin music, culture and Juanes' unwavering commitment to his family and philanthropic endeavors, with the introduction of this signature guitar.
- Born in Medellin, Colombia, Juanes began his musical journey as a self-taught guitar player at the young age of seven.
- Decidí vender todo lo que tenía para comprarme mi primera guitarra Fender, me vine a los Estados Unidos y grabé mi primer álbum.
- "As the first-ever marketing campaign for a Latin artist signature guitar, Fender is honored to continue to bring the impact of Latin music culture to the forefront."
