Its barrage of electric singles ("Para Tu Amor," "La Camisa Negra," "Nada Valgo Sin Tu Amor," "Volverte a Ver") and equally compelling album tracks ("Amame," "Damelo," "Tu Guardian") still sizzle with energy. This deluxe Mi Sangre Tour Edition, however, offers a slew of treats that are tempting enough to entice a second purchase. A quartet of in-concert tracks find the Colombian performer in fine form and offer a preview of the inevitable live Juanes album. He even does justice to the inspired "Fotografia"--minus duet partner Nelly Furtado. Black Eyed Peas member Taboo spices up an urban-tinged take on the anthemic "La Paga," and the Sonidero Nacional Remix of "La Camisa Negra" artfully plays up the song's inherent regional sound. "Lo Que Importa" is an unreleased gem originally recorded for Juanes' 2000 debut disc, Fijate Bien, and it somehow fits in nicely with this collection. The accompanying DVD includes three music videos and a short interview with Juanes. It finds him discussing the album's origins and answering a series of impromptu preference questions--Meat or vegetables? (Meat); PC or Mac? (Mac); Movies or videos? (Movies). The new material only adds to Juanes' image as one of music's most intelligent, accomplished and accessible artists. --Joey Guerra
