Frio Frio or Frio, Frio (English: Cold, Cold) is the lead single of the sixth studio album Areito by Dominican superstar Juan Luis Guerra. The song is considered to be a bachata by many, however it is actually a bolero. It was written based on a poem by Federico García Lorca and was released in August 1991.[1][2] The track received positive reviews from critics and was nominated for Tropical Salsa Song of the Year at the 4th Lo Nuestro Awards.[3][4] Frio Frio was a success peaking at number 4 on Billboard Hot Latin Tracks and at the Top 5 airplay in Panama and Uruguay.[5]
The track was included on Guerra's greatest hits album Grandes Éxitos Juan Luis Guerra y 440 and Coleccion Romantica (2001). In 2013, a live version of the song with Romeo Santos was released as lead single of Guerra's live album A Son de Guerra Tour (2013).
