Areíto is the sixth album by Juan Luis Guerra with his band 440, released in 1992. The album, meant to be a tribute to the indigenous tribes of the Dominican Republic, continued to show a strong African/Aborigene music influence in Guerra's songs: Famous congolese musician Diblo Dibala played guitar in the song "El Costo de la Vida", which was a Spanish cover of his own soukous song "Kimia Eve"; and the last track on the album, "Naboria daca, mayanimacaná", is sung in Arawak, the language of the Taíno people.
