K.O.B. Live (Kings of Bachata Live) is the second live album released by bachata group Aventura by Premiun Latin Music distributed by Sony Music Latin.[3] It was recorded during the promotion concert tour for their fourth studio album God's Project (2005). The tracks were recorded live in three United States locations: New York City, Boston, and Puerto Rico. They also recorded in Dominican Republic and Colombia. It also contains a DVD with videos of the performance at Altos de Chavón in La Romana, Dominican Republic and at the Madison Square Garden theater in New York. In the first, the group played before some 6,000 people, while in the second they made history by becoming the first bachata group to sell all the tickets before the event for that venue.[4]

The album is a double-disc live album and a bonus DVD. It contains all of their greatest hits at the time, along with several skits and other between-song banter. The first disc contains five new tracks, exploring lyrics of love, romance, sex and infidelity with their typical fusions of Bachata, R&B and spanglish lyrics. The album was supported by the released of three official singles: "Los Infieles", "Mi Corazoncito" and "El Perdedor". Following the success of the album, it won Tropical Album of the Year, Duo or Group at the 2007 Billboard Latin Music Awards and Tropical Album of the Year at the Premios Lo Nuestro 2008.[5] Also, the band won Best International Band at the 23rd annual Soberano Awards, at the time named the Casandra Awards.[6] K.O.B Live received generally positive reviews by the critics.
