He is a Colombian Singer.
He got the name Juanes from his mother, who shortened his first and middle names (Juan Esteban).
If you are going to buy one album of his, I would suggest "Un Dia Normal". Use that album to decide if you like his music (I have recommended this album to several non Spanish speaking friends and they all loved it.)
His album "Mi Sangre" is the one that has the song La Camisa Negra on it.

Juan Esteban Aristizábal Vásquez (born August 9, 1972), best known as Juanes, is a rock musician from MedellÃn, Colombia. During the 1980s and 1990s, Juanes was a member of heavy metal band Ekhymosis but disbanded the group in 1998 to pursue a solo career. His 2000 solo debut album, FÃjate Bien, had moderate commercial success and went on to win three Latin Grammy Awards.
His sophomore album, Un DÃa Normal was certified platinum throughout much of the Spanish-speaking world, and its lead single "A Dios le Pido" topped singles charts in twelve countries. Mi Sangre, his third album, fared equally well with Juanes promoting it on a tour with over 200 performances.[1] The album's third single, "La Camisa Negra", generated controversy after being used as a symbol for Italian neo-fascism.[2] Juanes is one of the best-selling Colombian musicians, having sold more than ten million albums and won twelve Latin Grammys.[3] Juanes is also known for his humanitarian work, especially with aid for Colombian victims of anti-personnel mines.
