CD Reviews

Flawless beautiful ambi-cultural music

A. Moore | San Francisco, CA United States | 05/12/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The last track a thing of beauty and up beat tempo in memory of a political murder involving a 17 year old man and a border that should never have been. However listening to this innocent of liner notes and/or review, you will have an ineffable pleasant musical experience without a hint of the harder stuff. Even people I know who really don't care for music, as such, are quite taken by this CD."

Or even seven stars ...

"This and the first Charanga Cakewalk CD, "Loteria de la Cumbia Lounge," are two of my favorite CDs for working or relaxing (second only to Julieta Venegas's "MTV Unplugged" or "Limon y Sal"). To my ears, they are the absolute best chill CDs. It's too bad there are no sound samples on these pages. However, if you like chill and Tejano, just get this CD. Also get "Loteria de la Cumbia Lounge." If in doubt, pick up a used copy. Chilly listening!"
