"The whole album is very good, with a couple astounding tracks. I've played it at a couple weddings and parties and people always go nuts when I put this stuff on. Check out Babaloo as well. They are less sophisticates, less traditional, but just as fun and just as danceable. But back to Desorden Publico -- Truly tons of fun!"
It captures the soul of Caracas!

"I listened to this recording nearly every day during my year-long stay in Venezuela. The blend of tongue-in-cheek lyrics describing the everyday life, violence, history and romanticism of Venezuela with ska and other infectious rhythms make this CD a delight to experience.My favorite track is "Manuela" as it hauntingly describes a romantic episode in Simon Bolivar's heroic and tragic life."
