"After her Multi-platinum, Grammy award winner album "Muchas flores". Rosario returns to the top with this very good album.
"De mil colores" ("Of 1000 colors") follows the same direction of "Muchas flores" with her very known fusion of styles such as flamenco, pop and rock. The songs in this album are very good, the lyrics can be touchy, happy and even funny as track #10 "Los tangos de mi abuela" (My grandma's tangos), which is my favorite song here it has lots of energy that makes you feel like dancing and the lyrics...the lyrics are great with lines such as: "Mi abuelita tenia una olla, la metia debajo la cama y en la olla no se lo que hacia que la convertia en bola infernal" ("My grandmother had a pot, she use to put it under the bed and I don't know what she did with it that became like a ball of fire") this might sound stupid but when you hear the song, sounds very good.
There are also love songs such as: "Viviras" ("You'll live"), "De mil colores" ("Of 1000 colors"), "Como tu" ("Like you"), "Atado a esa mujer" ("Tighted up to that woman") with Antonio Carmona (main singer of "Ketama"). The funky ones are: "Vueltas" ("Spins"), "En mi casa" ("At my place"), "Aguanta ahi" ("Hold it there") and "La vida es un sueño" ("Life's a dream").
This album was released in november 2003 in Spain and became an instant hit, debuting at #1 and selling hundred thousands records on it's release week.
I strongly recommend this album. You may also like very much her previous work "Muchas flores"."
Excellent Excellent Excellent!!!

"Rosario does it again, with this brand new CD called "De Mil Colores"...Not only can we enjoy her outstanding and beautiful voice, we can also listen to songs and rhythms which I predict are soon to become instant hits. Her talent and her devotion to her flamenco music is obvious, capturing the attention of anyone who listens to the record...You don't have to be Spanish and know how to dance flamenco, trust me: with this album you'll be on your feet before you know it, drawn by the wonderful tunes!This is by far, one of the greatest and most talented singers and performers to come out of Spain, if this is your first chance in listening to Rosario, I strongly suggest you buy this record, and get to know this terrific singer!"
Excellent!!!

"I wholeheartedly concur with the previous review. Just what you would expect from Rosario. This CD is quite similar to "Muchas Flores", nevertheless just as brilliantly done. I can't stop playing it! You will not regret the purchase."
