"New York has a huge melting pot of people, and there's a certain feeling in the air during a humid, sweaty summer. Si-Se captures that feeling perfectly in their music. I had the opportunity to see them open for David Byrne back in 2001, and I immediately bought this album. It has consistantly been one of my favorite albums, and the blend of trip-hop, latin music, and pop is incomparable to any other band playing today. They are as unique to latin music as tool is to heavy metal, or aphex twin is to electronica. Si-Se is a genre unto itself.Si-Se live is another beast altogether. In the past year I have seen them no less than 6 times, which is only about half of the times they've played. They play New York at least once a month, and tour various other states at least once a year. If they come to your town, SEE THEM. It's a show that will revitalize your hope in music for the 21st century.I'm happy to see that they have maintained their rabid fan base in the 2 years since I first saw them, and while I hear there are some label problems delaying their second release, I will wait patiently, because I know I won't be let down."

"I don't typically like this style of music, but a friend gave me this CD for Christmas a while back, and I was blown away. It has so many textures and moods. There is something very real about this album. It made me feel things in a way that most other music does not. I highly recommend Si Se'!"

YEeee Haaaaaaa!!!!

"Si*Se' Rocks!!!! I love this album, I love this band, They're fantastic live, They're fantastic all around. No 30 second snippet can give you a feel for how slick this music is. It's all over the place. The Songs take twists and turns but they're sexy, smooth and easy turns though, not jerky and wierd. Carol C's voice is amazing and The Live Strings and percussion give it an organic feel that gets lost in a lot of todays music. Everyone I've ever played this album for bought it. Hip Hop fans, Latin music fans, Pop fans, music fans across the board... every rating so far is a 5 dagnabbit. Buy it, immediately."
