1. Classic Album - I remember my mom playing this album every Saturday morning. I hated this album as a young kid, but as I grew, I finally understood the context of this album and it is one of my all time favorite Mana album. I love the tropical sound of this album, and amuses me when all my “white friends” have and listen to “that one mana album”. Great!

1. Totally Unique, Original Acoustic Guitar Style - There is no one else like this delightful pair of ex-metal guitarists who developed their own very unique acoustic guitar style many years ago. Gabriela's complex rhythms are a very original blend of muted string and extensive guitar surface purcussive techniques that provide a broad array of sounds. Many other acoustic guitarists today are employing guitar surface percussion in their performance, but no one comes close to the complexity or variety that Gabriela is capable of. Rodrigo is a consumate shredder capable of lightning-fast yet extremely precise riffs. It is one thing to accomplish this level on an electric guitar with low string action and close string spacing, but it is a completely different achievement on a classical guitar! A must-see (hear) in person. They rise to incredible heights across their later albums culminating in the amazing collaboration on the C.U.B.A. album.

2. One problem - I LOVE this album; however, there seems to be a technical problem with it. About minutes into the third track (Vikingman) there is a or second interruption from static — not just static but a voice, kind of like a radio station that’s losing reception. There’s also some almost imperceptible static leading into this song, but it is much less annoying. I contacted iTunes customer support and was provided with a fresh download, which had the same problem. I then purchased the CD from Amazon — same problem. So, this isn’t an iTunes problem, but you should be aware that it’s there. I would’ve given stars if it hadn’t been for that one unfortunate glitch.

3. Phenomenal - These two are amazing musicians. This isn't your average type of guitar playing. This has sooo much character to it. You really need to watch these two play to understand the complexities of the music they write. Hearing is only part of it and the album is worth it but if you ever have the chance to watch them live you have to do it.

1. Loves it...... - This album is worth buying...it has a little bit of everything. You can listen to the whole CD without having to skip in between songs. The best songs have to be of course Labios Compartidos, Relax, Tu Me Salvaste, Tengo Muchas Alas....to keep it to the point all of these songs are great!!!!! So buy the album you wont regret it :)

2. Very Good - Nice album. They have the musical sound of the s with the lyrical interest of the same time period. Crisp, clear, meaningful, and full of feeling. They remind me of a cross between Tears for Fears (lyrical messages) and U (instrumental ballads). Mariposa Traicionera y Labios Compartidos son mis favoritos de ellos.

3. :) - One of Maná's best CD's in my opinion. This cd has much more pure rock then some of there other cd's but its still good. Labios Compartidos is by far my favorite song on the cd. Manda una senal, Arrancame el corazon, tengo muchas alas, bendita tu luz, tu me salvaste, combatiente, and relax and are also excellent!

4. Tanto esperar para esto????? - Este disco demuestra una falta de creatividad con Mana, si se compara a discos anteriores como "Donde Jugaran los Ninos", "Cuando los angeles lloran" y "Suenos liquidos" el grupo deja mucho muchisssiiimmooo que deber al publico, especialmente para ver tardado anos para salir con esta decepcion....lo raro es que ahora se han vuelto mas famosos que nunca. Su nuevo estilo de rock segun un poco mas rockero ha dejado de ser escuchable para gente de todas edades como discos anteriores. Y La bateria de Alex no suena tanbien como cuando usaba la otra marca, y tenia un sonido mas natural. A exception se "Somos mar y arena" y otras cuatro canciones por ay es disco no sirvio. Su tema bendita tu luz no se puede comparar en nada con "Vivir sin Aire" "Te llore un Rio" cuando era otro Mana con "El Vampiro" y el otro tecladista. Asi como canciones sencillas como "Como un Perro" "la Selva Negra" "El reloj Cucu" fue lo que le falta a este disco, no entiendo Mana tiene tanto potencial que fue el que los llevo a la fama, Donde Esta????

5. el consierto en american airlines arena en miami!!!!!!! - fue lo maximo en consiertos la vibra el cansancio el sudor los gritos los silvidos el canto a todo pulmon fue de lo mejor y fue inspirador se sentia todos los animos y sus cansiones siempre tienen mensajes que ayudan a que pongamos las manos en la consisncia y no preguntemos donde jugaran los ninos?... tomen ustedes la decision de comprar el disco pero si fuera yo lo compraria ahora mismo......

6. MANA ES LO MEJOR!! - I think Mana is a awesome latin rock band and I think that they have different music and rythem than any other band!! I basicly know every song from them and they are just fun and make you want to dance...!! I went to the concert and its worth every penny because this album is veryy pleasuring and lo mejor de rock en espanol!!

8. Great Album; Great Music! El Mejor musico para todo el mundo! - Although I don't know much Spanish, even though I am Hispanic, nor have I even heard of Mana up until late , This Grupo de Rock en Espanol is great. Mana is a great band, and their music is very deep. If you have never heard of Mana, and you want to expand your playlist to Latin sounds, Listen to Mana's music; it's great.

1. sold out shows - For those who think Mana still sounds the same or those who only rated this work with star, maybe this is not your genre of music. I just saw the live show and they played songs from this album ( if you were there, you know which tracks they are), if they were not good songs, believe me they wouldn't play them live or on the radio. shows sold out, touring with the same album. Maybe, just maybe you need to listen to the album again.

2. Donde esta el Mana de antes - Los ultimos albums despues de suenos liquidos y el unpluged no ha sido el mana de antes. Los primeros albums si eran rock espanol. Los mas recientes no mas han sido puras canciones romanticas y muy despacias. Desde el primer album Falta amor Hasta Unplugged Mana si cambio su musica y era musica verdadera mente rock espanol. Ahora con los mas recients no es musica rockera. Si soy fan de Mana pero El Mana de antes " Me Vale".

3. Drama Luz y Exito - No se porque a la gente no le gusta este album es hermoso lluvia al corazon, amor clandestino,y el verdadero amor perdona son hermosas this is not a disappoinment it's a great album with great songs and i don't think they sound the same but they do sound better with each album!!! i love Mana
2011-10-30
4. Well - I do respect the customers reviews on this page. But I must say I have been a Mana fan since I was years old and I do not grow tired of their music. I do believe this is not Mana's best album of all time, I think that the Album that really surprised everybody was " Cuando Los Angeles Lloran ", because that Album in combination with Suenos Liquidos was ahead of it's time… But, a moment came where really almost every Mana Album was extremely awesome. Unplugged, Amar es Combatir, and Now Drama & Luz are good albums. The best of those I must say it was Amar es Combatir. But sine going to the Concert back in August, I understood that this album is more physiological than experienced based on Fher's part, so I have to give that one to him. One of the most memorable songs for mana will always be Me Vale back in Donde jugaran los ninos and with Contra Todo and Latinoamerica is the new way of saying we don't care what you think, if you don't like me well then let it be !!! Let me live !!! But with El verdadero amor persona everything was new again and reminded me of those No Ha Parado De Llover days !!!! Bottom line… Mana is one of the greatest Latin Rock bands of all time…. Let the good times roll and keep me alive while I'm not gone. I love these guys and I will always be great full to be a part of this latin music history… P.S. Alex, Fher, Sergio, Juan !!! Realmente necesitamos un video de la cancion Latinoamerica, estoy completamente de acuerdo con el significado y realmente convencido q juntos podemos hacer la diferencia. Como que la escucho todas las mananas de camino a mi trabajo .... Hagan un video !!!!!

5. Mana Drama y Luz Album - This Album is not worth the money to buy. Mana could have done better we have all heard it on there past album's. It sounds like their promoters and investors told them what song's to sing and play. This is not mana quality!!!!!!!!! I am a huge fan of Mana, I will still go see them in concert but not support their album.
2011-09-14
6. Exelente - Mana sigue siendo la banda np de todo latinoamerica gustele a quien le guste escuchen el album habla por si solo grax fer por tu bella inspiracion,, dejen de decir q es mas de lo mismo cuando no lo es. Si saven de musica podran ver la evolucion de la banda en este cd, si no sabes nada de musica todos los discos los vas a oir igual como la mayoria de las opiniones aqui,, son unos ignorantes q no saben ni donde tienen el trasero,, como pueden oir iguales por ejemplo EL DRAGON, y la de el tiburon de amar es combatir,, suena estupido o sor Maria con la de OJALA PUDIERA BORRARTE. Son baladas pero muy diferentes no sean burros aprendan de musica serio...

7. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!! VERY BORING!!! - Wow! I was so excited about this CD when I heard it came out but once I listened to the rd song, I was bored. I felt like I was listening to the same song over and over. I am a huge fan of Mana and I have every CD they have record...but this last is a disappointmenrt! It looks like if they just wrote the songs because it was time to release a new CD. They did not put their hearts into these song. They have lost their "MOJO"
Fer and band, don't be afraid of changes, changes are good sometimes. I hope the next one comes with new spirit and more heart.

8. Asociación Anónima (miguel diaz) - Fer me sigue asombrando con su talento para escribir canciones. Su poesía llega altura de otros grandes compositores Mexicanos como Juan Gabriel, José Alfredo Jiménez, Marco Antonio Solís y Joan Sebastián. La primera canción que aprendió a tocar en la guitarra, cuando yo era un estudiante en Berkeley, fue "Huele a Tristeza," del álbum Donde Juraran los Niños, Los Manas me han servido como inspiración musical para componer mi propias canciones desde entonces. Tengo todos los álbumes que Mana ha lanzado. Les recomiendo todos, incluyendo esta última adición a su brillante carrera. Fer continues to amaze me with his song writing genius. His poetry ranks up there with other great Mexican songwriters such a Juan Gabriel, Jose Alfredo Jimenez, Marco Antonio Solis, and Joan Sebastian. The first song I learned to play on guitar, when I was a student at Berkeley, was “Huele a Tristeza” from the album Donde Juraran los Niños. Mana has served as a musical inspiration for my own songwriting ever since. I own every album Mana has released. I highly recommend all of them, including this latest addition to their brilliant career.

9. same thing - años de musica y todavia el mismo sonido...hasta cuando por favor. Y ellos dicen llamarse musicos? Reciclando la misma musica y solo cambiando las letras. Escuchas un CD y los escuchaste todos. Por favor, arriven al nuevo milenium, presenten una nueva propuesta, interesante y un poco mas original. Si no tienen el talento para crear algo diferente, contraten a alguien.....YA BASTA POR FAVOR!!!!!! Despues se quejan de que todas las premiaciones estan vendidas y que es una mafia, quien va a premiar esto, si ya lo hemos escuchado veces. Enough is enough.

10. Otra Musa - Felicidades a Maná por mantenerse a flote con este album donde hacen presencia los elementos de la Tierra, tan propio de su estilo. Aún somos muchos los fieles seguidores a su música y a su causa, sin embargo el mundo cambia y han agotado esa fuerza que encontraron en el mismo lugar por años. Hay que explorar un poco más donde "Sor María" y "El Dragón". Tal vez, ahí hay otra musa.
2011-07-31
11. No el mejor pero me gusta - Este álbum me tomo unos para gustarme...una cosa que no me gusto es como tratan de sacar otro "labios compartidos" con "amor clandestino"; son las mismas canciones aunque admito que clandestino es buena canción. Me gusto el riesgo que tomaron con "el espejo" y "sor Maria", me encanto "vuela libre paloma" que me recuerda de mi madre a quien perdí a los años, "el Dragon" es buenísima y diferente y "Latinoamérica" ya era hora que sacaran una canción que expresara su mensaje de unidad para todos los latinos. "lluvia al corazón" también me toco personalmente por que tenia una persona cercana a mi pasando por un problema grandisimo. Un buen álbum, no su mejor pero vale la pena comprarlo.
2011-07-27
12. PAN CON LO MISMO - DESPUES DE DONDE JUGARÁN LOS NIÑOS? MANÁ NO VOLVIÓ A HACER ABSOLUTAMENTE NADA QUE SE LES AGRADEZCA.... SIEMPRE LO MISMO! MISMA MUSICA, MISMOS TONOS, MISMA IMAGEN (PATÉTICA A SU EDAD) -LO UNICO QUE SE AGRADECE ES QUE YA NO INCLUYEN SUS FOTOS EN LA CARATULA.
NO LO COMPREN NI DE BROMA!!!!

1. LLB...Man can they play - These guys are such a polished group. Worthy instrumentals esp Henry's guitar work, but man that harmony and those sweet vocals. "One More Day" is nothing short of excellent! They remind me of alot of those polished harmonic vocals from groups of the late 's and 's. These guys are the real item!

2. Was Let Down! : ( - I am such a fan of Los Lonely Boys...I've seen them live and I think they are amazing. I didn't even think twice about buying Sacred. I didn't even sample the songs...I just automatically bought the whole album knowing I'd love it....but sadly to say, I was very disappointed. This is not the Los Lonely Boys sound I know and love....I hope they don't keep following the direction that this CD took...cause I was definately let down. The other CDs they made, I listen to over-and-over; not this one. Oh well.
2007-07-20
3. Los Lonely Boys does it again!! - this is an amazing CD.. I bought two copies cause I knew I would be wearing them out.. and I was right.. Been a fan of this group of Garza Brothers for years. and I haven't stopped yet.. The Cd is a pleasure to listen to from start to finish you will not be dispointed.. The Boys will have you laughing and Crying at the same time.. the Guitar solo of Henry so so out this world. and JoJo the ACE OF BASS.. And Ringo the DRUMMER MAN I if I had to pick two songs to be my favorite it would be "Texican Style" and "Outlaws" In Outlaws.. you might pick up on two other voices in the song.. one is Willie Nelson and the other is Papa Garza their Father.. a Must for any CD Library LA ONDA FAMILIA
2007-05-01
4. AWESOME - I have gone to their concerts the past yrs @ the Greek Theatre in L..A. These Brothers and their music are great!! Henry is an awesome guitar player.. Reminds me allot of the way Carlos Santana plays his guitar. They are down to earth guys, very humble and thankful! If you haven't been to their concerts, your missing out... Their a MUST see in person...Buy your tickets early because they sell out fast... They put on a awesome show.. Love'em... Keep the music coming..

5. For Real - These guys are for real. Unlike most "stars" today the trio are MUSICIANS and ARTISTS, in the true sense of the word, if you appreciate the guitar, drums and bass, this is the group for you. Sacred took or listens to grow on me, after listening to the album, its another success where all songs are worth listening to. I also had the chance to see them live. Most people were waiting for the boys to play Heaven. While Heaven is a great song, LLB are much much more than just one song. The lyrics may be non-controversial, but they are uplifting, and have meaning. For those who enjoy music and harmony, get the album. If you want manufactured music stick with the junk you hear on the top stations.

6. Sacred by Los Lonely Boys is a Texican Triumph! - When you cue up Sacred, get ready to visit the intersection where various music forms meet to make Texican. This Crossroads is out in a Texas field and three brothers hang out there a lot. Their first major release was loaded with wonderful stuff, and perhaps this second major release is a year late showing up. “My Way” starts the set, and it is pure LLB, starting with a catchy hook and getting down with the guitar of Henry Garza setting the pace, brother Jo Jo’s rock solid bass sneaking up and pouring a concrete foundation, while other brother Ringo displays his excellent touch on the drums. This is an anthemic declaration of emotional and intellectual independence, couched in the terms of a small Texas town. The addition of horns is authentically both Mexican and Tex-Mex, but they have thrown other reviewers for a loop. I think it serves as an alert that the brothers will stir this pot of chili all the way from top to bottom. Orale is border Spanish and doesn’t translate easily. It’s sort of like Doris Day’s “Que sera” only with the saccharin removed and replaced with chili peppers. “Diamonds” has the potential to be its own sort of chartbuster. This is the third song, and by this point, you’ve been reaquainted with the easy but dead-on harmony of the brothers. Mexican music has always relied on tight one-five harmonies as part of its distinctive flavoring, and this is more influence from the Crossroads. I really, really like “Oye Mamacita,” a bilingual rocker with some blistering guitar work from brother Henry, tight harmony, a wonderful hook, and a tight Latin beat. I am a huge fan of Henry’s wah pedal artistry, and we get a big dose here. “I Never Loved A Woman” is a slow Latin ballad that should fill just about any dance floor. This piece relies very heavily on the organ to give it full color and flavor. It is an even more passionate treatise than the first album’s “Dimé Mi Amour” in part because “Woman” has an uptempo ending. “Roses” starts like a Seventies rocker, but takes its own direction. It would be easy to dismiss this one on first listen, but over time, the combination of lyrical theme and musical accomplishment grows on you. On the other hand, one of the most unique pieces on the album is “Texican Style.” It really is wonderfully Texican, with some Tex-Mex accordion thrown in, and that’s like adding jalapeños to the bean soup. The beat is a nasty shuffle, and Ringo is all over it without being dominating. It is really hard to sit still through this item. Wow! Next comes “One More Day,” which starts with a great guitar flash. The keys are layered beautifully with Henry’s wah pedal work. This piece, more than the rest, reminds me of Santana, though as for that, it is pure Garza. This is a song that also reminds me about the lyrical themes of the sixties and seventies, not romance but about personal change. “Memories” is a snappy Latin rocker, and by this time, you should be used to salsa in your blues and rock. I love melodies that flow against interesting chord structures and this has that property. If you told me “My Loneliness” had been penned by Lennon and McCartney in their early years, I might believe it. The beat is straight up and very infectious. By the bridge, it becomes far more Texican with Henry’s wah pedal spicing it up. I think you should brace yourself for “Outlaws.” Willie Nelson, one of the original founders of the Outlaw genre, makes a cameo in this piece, as does Daddy Garza. The song has that badass marching, cut time, two-step that outlaw songs favored. The chorus features four part harmony and has to be heard to be enjoyed. The horns reappear to make the turnaround memorable. As Willie does his bit, a sly blues harp slides in to help him out. “Home” calls the harp for an encore, and is another flavor from the Crossroads. This is a rocking dance tune and be careful; this one could get stuck in your head and find you loading it into your iPod so you can rock out on the subway. I was glad to find the brothers included a / jazz waltz with rock underpinnings. “Living My Life” encourages either a slow waltz, a two-step, or perhaps a dance of your own concoction. Listen close to Ringo’s drum work on this one; of course Henry’s burning lead work rests on the solid basslines of brother Jo Jo. As a bonus inclusion, the album finishes with an unplugged version of “Diamonds,” which is precious because it proves the guys could walk into a diner and play acoustically for their supper. Jo Jo’s supporting bass work is a master class for aspiring bottom feeders. This kid can play! Well, sandwiched between Henry’s guitar and Ringo’s drums, he’d better get up early and pack a lunch. I’d have to admit I wouldn’t uncheck a single song from my playlist. I like them all, and I think this album will be historically regarded as the proof that Los Lonely Boys are a whole lot more than One Album Wonders, a buzzard that has circled their camp for most of a year. They can compose, arrange, and play, and it’s time for their management to better balance their time use so they can get out a good, solid album each year from now on. Me, I’m a subscriber.

7. Sacred - These guys are simply on fire, even with the scent of corporate sprakling water splashed all over this release. Kudos go to the front man, Henry Garza (and he's good looking too), but his brother Jojo is one of the most intense and talented bass players in the industry, and with drummer brother Ringo, this incredible bottom allows Henry to rise above a guy sounding like he does covers of Stevie Ray songs better than anything to an engaging first rank Texas slinger. Johnny Winter should get credit for starting this whole thing and would destroy Henry on stage, but they definitely are following his trail. The show I'd like to see would be Los Boys, Johnny and Santana. This album gets close to sounding a little like ear candy for the girlfriends, but their talent and vocals make it very listenable. I like it much.
2006-10-19
8. Great Follow Up - I discovered Los Lonely Boys flipping thru channels on the TV and came upon CMT and these Texican dudes laying down a little track called Heaven. Well I am glad I did because this album is even better! They are not country and they are not rock, they are pure Texican and that is good enough for me.
2006-07-28
9. More of the Same (But That's Alright) - Los Lonely Boys have returned with another set of great Texican Latin-flavored blues rock. While not breaking any new ground, they deliver a satisfying record of dependable cuts. Just like your favorite Texas Bar-B-Que joint you hope they never change the recipe.
2006-07-26
10. Enjoyable - Decent followup album - I saw LLB for the first time last summer, as the opening act for The Great One: Santana. With your eyes closed, they played terrific music, with your eyes open they put on one helluva' show! My daughter loved when they fooled around, playing each other's instruments, scooching across the stage. Couldn't wait for their next album and their next East Coast appearance. Dragged my husband to a DIVE: (The Bowery Ballroom) just because it was the closest and earliest date listed on the LLB website. Despite standing up and waiting over two hours, the boys were again terrific and played tunes from the upcoming Sacred. Still, I have to agree with some of the other listeners, this album, while really good, just doesn't have the raw power of their first album. I was shocked that they didn't include "Man to Beat" as one of the tracks, even when I heard it last year (at Santana concert) it had HIT SINGLE written all over it! Those harmonica riffs made the hairs on the back of my neck stand straight up! Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to recommend this CD to everyone within earshot. And I'm looking forward to September, when the Boys and Santana will grace the stage again. ORALE

11. WOW! They are just THAT good! - I have to say, I absolutely love this album! They have such a fun sound, and they cannot be matched. I love they way they combine different types of music! Also, I love the way that their songs can be the 'let's lay back and chill' type, or the 'let's dance" type. Good job!!

12. TAKE OFF THE POP LABEL!!!! - I can't stand to see a Groupe like these guys get a TAG Hiung on them...This is GREAT ROCK AND ROLL ,TEX MEX IS BEST SERVED HOT!!!! Los Lonely Boys are serving it up FIREY HOT .....You will need to cool your ears off!

1. Absolutely Wonderful Music!!! - Jolie Lives-// Honestly, I have no idea when R y G put this album out and it doesn't matter. Their phenomenal music is perfect, rich and timeless! While listening to the album, I thought about Carlos Santana playing with R & G. Though that much Great is probably illegal, if not then, certainly today! Santana you say? Yes, these musicians, their talent and genius, is absolutely the Real Deal! I was fortunate enough to have heard the last track on this album and then find the album here. Thank you iTunes and SZ! The music they create is lush and incredibly sensual.
Listening to it, I'm reminded of sights and sounds while growing up in Spain. I watched couples dance to live music, which is woven through the music on this album. I remain awestruck by the musical phenomena the two extraordinary musicians (R y G) created, as an homage to the musicians they respect, admire and were/are indubitably influenced by.
While in Spain and more recently, spending time in Germany, with many dedicated and seriously devoted Tango, Salsa and Meringue Dancers. (Many of whom moved to Berlin from Brazil and Argentina and earn their living as Professional Tango, Salsa and Meringue Dancers.) I am struck by the continual growth and the passionate commitment, combined with a sincere love that's not only growing the numbers of people who adore the music, but the increasing numbers of passionate people in many Countries, who love Dancing to the Music.
The dance, like the Dancers exemplify the physically demanding expression of the multilingual and faceted layers of the music. The dance commands highly impassioned, dedicated and disciplined athletes to bring gracefully charged electricity to the space where they continue to perfect the personification of the Music through Dance. Heat and humidity filled the mountainous regions which literally seemed to still the air around the small towns. I grew up in many Countries over a few years. After Switzerland, Austria and Germany, the family headed South. Towards Spain, during our travels through Europe. Bill worked for Time/Life and he'd appear and disappear while Connie and my younger brother and sister and I stayed on in whatever town he'd left us living in. It was always an education!
The sun had passed through the sky and was already behind the mountains that surrounded the small little town. We were living twenty kilometers from the tiny town. Mother was screwing the Butcher, actually I have no idea what she was doing, nor what my siblings were doing either. I however was watching the wooden platform in the center of the town. Men with guitars would climb onto wooden raised platforms with small wooden boxes. They'd sit on their boxes and tune their guitars. Their friends brought them drinks and they then would sit on benches outside of the buildings surrounding the open area. As they began to play their guitars, they seemed to disappear into the music their nearly invisible fingers created on their guitars. A woman would appear in a tightly corseted colorful dress. The many layers of ruffles of her long, full skirt would begin to swirl as she began to dance. She'd begin to click her invisible castanets in both her hands as she danced. A man, in tight black pants, highly polished shoes with heels and a lose white shirt and fitted vest would join her.
As they danced, the music would become faster and faster, making the underlying layers of ruffles of the woman's skirt separate. Like the petals of an aromatic flower in bloom.
Hypnotic, the Music, the Dancers, the combined images and sounds pulled my five year old heart and mind into an incredible unraveling sense abandonment. The guitar music encapsulated hundreds of years of history and was played with the energy of huge waves, cresting, then crashing into themselves. Far out in the sea, in dark, deep waters that contained unfathomable mysteries. Sometimes at night, I could see fishermen's boats, because they'd light lanterns and hang them out over the water. I was told that the light attracted fish to their nets. I don't know, but it was very pretty to watch. While the Dancers moved with grace, skill and sensuality, they danced on the crest of huge imploding waves. During their dance, the connection between the truly professional or elite Dancer and the music was so strong that even though they seemed to be dancing in deep waters, they never get wet. When mother would grab my shoulder and physically turn me away from the passionate public display of unforgettable guitar music and the dancers, whose movements made music corporeal, I would blush. I know because she'd ridicule me for the heat I felt, rising up my face. Even with her claws digging deeper into my shoulder, as she'd march me to the lima bean shaped Fiat, I could still hear each cord the guitarist drew from every organ that the gut strings were made from clearly. My body still felt the cadence of the heels and taps on the dancers shoes, as they danced and stomped the surface of the wooden platform I had been just tall enough to rest my elbows on as I'd listened to and watched their magical music and dance. Even as she'd drive us out of town, I could still hear their music play, for quite a while before we got home. Inordinately, I'd be punished as soon as we arrived at our rental home or apartment if Bill was off doing something for Time/Life.
When I listen to this album, I am transported back to these beautiful places and the magical musical moments in other Countries. Though I still don't know how the beautiful dancing women could make their fans appear, suddenly open. With a mere flick of their wrists, their lace fans would open and as innocently and deftly as Southern Belles, the corseted and multi layered ruffled dancers would begin fanning themselves, to the rhythm of the music. They still held their castanets still in the palm of their hands!

2. Incredible and original - Incredible musicianship. Rodrigo is amazing, but Gabriela, on rhythm guitar trumps him and most guitarists. Think for a second: When is the last time you were blown away by any rhythm guitar parts. Mostly it's just strumming, right? Not here. Give this a listen, you will be amazed.

3. Fabulous! - Such an inspiration to us as guitarists. We play a bit more of a Flamenco / Jazz but our music will no doubt be influenced a whole lot by what RyG has created. Love the "grunty" punch they get from the nylon acoustic guitars. We play on the same guitars as RyG amongst others. www.ch.co.za

1. Good cover of Tito Puente’s tune, Oye como Va - Overall great songs and no fillers. As always another great album worthy of purchasing. A good cover of Tito Puente’s original tune, "Oye como Va" that although, too rapish for such a classic, it hits the mark by keeping it alive and passing it for the new generations. Well done for a living legend. I remember me being years old in when my uncle gave me as a gift Santana Double Album Titled Moonflower released in . For his jazz art I recommend Caravanserai is the fourth studio album by Santana released in October .

2. Carlos Santana - Dear Carlos Santana,look I've been a huge fan of yours ever since I was now I am all your early work is amazing.You brought a whole new sound to music.Ive been a true fan of yours I love and have all your albums up until"Supernatural"I know you made Grammys out of that album and you still think if you make an album like that you'll get more recognition...We'll it's not right I have to say this album is not you at all.You've lost yourself this "Pop"work doesn't suit you...I heard this would be your last album but to me your real last album was "Shape Shifter"you can't give your career this ending of an album it's not right all these songs are songs for the New generation.Your trying to gain the attention of the newer younger people when you should be really just do this out of your own true work.Maybe you love this album and I'm not saying its horrible but your missing the big picture your giving the last album it's supposed to be a "Santana"album not a "Santana Featuring other artist"I won't consider this an album of yours I can't your last true album to me would be "Shape Shifter".

3. Rockin like it's - How many times is Santana going to try to regurgitate the same tired formula of Supernatural? One has to wonder who is Santana trying to pander to when he has Pitbull ruining one of his biggest and most revered hits ("Oye "). It's one thing to appeal to a younger audience, it is something completely different to kill your credibility point blank by selling out and having a bunch of disposable pop artists in your record. Not to mention that % of this is not even original material, but completely unnecessary covers of songs that were not that great to begin with. I know Santana is a great musician, and I love his old recordings, and Supernatural had some great gems in it, but this is just a blatant attempt to cash in on the flavor of the month. Carlos, take some time off, and reconnect with you jazz/blues roots. Believe me, by doing this you are not gaining any new fans, and you are losing the ones you have. This sir, is complete garbage!

4. Another Pop Album from Santana? - I thought the bloom came off this rose after his second attempt at crossing over, Shaman, failed to wow audiences. But two more times Carlos has gone to the well to try to capture that Supernatural magic. But it just ain't happening. This album has a couple of good songs, mainly the first two, but true Santana fans don't want to hear this kind of album. It runs counter to everything we loved about Santana in the first place. And the problem with these poppy Santana albums is, too much Santana. If you're going to let guest artists sing on your album, stop playing every two seconds over them. But please, do us a favor and stop with these crossover albums. Enough already.

5. Dear Mr. Santana - Dear Mr. Santana. I’m sure you worked hard on this album. I respect you. But, listen up: I know and love all your music all the way back from your very first album up until Supernatural. You have produced a stunning amount of excellent music and influenced countless people along the way. I am a musician too. I am one of your biggest fans and have been to many of your concerts and met you several times. But this album is just make-believe Santana. Your beautiful new cover art is a faux-expression of the truly innovative artist you once were. The cover is misleading. I feel like we have lost you into comfort and complacency. This music is not fresh and bright any more. It is cool, air-conditioned blandness that has just a little bit of your fire mixed in. Hey, fine. Keep on doing what you want, but for the rest of us who know who you really are, and what you are truly capable of: come on, knock our socks off. Cut an album that’s outside of the box. Collaborate with unknown jazz and rock artists. Make some rough-edged music for a change. I’m sorry to say this new album sounds old immediately. I expect much greater things of you sir.

6. GOOD MUSIC BUT.... - This is a good CD. But its not the..ole school burin Carlos Santana. There is none of that on this CD. Rather, this is more Latino. Nothing wrong with that. I just think Carlos is at his best when he's rockin and Jazzin. blazin with his guitars with the percussion, bass and organ behind him. Thats the real Carlos. The songs here are good. Just not my style completely.
2014-05-12
7. Boring. Put a band back together and pick a singer. - He's still doing the whole - "different singer for each song, and then I play as often as possible through every song, and stamp my name on it because I AM SANTANA!" Long gone are the days when "Santana" was a good, cohesive band, with a great singer, and the lack of Chester Thompson cripples Santana.
2014-05-12
8. Different And Very Enjoyable - Sure, Carlos is taking a different approach on this album. That’s a good thing. Carlos is not afraid to try new things, and frankly he’s established enough commercially where he can afford to do this. Some people should get over the fact that this album isn’t Amigos or Moonflower. He’s done that already and it’s old hat. Who’s wants to do the same thing today that they’ve already done years ago? Carlos is always evolving, but at least he plays the old stuff at his concerts!
2014-05-10
9. Still a loyal fan,but ! - I just finished listening to the first five released songs of the new Santana album (Corazon) and I enjoyed Indy (feat. Miguel) the most and anything Carlos does I enjoy but it's not what my heart and soul is crying out for like when I put on an album like SANTANA,ABRAXAS,MOONFLOWER
Or Amigos.Somewhere along the way Carlos started making these Theme albums featuring other singers and stopped being the band SANTANA .Carlos your true fans from back in the day need to hear you play what we heard when we first saw you at Woodstock,we need Santana music that makes your heart and soul soar to the heavens. We love you brother .

10. Most likely disappointing - I never really liked this side of Santana. I did like Smooth and a few others, but they rarely work that well and I dislike much of his pop stuff with the answering guitar lines. If you want real Santana where he actually plays go listen to Moonflower or something. Or give me something like his last album and I'd really embrace it.

1. Beautiful - This is a beautiful MTV Unplugged, and happens to be my favorite. Maná performs with such a soft sound, enhancing the lyrics and the powerful messages behind them. Sergio Vallin's guitar work throughout the set is an impressive display of elegant and calming classical sound. The strings haunt many of the tracks enriching and enhancing in an enchanting way. With the many successful albums that have followed producing number one hits, we hope to see a new MTV Unplugged from Maná soon.
2010-09-02
2. Disregard the main review - The main review completely misses the point as far as Mana goes. I speak both languages very well & can understand them too. Seems to me the reviewer couldn't truely capture the essence of what Mana's music is all about. Their story telling through melody and song is compelling and thought provoking such as the story of love lost along with the madness it brings in El Muelle de San Blas or the helplessness one feels when the love that is felt for some is too great for it to be contained. I will say this from personal experience....Mana music is revolutionary within the latin world, there's NOTHING else out there like it. Even if you don't speak the language it'll draw you in begging for more. It's Brilliant. Not to mention great road trip music to sing along with good friends.

1. This is just an enjoyable album - As a fan of Thievery Corporation, as well as several very talented Latin acts including Cafe Tacuba, Julieta Venegas, Kinky, Austin TV, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, etc. this album was recommended by iTunes. I find it quite enjoyable, just laid back, relaxing, great music for chilling out, for a dinner party, etc. Frederico is a talented guitarist and one can hear the Argentine style coming through, laid on top of enjoyable electronic beats with a 'lounge' feel. I think this album shows a heavy influence of Thievery Corporation, who produced the album. Really every song is enjoyable and a few stand out as very accomplished songs, La Esquina, Maria Jose, and Tan Dificil. Enjoy...

2. very good! - this album is absolutely beautiful - the melodies and guitar are so soothing and haunting and comforting. even though i don't speak spanish, i feel as though i understand what each song is about, just through the music. i recommend it! i saw this was on the best of list, even though i already have it - just wanted to leave a review because it's so good!
2008-01-11
3. Thank you Federico!! - I had the chance to meet Federico days after this cd was release in Los Angeles. We chatted at the AC Supperclub where he did a DJ session. His music is not just great, his personality and friendliness is incredible. Thank you for making incredible music and being such a nice guy too.....
2007-09-26
4. A Delightful Second Offering - Argentine musician Federico Aubele presents a dainty yet luscious second offering. Parallel to his "Gran Hotel Buenos Aires sound," "Panamericana" touches upon the very same elements that highlighted Aubele's strengths as we know them. His signature lazy but sultry, fashionably poignant flavors return, but this time less studio-refined, paving the way for a gradual acoustic sound. The bloom of Natalia Clavier's voice (along with other Latin songbirds) and lyrics express an intimacy not found in the album's predecessor, granting "Panamericana" Aubele's ticket to truly evolving as an artist. Points of interest are the unexpectedly effervescent "La Orilla" and the pleasing structure of instrument and voice in "Maria Jose."

1. Increible - Para tarea en mi clase de espanol, mi profesor dijo que mi clase necesita traducir las palabras de una canta en espanol. El recomendo de musica ligera. Compro la canta y es maraviollosa. Todos, partes son fantastico, el cantando, la guitarra, el contrabajo, y los tambores. Despues de escuchar de musica ligera yo compre todo las cantas y no estoy desilusionado. Es mi musica favorita ahora y no soy latino.

1. A Nice Reunion Compilation. - I know those of us who love Soda already have these songs and then some, but this is custom-made for the crowd who's just getting into Soda Stereo; taking in all the reunion hype and introducing themselves to the music. After all, it's called "Me Veras Volver." It was made strictly to celebrate the reunion. It's a good starter, especially if you want to hear the evolution of Soda in the beginning (Sobredosis de TV) and then Soda toward the end, (Ella Uso Mi Cabeza...). I wish it had "Hombre Al Agua," though. If you're a young, latin american kid who's just getting into the spanish rock (like I was once upon a time), then start with these tunes to get a feel for the greatest thing you'll possibly ever hear in your life, english or spanish: "Nada Personal," "Sobredosis de TV," "Profugos," "Corazon Delator," "En La Ciudad de la Furia," "Ella Uso Mi Cabeza.." "En Remolinos" and of course, the crowd favorite "De Musica Ligera." Then, go out and buy everything you can find by this band! Expand your ears and thank yourself. Gracias totales, Soda!
2007-12-13
2. Not Again! - To begin with let me say that I'm a big Soda fan, but after studio albums and about different compilations, nothing new is bein offered here. % of all the songs here, have shown up in all the compilations. Yeah the songs are remastered, but one will think that after albums, different songs could be offered how about a b side album with a couple of unreleased tracks, or even yet some demos.
2007-09-08
3. Solo para ir preparandose mentalmente - Creo que este CD sirve para los que no conocen mucho a SODA, ya que por los demas todos tenemos estos temas. Sirve para ir calentando los motores para los shows venideros. Recomiendo que traten de conseguir todo de SODA igual. Ojala que siguen juntos despues y que saquen nueva musica.

1. Freaking love this album!!!! - I'll definitely add Ximena's debut to my list of top best albums I've ever heard! First of all, she's a wonderful songwriter and sings with such emotion and passion. Secondly, this album is a unique blend of jazz, electro pop, and Latin beats all rolled in one disc. Every song on the album is my favorite, but if I had to reccommend a few songs they would definitely be: . Normal
. Cambio de Piel
. Pocas Palabras
. Sintiendo Rara Do not hesitate to purchase this album; it is well worth it! Also, I wouldn't really compare Ximena's music with anyone else in the English market as I feel she doesn't compare. Ximena has a very unique sound and flair about her as both a performer and a person. However, if you are familar with Mexican singer/songwriter Natalia LaFourcade's music (released the album Hu, Hu, Hu), you will love this as both women are friends and share similar musical styles.
2011-07-09
2. Ximena,la mejor cantante latina del momento - I listened to Ximenas music,right after watching the Movies, NInas Mal & Amar te duele.. ever since i've been hooked on her music. I like it more because she makes most of her music,not only she sings great but her lyrics are deep too.Favorites are;Gris,Mediocre,Te estas sintiendo rara, and Puedo, No vuelvo mas..She has also recorded albums W/ Omar Rodriguez Lopez,the CD solar gambling is the Shiznit. she will definitely stay around for a while.

3. Mona - Esta gota que dio el talento de sus padres pronto sera tormenta. Tuvo su momento para ser de plastico pero decidio renunciar a la certeza para lograr este disco. No te conozco, no te conocere pero mujeres como tu necesita la musica, necesita la juventud y necesita Mexico. Que tu voz la bendiga el cielo y la gratifique el que necesita escucharte. P.D. No me gusto la portada

4. Love it Love it LOOOVE IT!!! And Worth buying! - I'm writing this review in English so you understand.. I love this Album is the best that I've purchased here in iTunes and I give it shiny stars because it deserves it! My favorite song is La Tina wow!! Great voice, shes very talented! And I love the cover of her album!! stars!!!!
2009-02-18
5. one of the best - This CD reminds me of Julieta Venegas' "Bueninvento" but without the dark tone. Its jazzy, unique, keeps you engaged with the great bass lines, and shows why the women in Latin Alternative are so talented. She's also the less extreme version of Natalia Lafourcade without the excessive shouting or bossa nova. My favorites are "Mediocre" "No Vuelvo Mas" and "Sintiendo Rara" with their cathartic messages. Unlike "Bueninvento" I hope "Mediocre" received the attention it greatly deserves. A must for any pop/Latin Alternative/jazz fan.
2008-10-25
6. An Unexpeced Pleasure - This isnt my normal preferred genre of music, and i dont even speak spanish all that well; but when you hear something this unique, this creative and original, it crosses all boundries. I am impressed and surprised, so i got the whole album and I am not disapointed. I hope she does well and continues to do so. This talent is rare, i recommend it to all.

1. Los Lobos rocks and rules - I don't understand a word they're singing, but I can surely FEEL it! When this first came out, I would put this album on, have my coffee, and get ready for work. I didn't have a better motivator than Los Lobos. I love this album! I am going to buy this and add it to my iPod...it will be perfect for my walks. I love you guys and the sweet way your music makes me feel!

1. Inspire your children to be a Rock Star! - I was a child when I listened to this album for the first time. I listen to it now and it feels like back then. The first impression I had was "I want to play the drums like that crazy guy." A few years later I was playing with a small band in high school and the story started right there. I have been playing the drums ever since. Alex inspired me to play with passion, always giving my best at the stage, and delivering with energy every beat. Fher taught me not to be scared of the crowd but to embrace them with love. Juan showed me discipline and attitude at the stage. And the band as a whole back then showed me passion and love to the music that comes from the heart at a point that today I play drums and sing with enormous passion. Thank you Maná.

1. you want to listen to the whole album - Like Ana Tijoux for her lyrics, her passion, and her style. Vengo puts all of that front and center. The production was so well done. I keep finding a new favorite from this album every time I listen to it. And yes, the whole album is good, not just the top tracks.
2015-11-13
2. Ana es una poeta fenomenal - Ella me inspira y me da fuerza cada vez que la escucho... de verdad ella es una poeta quien dice la verdad sin miedo. Las canciones protesta contra injusticia y afirmar su dignidad y la dignidad de todos humanos. Este es un álbum de creer en algo mejor, en un mundo más libre (libre de la codicia, capitalismo, y colonialismo.) Me encanta, y estoy tan feliz de haber encontrado su musica. Her music is so important to me,
2015-09-06
3. This is music written with intelligence - This isn't your typical pointless "I'm getting drunk" type of music, this is music with a cause and lovely indigenous/ Latin American rhythms as an immigrant I strongly identify with her music and the awareness she has for social justice and the current issues that are going on around us.
Rock on Anita!! Hasta la Victoria Siempre!!

4. Album buenisima! - Me encanta esa album. Habia oido algunas canciones en radio y me di cuenta del nombre del artista. Muy bella, poetica y inteligente la lenguaje y bien organico la musica. Im not a huge fan of hip hip/rap or the latin side of this genre but this album is a treasure to me. Full of soul, unpretentious and full of interesting sounds and language play. Muchisimas gracias Ana.

1. Son los mejores - Los Caifanes son unos de los mejores grupos de rock alternativo latino que he escuchado. Me encantan los mensajes que traen sus canciones, sinceramente recomiendo para todas las edades, incluso para adolecentes. Las letras son sanas dignas de ser escuchadas. Adoro el ritmo de La negra Tomasa. Wauuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Apesar que ya es un poco antigua, cada ves que la escucho me dan ganas de bailar. Con ese ritmo contagioso alegre y melancolico a la vez..

2. beautiful - This is an amazing complilation of great songs from a great artist.. this two bands have defined Mexican Rock (and latin in general) They have set a timeless standard, this is exactly why this songs are still current. Looking for a "best of" ?? this is it, but double whammy best of both bands from one genius.

2. Authentic Colombian Cumbia Smooth Electronica SophistiCumbia! - Like a smoky night en la playa around a techno-bonfire...Where's Vol. ? If you like chill and electronica, and dig swinging caribbean rhythms, this is for you. Even the slight touches of hip-hop (in Huepajé) work. Aterciopelados probably started this way back on Caribe Atómico, but this is far more focused in it's purpose to take you on a laid-back trip using authentic colombian cumbia (not the mexican selena variety!). Use of electronica is tasteful and doesn't overwhelm the traditional sounds, but complements them.

1. Hmm not feeling it - Mixed feelings on the album. lluvia al corazon is the best song in this album and maybe amor clandestino as a distant second. definitely different from other albums in the past. I don't think they're finished like other people are saying. they just need to get back to making songs in past albums that made them to what they are today. give them a pass on this one but if they come out with another album in the future that will dictate whether or not they listened to me as well as their fans..
2011-04-22
2. DyL is one of the best albums yet. - I've been a mana fan since sombreros verdes and I have to say that this album is my nd most favorite following donde jugaran los niños. I wouldn't be surprised if this album goes platinum really soon. Muy muy buen trabajo maná, sigan asiendo música a su manera y que se ballan a la %?!% los que los critican.
2011-04-21
3. It's good!! - I have to say the album gets better towards the end with 'latinoamerica' (which sounds a lot like 'comabatiente' ,to me). I really loved 'el verdadero amor perdona', Fher is one of the best spanish lyricst and this song proves he still has it. I think the guys took too long of a hiatus beween albums and that's why some fans are not happy with this album. I think they expected more rock songs but this is still a good album. They are worth the $$$ I can't wait for Mana to go on tour.
2011-04-19
4. I'm looking forward to the concert. - I'm one of Mana's biggest fans. Love them. This last album has potential to sound great in concert. Fer man, what were you thinking? Let's get with the times. This was an opportunity to blow it out of the water and you did it, but only half way. My heart is broken a little tinny bit. Had to get that out of my chest. Love you Mana always! see you at the concert!
2011-04-14
5. Excellent! - This is an excellent album! almost equally valuable in musicological terms to "Sueños Liquidos" and those that preceded this one. I will not be surprised if this album stars to receive positive criticism from professionals in the art.
I must say though that some songs might be there just to fill up the album, but overall you can find around good songs out of .

6. exelente - Es una produccion exelente los temas estan increiblemente maravillosos,tengo mi estudio de grabacion y se de lo que estoy hablando musical mente no se tiene que discutir esto es un album de primera clase estoy seguro que la inversion que hice en este disco esta % legitimisada ahora esperar la gira por USA que sera todo un exito con este disco! En lo personal mi cancion favorita es la N. gracias MANA por darnos esta produccion...

7. Maná does it again. - I'll be honest. When I first heard the single I really was not that happy with it but as time passed I caught myself humming and then singing the song. When I heard the whole album I was impressed by the songs. I love Maná enough to tolerate through some of the songs but overall, I was pretty content with this album. I can't wait to go see them live again.
2011-04-13
8. First Thought... Its ok... - The album its not their best its just ok. Its my first time previewing the songs. My perspective might change once I listen to them again. Because thats what happened with their single when it came out. Also some songs are too slow for my taste but thats just me. But it might take time getting used to some songs as it was the case (for me) with their last studio album (Amar es combatir).

9. Mana la banda de rock latina mas importante de todos los tiempos!!!! - Mana el mejor grupo latinoamerica en las historia:) le pese a quien le pese.... Casi años y siguen como en el primer dia, y si piensan que su ritmo es monotono pues deberian de preguntarse que escuchan?.Oh como han sobrevivio el ir y venir del tiempo, si claro en gustos se rompen generos, pero millones de fans alrededor del mundo que coinciden conmigo quizas podrian cambiar un poco su forma de pensar. Que hace a Mana especial?, quizas es el poder viajar por cada pais de habla hispana y saber que hay una palabra universal que significa tanto para un Mexicano o un Argetino o un Español y que asi como somos de diferentes razas, de diferentes paises todos tenemos algo en comun " un mismo corazon", o quizas que compartimos tanto aun si saber nada del otro, quizas el poder llenar sus conciertos tan rapido como en un par de horas, tener fechas extendidas por demanda popular o quizas por compartir en el escenario con grandes celebridades de renombre o algunas leyendas vivientes entre ellas Santana, Zucchero, el TRI, Pablo Milanes entre muchoso otros. Sus letras son poemas al amor y al desamor, son cantos de lo mas profundo del corazon y tragos amargos que quizas no podemos sacar con palabras mas no asi con musica. Mana es para sus fans lo que la brisa en una manana, y para millones de fan alrededor del mundo las espera podria ser eterna, pero sin duda la espera trae consigo sus frutos...... Mana es el role model para todos aquellos artistas o soñadores que comienzan, porque en su momento ellos tambien tocaron mucha puertas, y asi como muchos soñadores algun dia se veian en escenarios llenos de gente ellos tambien alenaban esa sensacion, ese sentimiento. Ellos son el vivo ejemplo de que seguir tus ideales y sobre todo creer en ti mismo te puede llevar a donde quieras. Y aun entre tanta fama siguen siendo humildes y sencillos como el primer dia en que llenaron uno de sus conciertos. Y aun hoy, me atrevo a decir que aun siguen sintiendo ese mariposeo en el estomago al escuchar a miles de fans coreando sus letras, o al mirarlos estar de pie por horas sin mostrar signos de cansancio, y es que como flojear ante la emocion de sentir la energia que solo muy pocas canciones te hacen sentir?, me refiero a la energia que emana no solo se un fan sino de una persona que siente su musica, que se envuelve en ella que se identifica con sus maravillosas letras y su contagioso ritmo. Las letras, el ritmo, la musica, todo junto crean un increible todo, que por un momento hace perderte en esas memorias que esuchaste en tu pasado y que de alguna forma se quedaron grabadas en sus canciones y al escuchar esa cancion te hacen vivir es momento con sus detalles y te transportan a ese espacio sin necesidad de mencionarte nada. Para mi Mana es un gran orgullo, un gran proesa al idealimos y superacion personal, estoy feliz de decir que soy fan de Mana y sobre todo estoy feliz de poder haber nacido en la epoca donde ellos comenzaron de la nada y ahora lo tienen todo y siguen siendo los mismos que comenzaron hace mucho llenos de ideales y sueños y que mejor que ellos para poder mostrarnos que la identidad y creer en tus ideales te pueden llevar a donde quieras. Gracias Fher,Alex, Sergio y Juan por su inspiracion su trabajo y todo lo que nos han regalado a todos sus fans y seguidores por siempre. Jacobo munguia .

1. Disappointing - I adore Jarabe de Palo, but I feel like they really ran out of creative juices on this one. A lot of the songs have trite lyrics and mediocre tunes (Invisible, A Tu Lado). This album has tracks but it seems a lot shorter, just because so many of the songs sound like something you've heard before, if you've listened to Jarabe de Palo's previous work. Also, I feel that in the composition/format of the songs, they keep using the same tricks, such as alternation of the title with lists (like in Bonito, Yin Yan and in this album, Ole and Estamos Prohibidos).

2. They're back! - If you were dissapointed since the masterpiece album "La Flaca", this is the album you were expecting from them. Jarabe de Palo has it going again ... This is a refreshing album. I recommend buying the entire album but if you're looking for just some songs I recommend Ole, Adelantando, and Me Gusta Como Eres.

3. Otro Disco Maravilloso - I've used Jarabe de Palo now for about a year and a half to help compliment my Spanish class; it's worked amazingly. "Adelantando" is another great album from Pau Donés and the rest of Jarabe de Palo. It is a very groundbreaking album for them in that it shows magnificent range in the type of music produced: the music is both slow and fast, heavy and light. As always, the lyrics are great (especially for someone studying Spanish such as I). Especially good: Ole, Dejame Vivir, Adelantando, and Me Gusta Como Eres.

4. Simply Superb! - This album is one of the best works from Jarabe de Palo yet! Jarabe de Palo shows how diverse their sound can be by ranging from a fast paced song like No Escondas Tu Corazon to a mellow duet with La Mari from Chambao in Dejame Vivir, which was a very pleasant surprise. Jarabe De Palo keeps innovating their sound and impressing me every time they release a new album. Adelantando is the perfect name for this album because Jarabe de Palo will only keep advancing in their career if they keep putting out more works like this. You will not regret adding Adelantando to your music library.

5. Magnifico! Otra Joya de Pau - This album is great. I bought it from Spain imported because jarabe is my favorite band. The stand-out songs I think are the single "olé", the duet with Mari de Chambao "Dejame Vivir" and the italian version of "me gustas como eres." Jarabe de Palo always put our quality albums with great songs and this one is no exception! MUST BUY!

6. increible! - he estado esperando mas de un mes a que vendieran este disco en el Itunes de EEUU. Incluso trate de comprarlo por medio del Itunes Espanol pero no me dejo. Valga recalcar que este disco es absolutamente increible... causa de mi feroz anticipacion. Jarabe de Palo son unos maestros y lo mejor es la versatilidad de su musica!!! Si no lo compran se esten perdiendo de mucho, y ganando nada!

1. El Albun d' Inisiacion - Considero q' caifanes se introdujo con la magnifica Negra Tomasa solo para llamar la atencion, pero CAIFANES no te vende un CD: Caifanes te quiere llevar a un viaje muy dentro de tu ALMA para q' recuerdes mas alla d' tu memoria terrenal para q' recuerdes a tus Antiguos Dioses Ocultos. "En verdad os dijo hay quien tiene oidos y no escucha, ojos y no ve, mente y no entiende"

2. The Best time in my life - a little to write but too much to say about this album. I was living in the border of the US at this time and I remember having so much fun with friends and we always enjoyed playing Caifanes. This CD brings so much wonderful memories in my life and I think the were the best Latin Rock. so all I can say. Viva Mexico Cnes!
2009-03-24
3. The Best Latin Rock Band EVER!!! - If you're just getting into Latin Rock--THIS is the band where you need to start. I recommend all of the albums of the original CAIFANES, and it's latter incarnation JAGUARES. The music is spiritual and transcending. Their concerts are often compared to ritual ceremonies, and I would have to agree. I was hooked after I saw them live in concert, in which they sounded just as fantastic. Lead singer Saul Hernandez is a God on stage, and his metaphorical lyrics are poetic. Combined with the powerhouse musicians that accompany him the music is simply hypnotic. It is true that before the show is over, the entire audience is fused into one massive living, breathing, rock and roll loving entity--thus why this band is still rocking fans after years.
2008-10-12
4. One of the best! - I am a Caifanes lovers since i was like years old now I am and the music still make my heart pound songs like Viento, Perdi mi ojo de venado, matenme porque me muero are really deep... Same with songs from other albums like Quisiera ser alcohol, Metamorfeame are beautiful in music the lyrics are poetry.
2008-02-27
5. el comienzo - aquicomenso el despegue de una de las bandas rockeras mas influentes en el rock en espanol si eres un rockero de corazon este es uno de los albunes que deves tener todas las canciones son clasicos de los 's matenme porque me muero sigue siendo una de las mas populares de la banda enl cover la negra tomasa con esa peculiar convinacion de rock y musica tropical fue lo que iso a esta banda lo que es ahora cuentame tu vida es para mi una de las mejores canciones de el albun
2007-09-18
6. Aqui comienza la historia - Que mas puedo decir. Esta collecion de canciones abre la puerte a un mundo lleno de soledad y gran tristeza que solo Saul pudo crear. Pero no todo el album es triste. Estas canciones tambien hablan de mi juventud y mi alma que por siempre me hacen reir y gritar en gran felicidad.

1. Mexico's Nirvana? - Never thought of it that way, but I actually agree. Especially this album. I highly recommend listening to EL ANIMAL. That song, as short as it is (about three minutes...) it is powerful and does remind me of Nirvana. Nevertheless, as any Caifanes/Jaguares fan like me would tell you, one of the awesome things about this band is that they never lose their identity. They are Mexican rockers. They do not try to be American rockers. They do not "explore" Latin music to the point of losing their "rockness" like Mana and other "Rock en espanol" bands do. Caifanes/Jaguares is the one and only true/good Rock en espanol band with an identity of their own, period.

2. The Supreme Gods of Latin Rock! - If you're just getting into Latin Rock--THIS is the band where you need to start. I recommend all of the albums of the original CAIFANES, and it's latter incarnation JAGUARES. The music is spiritual and transcending. Their concerts are often compared to ritual ceremonies, and I would have to agree. I was hooked after I saw them live in concert, in which they sounded just as fantastic. Lead singer Saul Hernandez is a God on stage, and his metaphorical lyrics are poetic. Combined with the powerhouse musicians that accompany him the music is simply hypnotic. It is true that before the show is over, the entire audience is fused into one massive living, breathing, rock and roll loving entity--thus why this band is still rocking fans after years. Songs such as "Aqui No Es Asi" define the mythologically inspired lyrical style and the Latin influnence of this band.
2008-10-12
3. One of THE BEST albums ever recorded in Spanish - By far Caifanes' BEST work and the composition of the entire album in every aspect is evidence enough! From track till the end, this album reminds one of early 's rock albums that knew how to satisfy auraly. Lo mas chin-gon de chin-gon. (This album is in my top of all time)
2007-03-21
4. Seattleluco, please stop commenting. - Este disco es de lo mejor que puede existir. Todos sabemos que Caifanes no es nada como Nirvana y que Nirvana a lado de los Caifanes es, Nada. Mejor dicho, estos dos no se comparan. gracias a Caifanes por existir. If you want to listen to a five star cd, listen to this.

1. Con todo! - Excelente disco! Varias canciones me recordaron al disco de "Al taller del Maestro"..en las letras habla de Dios pero de una forma muy simbolica, quizas Si fuera mas especifico al momento de mencionar a Dios mas directo en las letras seria mucho mejor. Excelente trabajo Alex Dios te bendiga!
2012-09-12
2. It's hard to pick a favorite song!!! - All the songs are great! I'm really impressed with the quality of the album. Musically wise it is sensational, Lyrically wise you can tell it comes from the heart, production wise you can tell kiko did a terrific job! Each CD that Alex puts out gets better and better. I have listened to the whole album about times already! A couple songs made me tear up a bit, this album is just awesome! I'm sure it will get to the heart of many ppl and get ppl closer to God. May God keep blessing Alex and his team:)

4. Un gran trabajo de Alex Campos y Kiko Cibrián - Más allá de la producción en general, que es de la más alta calidad.. Más allá de la composición de Alex Campos, que cada álbum crece mucho como autor.. Más allá del trabajo de Kiko Cibrián, que se luce como productor del proyecto.. Más allá de todas estas cosas, a mí me impacta el propósito y corazón de este proyecto, que sin duda servirá para mantener a flote a algunos que están por hundirse alejados de Dios y les brindará las fuerzas suficientes para regresar hasta la orilla. Gracias Alex por este gran trabajo!!

1. Maná de Nuevo - Hay algunos temas en la trayectoria de Maná que tienen semejanza. Pero debemos admitir que este album es el MEJOR que Maná ha grabado. Han crecido musicalmente y es lo que la gente en especial sus fans buscamos. Los arreglos sinfonicos (El Espejo, Sor Maria, El Dragon) estan excelentes! Los arreglos de hard rock (El Dragon, El Espejo) estan perrones! Las letras de animo (No te Rindas, Latinoamerica) son influyentes! No se la piensen doble! Compren el disco porque vale mucho la pena!!
2012-06-16
2. pan con lo mismo - Maná tiene años haciendo EXACTAMENTE la misma música... por que no se arriesgan tantititito... cada disco es una copia exacta del anterior... La única canción rescatable de este cd es amor clandestino... el resto.. la misma de cada disco... ahh y su imagen ya resulta PATETICA... Fer ya esta cincuenton... se ve terrible con ese pelo!
2011-11-30
3. blah blah blah que sigan hablando los envidiososo - este album esta increible y no por prince Royce la verdad compre la cancion del verdadero amor perdona solamente con Mana aunque en bachata no se escucha nada mal...ademas lluvia al corazon y amor clandestino son realmente hermosas canciones asi que si van a hablar mal de Mana mejor vayansen ademas los verdaderos fans de Mana siempre nos encnatara su musica!!!!Viva el rock y Mana!!!!!

1. Masters of Latin American Music - Here Cafe Tacvba displays their musical genious in which they insightfully combine the traditional mexican and latin american sounds and their contemporary interpretations of such. This album is great even if you do not understand english, the music is very inventive and you wont get enough. Great album, a must buy..
2009-01-02
2. The Best example of Cafe Tacuba's greatness - I saw this back in the good MTV Latino days... It was awesome... This is by far the best representative of What Latin Rock is at its most innovative point. It's such a mixture of the Global Culture without letting the Rock essentials and their own culture essentials. This unplugged is simply AMAZING. A must have for Real Good Music Lovers. And for all those born american latinos in US. If you are looking for real Pop Music from Latino America. This is such a good reference.

1. Least Noteworthy!!! are you kidding?? - Who ever wrote this review has no idea of how influential and popular this album was to Latinos all over the world, i first heard Gitana while on patrol in germany in and i was hooked with Mana i could not get enough, this album was a shared companion for us latinos serving overseas and now many years later is on my ipod this is a great..no a must have addition to any Mana collection
2012-11-03
2. La gente no sabe! - Maná nunca ha hecho covers en español de nadie... Este es uno de sus mejores albumes, dado a que los lanzo a la popularidad.. "Rayando El Sol" no tiene NADA que ver con "Every Breath You Take".. La instrumentacion es simliar pero no hay señales de traducción ni de re-composicion de este tema. Es tema original!!!!!
Y para los que escriben negatividades de Maná----NO SEAN ODIOSOS! SI NO LES GUSTA, NO COMENTEN!
2012-06-16
3. Not classic but still important - This is not a classic cd, it is important in Mana's career though. Latin rock/pop has always been mellower than english rock but it still has a couple of all time classics that are in the top of all of their songs including Rayando El Sol (my personal fav) La Puerta Azul is also very good and so is Falta Amor. Listen to it, enjoy it but dont expect it to be like the new Mana.
2009-09-16
4. Mana is still cool - This is not mana's best album, but it is still cool. Rayando el Sol es un cancion muy bueno. They definitely improve with donde jugaron los ninos? . But it is not fair to say its not a"noteworthy" album. mana is still an amazing band and this album did get them started, and got them recognized.
2007-02-23
5. Put them on the map - This CD is by far not a classic, though it did put them on the map. As Rayando el Sol and Every Breath You Take being the same....ummmm...sorry dude...can't agree with you. I will however tell you that many of the great Spanish Rock genre's classics DO have American bands as influences....but in the music world, doesn't everyone have an influence? With early Caifanes and Fobia there's a definitive Cure influence. So what if Police had an influence with Mana? Anyway.... Good CD whose roots are still evident in Mana's repertoire.
2006-08-15
6. Mana Is The Best Spanish Rock Group Ever! - First Of All, Mon_Cho Is A Moron Because The Song He Is Talking About Has Nothing To Do With "Rayando El Sol" Either That Or He Doesnt KNow Spanish....Idiot! Mana Are The Best And They Proven To Everyone that THey Are tHe Best. Long Live Mana! Down WIth Mon_Cho, The Stupid Review Guy....Idiot.
2006-07-18
7. Itunes is wrong! - To say this is not a noteworthy CD is a sin! Falta Amor & Rayando el Sol are some Manas greatest hits! WAY MORE timeless then their newest CD. I've heard entire stadiums singing along to these songs. This is one of the greatest debut albums ever. A MUST HAVE in any Mana fans collection!!!

1. Summer is here, time to revisit - I probably had 'Paradise' as a free download for over a year, and only checked it out a few months ago... ugh! Missed Summer of for listening to this album, what was I thinking?! I've just purchased the whole album, but have listened to Paradise many times. Ana Laan's voice, and the backing vocals, mixed with their unique sound helps my mind let go and visualize lazy, relaxed, stress free tropical days.
2009-06-14
2. Suzannne Vega in Spanish with Nigella Lawson's sex appeal - So luscious and fresh. "Me Echaras de Menos" and "Paradise" show that her style is a little more sophisticated than it was on Oregano, but it's just as clear and pretty. I realize pretty isn't always a compliment in pop music, but her sense of humor and lack of pretension make Laan perfect for a mix with rockier, more technical sounds. The instrumentation on Chocolate and Roses has really dialed down the Euro-pop aspect. too. Maybe I can get my friends to listen now!
2008-12-20
3. really quite hermoso! - What I love most about this album is Ms. Laan's ability to sing in spanish, english, french and portugese with such wonderfully believable conviction. Being bilingual, I really appreciate the multi lingual slant of her singing. I don't think or talk in only one language and hearing someone sing in the same way most of us split tongued folk talk is both exciting and comforting. This is a great chill album. Put it on, drink some wine, make some unhurried love... yes it's that kind of album. Stand outs, for me at least, are "me echaras de menos" and "mayo". And "low tech lady" is my life's anthem. Really, a truly lovely collection.
2008-11-21
4. Beautiful and unique - I really really love this album. I can't believe i didn't know she existed before she was on the Free Single of the Week. She sings some songs in Spanish but even if you have no idea what she is singing (like me) it's still really good. The music is beatiful and different from anything i've ever heard.
2008-06-09
5. Review on the song Paradise - I want to keep this simple. It stinks! And I've heard some more of these songs, not just Paradise. The lyrics are disgustng and dirty. The music is okay, a little 'all over the place', but not bad. So if you like a little latin sounding music (and you can ignore the lyrics, the dirty ones at least?) then this album isn't so bad. But if not, stay away from this album at all costs!!!!!!
2008-05-03
6. Congratulations Retro Pin-up Girl - Congratulations on the great Dove commercial. The instant I heard Paradise, I knew you were special. The best thing in life are free. There is a purity and innocence in this sound that can only be described as the sensation of falling in love. It possesses the imagery of a retro-Vargas pinup girl, with Spanish/French/Mediterranean tones, that captures the background sounds of a Rockwell painting. Its music to bond with, form life long memories in a summers nights adoring embrace.
2008-04-22
7. Awesome sound! - Her voice is so clear and the melodies are so light and fun that you can't help but just feel happy :) I like Colbie Caillat and Sara Bareilles for their mellow sound. Ana has a similar feel to her music, but she definitely has a unique style. The clarity of her voice is the real joy to her music. I love the whole album!
2008-03-26
8. Just in time for spring! - I am so glad that iTunes finally caught on and got her new album on here. Ana Laan keeps the music simple and down to earth on "Chocolate and Roses," but she never makes it boring. The songs are nuanced, at times exhibiting genres such as jazz, bossa nova, folk, and electronica. Her lyrics are straightforward but not trite, and she manages to sing in four different languages without sounding awkward or forced. If I'd have to narrow it down, my favorites would be "Me Echaras de Menos," "Happiness is a Long Discipline," and "Inappropriate." With this album, Ana shows that she's consistent in exploring her craft.
2008-03-21
9. A beautiful surprise - This will definitely be in a yogurt or healthy food ad!! This song is beautiful!! I love the retro harmonies. WOW! Ana, you will be a HUGE star with this one song. DO not lose the backup vocalists. They enhance the lead voice. It lightens my mood when I hear it. Makes me think about being with my sweetie.
2008-03-18
10. well, well, well..... - I don't think that the first reviewer really understood the simplistic beats and harmony to this album. Yes some of the guitars, drums and bass are very elementary (same with RATM, Jack Johnson (some what) and a few other bands) but when put together her sound creates a visual feast to the imagination. It reminds me of a beautiful spring morning reading a book outside a coffee shop. I wouldn't be surprised to hear her stuff in Starbucks here pretty soon. Simplistic and slightly artistic.
2008-03-09
11. Quirky, pensive, and beautiful - Ana Serrano van der Laan's voice has depth and clarity, and her arrangements and lyrics are rewarding to listen to. If you want club music, look elsewhere - this is more for an arty cafe or a quiet day at home. There's a definite tone of sunshine and light, here, but it's not all one color. There's tension and complexity - world music fans may find her comparable to Camille or Adriana Calcanhotta - singers with strong voices even at low volumes. She's on my list of artists to look out for, even though my preference in female Latin American singers runs more to early Julieta Venegas and Andrea Echeverri, with and without Aterciopelados.
2008-03-05
12. Simple, pleasant, but creative - After recently purchasing/listening to tunes by Sarah Bareilles, Sonya Kitchell, Feist, Colbie Caillat, as well as classics like Dinah Washington and Rosemary Clooney, I find this album very pleasant to listen to - Ana Laan's voice is fun but strong. It didn't knock my socks off, but I could see this as a soundtrack to a sunny day on a day car-trip (or a Grey's Anatomy episode). Kudos for making hers the Single of the Week, and for exposing me to this artist.
2008-03-05
13. Beautiful Music....but I have a gripe.... - I'm happy that iTunes has made Paradise the free single of the week...I can always click on the free single of the week and love like or be indifferent to the free offer. Thanks to iTunes for exposing me to Ana. I hadn't heard of her before and I'm really enjoying this new release from her. I'm getting really tired of stupid kids like the first reviewer leaving comments that do nothing but report stupid childlike reviews with poor spelling...making little if any sense . Hopefully iTunes can start screening the reviews a little better because if they don't at least comment on the music...the singing ...production....SOMETHING...they do nothing but distract and irritate those of us that would actually like to read something intelligent presented by other music fans that aren't years old and clueless.
