Synopsis

Amazon.com's Best of 2001
There's an alternately ethereal and electric power pulsing through Gozo Poderoso, the stellar fifth album from Colombian duo Aterciopelados. Maybe that's because the team of vocalist-guitarist Andrea Echeverri and bassist Hector Buitrago have rooted their sound in traditional rhythms while deftly dipping it in some of today's most exciting genres. Each track on the album flows effortlessly into the next, but there's nary a hint of repetition. It's all tied together by intricate production and a spiritual intelligence that flows through many of the song lyrics. "Luz Azul," "Esmeralda," and "El Album" (the first single) are stand-outs, anchored by Echeverri's slyly seductive vocals. Cumbia, salsa, and vallenato intermingle with alt-rock riffs, electronica flourishes, and bossa nova rhythms. It's an intoxicating mix that's impossible to classify--and resist. --Joey Guerra

CD Reviews

An evolving wonderful style
Enrique Torres | 04/07/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Having been a fan of Aterciopelados for almost a decade I find it incredible how they keep evolving their wonderful sound (hear the new updated version of Florecita Rockera on Evolution). This album definitely shows their increasing interest in electronica that gives it a smooth trippy sound that goes wonderfully with Andrea's deep and emotive voice. But, while one reviewer calls this the best in non-western music (umm, what hemisphere is Latin America supposed to be in?), let me clarify...this is some of the best of ignored, non-English language western music that shows the influence of both regional (Colombian) and more universal sounds in rock, electronica and pop. A keeper to enjoy over and over - whatever your native language."
Pure Beauty
Daniel E. Cogswell | Moscow, Russian | 01/16/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a CD of exceptional beauty. The music flows smooth and light. It is music that you simply cannot tire of listening to. The more you experience it the more you appreciate the depth of its beauty. The music is complex yet smooth and the lyrics combine passion with wisdom..."
They forgot to mention the album art!
Kenyon | alameda, ca United States | 10/13/2002
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is the first/only album of theirs that I have (yet) - so I don't know if this is their "style" - but the CD packaging is a beautiful trippy thing! It's unusal in that the booklet is bound into the CD case - like a book! Pomo-psychedelic art by various band members, and all lyrics - in Spanish. Colorful, dreamy. Buy this one!"
