"(Translation: It's hard to say it face to face, but who cares?) You may be somewhat hesitant to try to brave singing along to a song where you've absolutely no idea what you're singing or how to pronounce it, but trust me - just try listening to "Lo Echamos a Suertes" (track 2 on this cd, Ella Baila Sola) and then try singing along, and you'll get hooked. The infectious melody along with the great, insightful lyrics and the upbeat, flowing pulse/rhythm will have you boppin' around and hitting the "repeat" button over and over ... and over again! The whole CD is an incredible variety of wonderful songs, like Lo Echamos a Suertes, and Amores de Barra, all with a surreal common thread that keeps you listening time and time again. If you know Spanish, the words are great, if not, the words are still extremely fun to sing along with. Ella Baila Sola is one of those rare, unbelievably talented groups that you wish came along more often - you just can't listen to this CD enough! It's, well, [a] brilliant recording!"

Muy bueno

"Este CD es un exelente comienzo para estas dos chicas guapas que sin usar minifaldas, atraen la mirada y sin cantar palabritas de amor dulces a los oidos de los hombres solos, se los ganan de todas formas. De hecho le cantan a los hombres cantandoles a la mujer, buscan su propia identidad femenina sin caer en feminismos, no buscan la reinvindicacion de la mujer por ser mujer sino que tiran codazos para abrirse camino por ellas mismas. Tratan temas como los "amores de barra" que no son romanticos y no lo trata de forma anegdotica contando una historia, sino que lo platican tan asi como si nada. La mejor canción es en mi opinion "Entra" quiza porque es la mas metalera, pero tambien tiene una letra muy interesante. En fin, ojala que siguan con este nivel de calidad en cuanto a letras que sin ser profundas ni poeticas son muy buenas."

A CD that brings back beautiful memories of Spain

"I picked this CD up at Virgin Records in the airport in Madrid, after previewing it at a listening station. Although I couldn't immediately understand the lyrics, the music had me hooked. I've slowly been able to translate the songs after repeated listenings, & they are as beautiful as the country from which they originated; a country I long to revisit. This CD didn't leave my stereo for 2 months after I returned from Spain & still receives frequent playtime. Most of the songs have a Spanish folk-rock kind of feel to them; & the lyrics on songs like "Mejor Sin Ti" & "Por Ti" are poetry. I highly recommend this CD."
