"La verdad es que no sabía quién era el tipo hasta que un pana me lo prestó. Este disco rockea bien duro! Aunque el cantante (Noel) no es un chamaco, sí tiene una banda joven y por eso parece que suenan así. Tiren palante y cómprenlo si les gusta el buen rock en español."

Finally, a folk singer that really rocks!

"If you like Silvio Rodríguez, Pablo Milanés and Bob Dylan, you'll dig Noel Hernández. But make no mistake, this ain't no acoustic guitar lullaby. This is Dylan colliding at 100 mph with Black Sabbath on a darkened highway. And what a beatiful wreck! That's what happens when a pioneer of the puertorican nueva trova (protest music) blends his socially conscious lyrics and fine melodicism, with a young rocking band. So don't worry about the language and let the music do the talking at maximum volume! With Aldea Global, Noel shows the will to let his music wander and evolve. I can only think of one folksinger who dared to rock, and that's Neil Young. Noel follows brilliantly on his footsteps."
