"This Spanish trio from Barcelona has managed to fuse the best in many genres of music. There are hints of flamenco, blues, jazz, dance and techno throughout this album. As for the lyrics, they talk of the darker, sadder sides of life ("Una Mañana","Una Ducha Y Un Café"), with the exception of "Tengo" - where the character praises all the wonderful things she has in her life. This is not an album made up of simple compositions. These three musicians know their craft well, and Dolo, the singer of Pastora, has a haunting, sensual voice. I bought the album in Puerto Rico after becomming obsessed with their first single, "Lola". (I was shocked by the lyrics and could not believe Pastora got away with their overly sexual story.) Little did I know all of Puerto Rico fell to their spell in the fall of 2004. Maybe you will, too..."

"Barcelona's native Pastora, sounds like nothing else you have ever heard before. Their sound is innovative yet very familiar. Once you hear their music you will have no other option but to surrender to their magic spell. Their lyrics are very simple yet very deep. Dolo, Pauet and Caim may very well be the perfect pop act of the new millennium, mixing hauntingly beautiful music with superb imagery. A unique audio visual experience. Pastora gets five stars for excellent lyrics, beautiful melodies and very creative presentation. If you do not speak Spanish, you have nothing to worry. Pastora is an experience that you will enjoy beyond language."

Dynamic music for a cheerful walk....

"Pastora is a young vibrant group from Barcelona that delivers their opera prima for our listening delight. With electronic tints mixed with traditional acoustic instruments the lyrics paint a perfect portrait of life (and death) in the illustrous metropoli (be it Barcelona, London, New York, Los Angeles). With melancholic songs like Hombre sin Tabaco, yet preceded with the cheerful Lola (the first single) this album is a perfect trip all around the incredible capacities of this young trio. I highly recommend it as a top album of 2004. This group is rising like bubbly foam in the preferences of Barcelona listeners and I can predict it will become huge in the hispanoamerican music scene in the near future. I am highly awaiting their next delivery, hopefully soon!"
