CD Reviews

A Fine release

James B. Whitney | Minneapolis, MN. USA | 05/05/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is a very good album but, in my opinion, not as good as his first. This disk sounds less Andean which is what made Pepe's first album so memorable. I waited eagerly for Pepe to release a new album and when I saw that he had, I snapped it up.

I have listened to this album many times and it has grown on me but I still miss the pan pipes and flutes which played such a big role on his first disk. This album is much more pop oriented than rock but Pepe does this well. The Andean instruments are there, just much less prominant On some songs, they are absent. The lyrics are very uplifting for those who speak Spanish and Pepe's voice remains strong.

This is a good, not great album and I hope Pepe's next one will be more like his first. If not, he is in danger of becoming just another pop singer for the Spanish speaking audience."
