"This is undoubtably one of the best latino groups, next to Los Temerarios, to come out of Mexico. I enjoy this particular album, Los Caminos De La Vida, very much. I can sit and listen to it for hours (and sometimes do). I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to add some cumbia flavor to their life."

Cumbia! Cumbia!

"Wow. For those of you trying your hand (or ear, I guess) at musica latina who just can't get into flashy, brassy, sombrero'd mariachi band music (like me), this is the way to go. The hypnotic cumbia rhythm and the playful accordion grooves make this album a festive, frolicsome listen. The melodies are simple and light on the brass (some smooth, sly hornwork featured only on "A Ritmo De Tambo"), giving the music a fresh, crisp, clean feel. Mmmm. Makes me feel like seafood salad by the beach."
