Aterciopelados (Colombia)CD Gozo poderoso [2001] • LISTEN
• BUY
CD • REVIEW: There's an alternately ethereal and electric power
pulsing through Gozo Poderoso, the stellar fifth album from Colombian
duo Aterciopelados. Maybe that's because the team of vocalist-guitarist
Andrea Echeverri and bassist Hector Buitrago have rooted their sound
in traditional rhythms while deftly dipping it in some of today's most
exciting genres. Each track on the album flows effortlessly into the
next, but there's nary a hint of repetition. It's all tied together
by intricate production and a spiritual intelligence that flows through
many of the song lyrics. "Luz Azul," "Esmeralda,"
and "El Album" (the first single) are stand-outs, anchored
by Echeverri's slyly seductive vocals. Cumbia, salsa, and vallenato
intermingle with alt-rock riffs, electronica flourishes, and bossa nova
rhythms. It's an intoxicating mix that's impossible to classify--and
resist. -- Review by Joey Guerra CD The Best of Aterciopelados: Ultimate Collection [2004] • BUY CD | CD Serie 2000 [2000] • LISTEN

Café
Tacuba (Mexico)Live CD Un viaje [2005] • LISTEN
• BUY
CD • REVIEW: Mexican trio Café Tacuba celebrates 15 years of making--and
often revolutionizing--Spanish rock with Un Viaje. This lush,
luxurious live set includes three discs of music and one electrifying
DVD. (Separate versions are also available, but this generous edition
is the most satisfying and is moderately priced.) The group has culled
the best moments from a two-night stand in Oct. 2004 at the Palacio
de los Deportes in Mexico City, and the results are consistently electric.
Every song, every rhythm, every guitar lick, every laugh is important,
a not-to-be-missed moment. Café Tacuba's potent mix of music
and message is a powerful thing, and the group thrives in its unflinchingly
earnest, sweetly sincere approach to its art. Even during backstage
interviews and recording studio hijinks, each member seems wholly pleased
to be a part of the process. Throughout the proceedings, Café
Tacuba's ardent fans thank them with hoots, hollers and constant singalongs
to almost every song, making Un Viaje a joyous trip for everyone
involved. -- Review by Joey Guerra CD Tiempo trancurrido: The Best of Café Tacuba [2001] • LISTEN

Maná
(Mexico)Live CD MTV Unplugged [1999] • LISTEN
• BUY
CD • REVIEW: Maná may be at the forefront of the ever-burgeoning
Rock en Español movement, but the Mexican band employs a variety
of styles to perfect its pleasing pop sound. Nowhere is that more evident
than on MTV Unplugged, the quartet's shimmering live collection
of some of its biggest hits. Airy balladry, simmering tropical grooves,
and '80s-inspired choruses all figure in the mix, making for an effortless
and intimate evening of music. The live setting punches up Maná's
arrangements on tracks such as "No Ha Parado de Llover," "Ana,"
and "Vivir Sin Aire." The confident vocal swagger and pleading
delivery of lead singer Fher, particularly on "Perdido en un Barco"
and "Oye Mi Amor," brings to mind icons such as Sting and
U2's Bono. Fher is a rock superstar waiting to be embraced by the world.

Puya
(Puerto Rico)CD Unión [2001] • LISTEN
• BUY
CD • REVIEW: Heirs to the South American headbang spirit of
Sepultura, as well as the headstrong social conscience of Rage Against
the Machine, the Puerto Rican groove collective Puya combine salsa,
rap, and metal like a Latin Limp Bizkit, albeit with more brains and
heart. Similar to Brooklyn's harder-edged Candiria, Puya offer a taste
of everything, and, while sometimes the sound is only a collection of
disparate influences, tracks such as "Si Aja" successfully
combine polyrhythms with thick guitars. Someone smells the commercial
potential: Unión offers up radio-friendly hooks that didn't
fit into the mix on the band's debut. The "original fusion"
of Puya is a more organic and infectious kind of mish-mosh than the
cut-and-paste songwriting of bands such as Static-X. As these brothers
from Borinquen continue to synthesize their blend into a truly new style
of aggression, conditions will only improve. -- Review by Ian Christe

Shakira
(Colombia)MTV Unplugged [2000] • LISTEN
• BUY
CD • REVIEW: The 23-year-old Colombian singer-songwriter
Shakira has become an international star thanks to her rich, emotive
voice and thoughtful songs. Her albums Pies Descalzos and Dónde
Están Los Ladrones? are platinum in the U.S.; now, as something
of a taster before the release of an English-language disc, comes this
recording of an acoustic performance for MTV. Shakira's songs translate
well to the format; in some ways Unplugged is her most muscular
music yet. The opening "Octava Dia" gains punch from its dramatic
arrangement, while the elements of traditional music in "Ciega,
Sordomuda" are applied with wit and charm. Fans of Sarah McLachlan
and Alanis Morissette who haven't caught on to Shakira yet are in for
a pleasant surprise when they hear this. --Rickey Wright CD Fijación oral 2 [2006] • LISTEN
