Summary: Spectacular
Comment: I have been playing this CD over and over again, always hearing new things and changing my mind on which song is my favorite. I am a Chambao fan, and this ranks with their best. Truly a winner!

Summary: Simplified, Dumbed down, Popified Chambao
Comment: This is my 3rd Chambao album, after "Pokito a Poko" and "Endorfinas en la mente", and this one is the first to disappoint. Maybe not hugely, but a little.
Melodies have gotten simpler, the Spanish flavor and perky melodies, rhythms and harmonies are replaced with smooth listening, and I suspect broader accessibility. Wonderful flamenco syncopation, while present on the background, is largely overpowered by a more typical 4/4 beats.
I can see how this album climbed to 7th place, as it's probably more generally accessible, but the soul of Chambao so present in her previous albums seems sadly, at large.

Summary: Not so good
Comment: Miles away from their previous CDs. The other ones are really really good.
For those of you who liked them, you should also look for Bebe. Her first (and only) CD is quite wonderful. Very powerful.

Summary: Chambao es la hostia
Comment: Este grupo musical no tiene igual en el mundo entero. La voz, las palabras y el ritmo de LaMari te transportan al mar, al cielo, a las estrellas y a la profundidad de su alma. Esta música me inspira a ser aun más feliz de lo que soy, me hace reír, me trae lágrimas y me provoca a abrazar a todos, tanto a los conocidos como a los desconocidos. Qué alegría más sincera, más contagiosa, más iluminadora. La verdad es que LaMari nos muestra la sencillez de la vida y le mando mis mil y una gracias. Y...me encanta el homenaje a las ballenas...
