There is so much to love about Carlos Vives, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. Self-described as Jazz with lots of words, Carlos Vives comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. This is one of the best Cd’s Carlos Vives has dropped to date. This is what good Jazz should be.
Molinera is another favourite of mine. Charming song, great melody. Almirante Padilla great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.Mejoral - A classic Carlos Vives track. Miguel Canales make listening to Carlos Vives like being in some sort of time warp. Villanuevero motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. Jamie Molina is beautiful, yet underrated track. This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. This is the kind of song I think of when I think of Carlos Vives. In Custodia de Badillo you won’t find any flashy solos. Resentida is possibly the most mysterious and inexplicable track Carlos Vives ever produced. Golondrina one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard.
