At heart it’s Flamenco, but Ruibal mixes in influences of North Africa, jazz, salsa, and other flavors. He has a very emotional voice and there’s some great guitar work on here (mostly by Tito Alcedo). It’s a bit overdone in places, though. *1. Uptempo & lyrical. 2. Jazzy w/some strong vocals. 3. Horns, electric bass, perc, vocals. Mid-tempo. *4. Lively and lyrical w/big horns & vox. 5. Soaring vocals, guitars, perc. Mid-tempo. 6. A swaying, romantic tune w/nice guitars. 7. Pretty, low-key guitar duet w/vocals. 8. Another romantic air, this time w/strings. *9. Jazz orchestration and romantic lyrics. 10. A bright mid-tempo sway. 11. Mid-tempo, big strings/chorus. 12. Strings/vox/sax. A sad sound. *13. Cool piano, varied tempos. Nice. 14. Mid-tempo. Nice blend of voices/guitar/perc. *15. Simple but emotional, piano & vox. Slow, sad. 12/2003 | ||
