Totally fresh and fabulous. Four types of music: puya (feat. lots of accordion), Merengue (upbeat & catchy), son (slower) and paseo (light & lively). Great performances throughout, you can’t go wrong with any track. Everything is SO good! Great notes too.

1. Upbeat, fun, completely happy paseo, great vocals/accordion.
2. Light & lively merengue w/some fast work from the band.
3. Wicked-trippy fast puya w/great perc/accordion/vox. Yow!
4. Bright & lyrical paseo with a sweet melody & cool vocals.
5. Happy merengue w/a totally bouncy sound.
6. Relaxed son w/soaring vocals.
7. Upbeat paseo w/driving percussion & cool accordion/vocals.
8. Midtempo paseo w/warm male vocals & tight arrangement.
9. Instrumental merengue w/a driving, extra fast sound.
10. Warm, midtempo paseo w/a broken heart sound. Very cool.
11. Midtempo, a lush, romantic paseo w/warm vocals.
12. Extra bouncy paseo w/great accordion and great vocals.
13. Bright and toe-taping paseo w/good vocals harmonies.
14. Wacky-fast instrumental puya. Holy cats!
15. Sweet paseo with a good blend of voices/accordion/perc.
