There are some exceptionally good songs on this CD. My favorite is "A Miles". This is a very enjoyable track with a dark, sultry melody and a strong, almost hip-hop-like, beat. "¿Dónde Está Tu Cariño?" is simply a beautiful song sung beautifully by Tomatito's young daughter. "Porque Tú lo Vales" is a well-crafted solea with some very melodic falsetas and a cool ending. "En Casa del Herrero" is one of the most entertaining bulerias I've ever heard; the tag-team duet with Potito and Guadiana is always a treat to hear since these are two of my favorite flamenco singers. "Gallibando" is a tango that is just as majestic as "¿Dónde Está Tu Cariño?", and El Cigala does an excellent job on the vocals. This is a great CD that should satisfy both seasoned flamenco-listeners and beginners.

Though I am a novice Flamenco fan I do recognize the true beauty in this CD. The song "Donde esta tu cariño" has one of the most hauntingly beautiful melodies that I have ever heard. It captures the searingly sad spirit from where flamenco originates.
A beautiful CD.

Tomatito is my favorite flamenco guitarist living today. This album is a wonderful effort from Tomatito and every bit as entertaining as his other solo efforts. The album does have some mainstream, flamenco-inspired tunes, but never strays from the genre. The recording and mastering is excellent and well produced. Whether you are a fan of traditional flamenco guitar or just a novice listener of duende, this album is a great addition to anyone's collection. I recommend any and all of Tomatito's recordings and Aqua Dulce is a brilliant example of the guitar masterery of Tomatito.
