Definitivamente es un gran disco de coleccion, el cual le recomiendo a todos aquellos amantes de este genero de musica que es muy bella. La Banda de el Recodo es toda una institucion y creanme que no se arrepentiran... gracias. Juan

Banda El Recodo is a talented group. Juan Gabriel isn't afraid to experiment. One would expect great things from a joint effort. Well, you can tap your toe to it . . . Gabriel's voice just doesn't mesh well with an oomph, oomph, honk, honk stage sound. Even Gabriel signature pieces--"Costumbres," "No me vuelvo a enamorar"--don't hold up in this album. Gabriel's voice sounds clipped, strained. The CD is also no bargain. Gabriel, usually generous in quantity, ends this release after only 33 minutes. With all due respect to all of the people involved in this project the combo just doesn't work very well. People who want to hear REALLY good Gabriel should spend their money on his Palacio de Bellas Artes live performance CDs and videos.

The Billboard Awards four-nominated artist, Juan Gabriel, and Grammy winners Banda el Recodo have mixed their talents in this excellent production. If you like Juan Gabriel and you are a lover of Banda genre this CD is just what we have been waiting for. Even if you are not too close to Banda music you will be surprised to listen this magnificent CD. Including songs like "No me vuelvo a enamorar" and "He venido a pedirte perdón," ones that helped Juan Gabriel climb where he is, with a new rhythm, this CD becomes an irresistible production to have. All songs are products of the ingenious of this charismatic artist except "El Sinaloense," a song that has traveled around the world thanks to Banda el Recodo. Adding Juan Gabriel's voice converts it to a piece master that every body must have. One of Juanga's best known song, "Adorable Mentirosa," is also included in this CD, but this time with a rhythm that makes you want to dance. Combine Banda el Recodo's 50 years of artistic existence, and Juan Gabriel's more than 30, you can't wait anything but a perfect production really worth buying.

How can people call this beautiful music? It sounds to me very vulgar and disgusting. For beautiful music listen to the complex sounds of classical music or opera heavy metal which is very much influenced by classical music and opera.
