This is a swedish timba group and this is their first release. Its a great album - a perfect mix between timba and salsa. All their songs are catchy, with a great job by the vocalist, bass and piano.
So many great songs in this album, I don't know where to start. Somos Calle Real, Rompiendo Murallas, Esperanza, and of course, Princesa Timba are great timba tracks, real catchy, with feeling. El Beso and Suena Conmigo are my favs. El Momento and La Rosa are very good guajiras/chachas.

What stands out in this album are the great vocals and coros from all swedish cast, real catchy montunos, funky bass and driving percussion. Each track is a joy of its own.

If I were to pick a track to represent this band, i would pick Rompiendo Murallas. Too bad there are no previews here, but you can google the band, or go to their myspace website to listen to their music. BTW, I am just a normal guy who is really impressed by their music, I'm not promoting them or anything.

For a frame of reference: my favorite bands are Maraca, bamboleo, I also like good hard driving timba with piano montunos and hard congas being key.

Es dificil como entender que un grupo de musica europeo, de un pais donde no se habla espan~ol pudiese haber sido responsable por este disco. Mientras la influencia mayor es difinitivamente timba, muchos grupos cubanos lo tiran muy fuerte para el resto del mundo. Este grupo le ha puesto un toque de pop que lo hace mas facil de escuchar, mientras no le quita la autenticidad. El toque de pop incluye el uso de guitarra electrica y violines en algunas canciones.

Este va a ser el mejor album que salio en 2006(al menos en norteamerica, pues salio en europa en 2004) que nadie lo va a escuchar. Es tan bueno que nada mas cuando escuche el sample del website y ya sabia que me iba a encantar.
