5.0 out of 5 stars muy excellante!!, July 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Carretera (Audio CD)

I have had this cd for awhile and can tell you honestly that it is one of the best I've heard. The music is relaxing yet familier somehow...haunting yet inviting...definitly one of his best!!!!!!!!

This review is from: Carretera (Audio CD)

From 1995, this is a really gorgeous CD, a velvety musical treat from start to finish. 5 of the 10 songs are written by the team of Roberto Levi and Rafael Ferro, and are beautiful, romantic baladas, with "Baila Morena" a lovely melody with a Carribean taste to it. Other good rythmic tracks are "Derroche", by Manuel Giménez, and my favorite, "Agua Dulce, Agua Salá", by Estéfano, Donato, and Batt.

"Con el pasar de los años~he aprendido en la vida~que se vive intensamente~porque si no se termina"

There is also a medley of rumbas that are mighty fine, and a sad song of lost love "Sin Excusas ni Rodeos" which was written by Julio, along with Estéfano, Donato, and Arcusa...the CD finishes with the wonderful Alvarez/Beigbeder "Vuela Alto". Needless to say, the arrangements are lush and the musicianship top notch. The Spanish guitar of Toledo deserves a mention in "La Luna me Engaño".

This CD is like one of those frothy, iced cappuccino drinks I indulge in once in a while...maybe a little sweet, but oh so yummy to the last drop.

Well, to me this is one of Julio's best cd's. I own it in Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese. Baila Morena has a great cumbia beat, and it is great to dance to. The rhythm runs through your body making you want to explode if you don't get up and dance.
