4.0 out of 5 stars I don't speak Spanish, August 29, 2005

Need a cheap way to get to El Tigre, Argentina? Pop in City Zen. Since I don't speak Spanish the rhythm and laid back vibes of the album are what I have to go on, and I can listen for hours. I was first turned on to Kevin Johansen about a year ago with a copy of the CD with Puerto Madero and Guacemole on it. While City Zen is missing a song with the hook of Puerto Madero, it makes up for it with "Buenos Aires Anti-Social Club" and the not-just-a-little-bit Hawaiian "Oops." "Gem In I" is just a good, catchy song. If you're a little too use to Top 40 Radio, this might be the perfect escape for you. Put it on, close your eyes and picture Buenos Aires.

How can I express in a sentence Kevin Johansen's
music, is just a great musician, I have no words
for him, his unique style of music takes you into
another different world, if you want to reach the
clouds listen to his music drinking some mate,
it's just heaven, I swear it!!!

I have heard already "Sur o no Sur" from Johann and it really is a close call in knowing which one of the two albums is better. "City Zen" has exceptional music and lyrics crowned by superlative recording. If you have a good stereo you will enjoy the amount of detail and effort put into this record.
