5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT MIX OF VOICES & SONGS!, July 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Dkda: Suenos De Juventud (Audio CD)

DKDA is a very good CD. All the voices & songs are a great mix of emotions & feelings. The songs can relate to almost anyone no matter what age they belong to. The songs have rhythm that makes you want to hear them over & over again & makes you want to dance to the rhythm. But the most wonderful & beautiful voice of this CD has to be of Alessandra of Sentidos Opuestos. She is the one that gives spark to the whole CD. She has a unique & remarkable voice! DKDA is one of the best CD's I've ever listened to. GREAT MUSIC & GREAT VOICES!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I was hoping for, October 7, 2000

This review is from: Dkda: Suenos De Juventud (Audio CD)

I'm not enthusiastic about DKDA. DKDA was a band that was created specifically for a Mexican soap opera, called DKDA. The soap opera is about a band with 4 girls and 3 boys. Co-ed, pop bands with 6 or 7 members are very popular in Mexican. Some of the more famous groups are Timbiriche, Kabah, and Onda Vaseelina (now called OV7). DKDA was a soap opera that wanted to capitalize on the popularity of such bands, so a cast of singers/actors was rounded up. Jan, whose first soap opera was Sonadoras, stars in DKDA. Jan's first cd, called Jan, is very good - often being rated higher than Enrique Iglesias cds by critics. I have this cd and enjoy it very much. I have not heard Jan's second cd, Acariciame el alma, but I don't think that it is as good as his first cd. Jan is a soloist that usually sings with a guitar rather than electronic sounds. The other two famous singers in the soap opera are Litzy and Alessandra. Litzy was a member of the pop group Jeans during their first album. After leaving Jeans, she made a soloist album, which is fairly good. In both Jeans and her soloist album, she sings to electronic, pop music. Litzy has a track on the cd Sexo, Pudor, y Lagrimas, which won Best ALbum of the Year at Los Premios El Heraldo. Alessandra is a member of Sentidos Opuestos. Sentidos Opuestos is very popular in Mexico, and songs from several years ago still get regualar play on the radio. Indeed, Alessandra does have an incredible voice. She has made four cds with Sentidos Opuestos and will soon come out with a fifth cd. Alessandra sings solo in Sentidos Opuestos, while Chacho, the other member, plays the electronic keyboard. I have 3 cds by Sentidos Opuestos and consider them to be some of the best cds in my collection. Ironically, Alessandra sang the theme song of the Sonadoras.

Since I like Litzy, Jan, and Alessandra so much, I thought that I would like the three singing together, so I bought DKDA. I found out that electronic music is not a good match for Jan and that Alessandra's voice stands out too much to blend smoothly with those of the other singers. Jan is not for electro-pop and Alessandra is not meant for group-singing. Litzy, who has done well in group-singing and is suited to electro-pop, fails to exhibit any of the sparkle and charm that made me like her other albums. To me, it seems that these three stars did not put the same effort into DKDA as they have put into their personal projects.

Most of the songs on DKDA are not very good songs. They are un-original, weak copies of the type of songs that might be songs by Timbiriche, Kabah, or Onda Vaselina. Litzy, Alessandra, and Jan each get two solos. Then, Alessandra and Jan combine with Patricio Borguetti and Ernesto D'alessio to sing the songs with multiple singers. Each boy gets one solo song. Patricio's voice sounds a lot like Jan's. Ernesto's voice is too high-pitched for my taste. Veronica Jaspeado and Paola each have a solo song, but do not seem to sing on the rest of the tracks. Ironically, Veronica and Paola's songs are two of the best songs on the cd. I think that Veronica and Paola may sing background in some songs, but they are not listed on these tracks. When there are female voices in the background, they seem like a flashback to the soundtrack for the movie Grease. Someone gets in some annoying shrieks of "Oooh, oooh!," "Whooo!," and "Aieeee!" It's probably Ernesto. The best tracks on the cd are Amame como soy (theme song of the soap opera), Creer en ti, Llega la vida, and Agridulce amor. Do not buy this cd if you are not a teenager. The whole thing is geared towards teenagers, which disappoints me because there are several sexually suggestive songs. The famous co-ed, pop bands of Mexico usually stay away from sexually suggestive material. Jan and Litzy have done the same as far as I know. Litzy's song on Sexo, Pudor, y Lagrimas was not sexaully suggestive.

If you are a fan of group music, buy cds by Kabah, Onda Vaselina, or Timbiriche instead of buying DKDA. If you like Litzy, Jan, or Alessandra, stick to the cds that they've made on their own.

5.0 out of 5 stars DKDA es lo Maximo!, October 10, 2000

Mi Opinion sobre el disco es que es Genial. Apesar que solo fue por una temporada el dico valio la pena. Las canciones te llegan al alma y hacen que te sientas vivo. La juventud se compara con ellos. Este CD y la novela ha hecho que los jovenes vuelvan a creer en los sueños y en si mismos. Definitivamente le doy 100 Estrellas! y se merecen mas!
