Let me get straight to the point. Soraya is gorgeous, she has a sensual voice, writes her own songs and plays the guitar, something uncommon in Latin American women. This cd will show people that women can rock. Although this cd is not mainstream, people who purchase this cd will not be disappointed. All of these songs are well written, but the best have to be "Avalancha," "De Repente," "Quedate," "Amore En Tus Ojos," "Calma Antes De La Tormenta" and "Razon Para Creer." All these songs are relaxing and give an euphoric sense. Track number 10 is included to honor her home country, Colombia, although it is depressing, this traditional song suits Soraya's style. Trust me, most of these songs will be unforgettable that I am usually reminded of the time this cd came out, way back in 1996. Why? Because I first heard it in the summer, purchased and heard all the tracks by winter, and whenever there is a chilly, windy, sunny afternoon I am immediately transported back to winter of 1996.

Soraya is and will always be one of the best Latin singers. Her music, talent and beauty will eternally bless all who have heard this angel sing.

Me cuesta escribir estas lineas por la pena que siento ante la noticia de tu fallecimiento. Solo quiero decir en este momento que mi pena se consuela porque se que luchaste mucho en esta vida, y eso se te tendra en cuenta aqui y en la eternidad. Gracias por ser un ejemplo de fortaleza para todos y por las canciones que nos dejaste .

Soraya is so great. Even though I don't know too much spanish I still can get the jist of the songs through her voice and tone. She has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. In fact she is really a lot like Sheryl Crow except she sounds much better (no slight against the very talented Sheryl). Buy this now. You won't regret it.

Soraya is a singer-songwriter from Columbia. Unlike her other releases, she sings in English on this album with the exception of the last song "Pueblito Viejo". Mostly the music is kept to minimum placing the emphasis on her beautiful voice. She sounds like a cross between Natalie Merchant and Carole King. She also plays acoustic guitar and mandolin. Rod Argent is the keyboardist and he produced the album as well.

I had first heard (Track #1) this very vaugely in english. Then later in the year I started listening to a latin Radio Station and Heard it (Track #1) in spanish not knowing there is a version in english and by the Same person. But I knew this was a very familar Song. De Repente is what started my life and the new life I Started at 18. I know she speaks of her Experinces and I am deeply blessed to understand. She has Drawn love out of my heart in a way no one has. Even though I am a man I have not experinced breast Cancer, Her Songs are like Messages that You and I could Relate In our own ways. What Makes Soraya "Soraya" is her Gift to the world. Her Music Is Like the Higher Power For those That Beleive. It embraces you with love in many different affections. Then it Cleanses Your heart of the Spiritual Poisoning we have felt. Then it baptizes us With Renewed Hope, Stength and Inspiration.

...it's a pity that Soraya is often overlooked in today's music scene full of platinum blonde latina divas...here's a true musician..she's not just a beautiful face (although she's got that too)...she is refreshingly latina in her style...she plays instruments, writes her lyrics which reflect a deeper soul...the music is moody and beautiful at times...the opening track is catchy and draws you in...but the rest of the tracks are the real meat, with exquisite chords played beside her enchanting voice which invokes strokes of passion and confession...the last track : pueblito viejo is simply exquisite!!! It invokes the a small latino town with romantic lush orchestrations behind a song of aching simplicity....Soraya has poured out her heart here..some of the songs are catchy but it is with repeated listenings that the beauties of the other songs come out...

Soraya es una de las artitas mas romanticas que he escuchado. Su voz junto con su romanticas canciones hacen de este un exelente disco. Temas como "De Repente", "Avalancha", "Quedate", "Debo Saber", y "Amor En Tus Ojos" te haran pensar solo en el amor. Soraya es unica.

I am very pleased with my purchase of this CD! I received it promptly and in excellent condition. I would definitely purchase again from this seller.

The CD was released shortly after Soraya's mother died after a long struggle with breast cancer. The title song "En Esta Noche" and its English version "On Nights Like This" were written by Soraya in tribute to her mother. I thought the song was about a romance between a man and a woman. After I learned that it was about Soraya's love for her mother, her mother's long battle with cancer, and the night her mother died, the lyrics made more sense to me. It brought tears to my eyes.
