5.0 out of 5 stars A True Fusion of Soulful Rock and Rumba Flamenca, January 30, 2002

This review is from: Estopa (Audio CD)

Being a Spaniard raised in the U.S. I think that I can truly, knowing both cultures, give a fair assessment of ESTOPA. I disagree with the man who reviewed ESTOPA as a mere boy band. This band is gritty, from Spain's urban working class culture, if they were from the UK they'd be gritty Eastender type guys, if they were a band from the US they'd be thought more as Third Eye Blind or the Counting Crows. However, they are none of these because they are from Spain so they have managed to mix soulful hardhitting rock tones with rumba flamenca. They have transformed "rock en español" from merely being rock sung in Spanish, to rock with real rumba flamenca backbeats and melded the actual two forms of music. Furthermore, there lyrics is truly poetic. Reading the lyrics alone without the music is a true pleasure. Not having been back in Spain over a year I had unfortunately missed this wonderful group. I saw there video on MTV in español and was hooked, not just by the music, and lyrics but also by the soulful, heart felt interpretation of David Muñoz. David si leés esto tienes una fan en EEUU que piensa que eres uno de los mas intensos interpretes en el mundo de la musica.

This album, together with Destrangis, their sophmore album, comprise one of the funkiest and funnest pop releases of the last two years. The Lyrics are funny but often deep and moving. The style is varied and the sound is flamenco but with a big twist. You dont have anything like this this in your collection, i guarantee it. Even the 30 second cuts you get on Amazon will give you some idea of what you are in for. Happy listening...

Estopa es uno de esos grupos que son realmente autenticos. Si mantienen su estilo personal tendran en mi a un seguidor incondicional. Su segundo disco es buenisimo, no os lo perdais.
