Mexican-American vocalist Yolanda Aranda and native Argentinean guitarist Enrique Coria smoothly collaborate to produce fifteen recordings of beauty and simplicity that raise the standards of romantic Latin American Canciones to the level a high musical art in Intimo. The superbly performed pieces comprising Intimo include: Dos Arbolitos (3:04); La Pucha Con El Hombre (3:37); Cu Cu rru Cu Cu Paloma (3:39); Lela (3:32); Rayito De Luna (3:01); El Puente De Los Suspiros (3:00); Mi Mexico De Ayer (3:49); Quiero Ser Tu Sombra (4:06); Si Tu Tambien Te Vas (2:31); Cancion De Las Simples Cosas (4:08); La Malaguena (3:56); Dicha Santiaguena (2:29); Cancion Mixteca (3:40); Perfume De Carnaval (3:21); Concierto para Una Sola Voz (4:03). Total Time: 52.18

5.0 out of 5 stars A Phenomenal Journey from Rio Bravo to Rio de la Plata, January 30, 2004

Yolanda and Enrique offer us this true Latin American musical embrace. Although I knew of Enrique Coria's masterful guitar style, this lyrical duo with Yolanda Aranda really exceeded everything I expected. The trained voice of Yolanda takes us through zambas and huapangos with passion and subtleties. My favorite tunes are La Malagüeña (where Yolanda shows the real pitch of her voice) and La Canción Mixteca. Chava Flores' Mi México de Ayer is also really moving. In La Pucha con el Hombre (a great escondido in the tradition of Los Carabajal), Yolanda may not compete with my paisana Mercedes Sosa, yet her voice really shines. In summary, this is one of the best Latin American musical partnerships I heard in the last years: an homage to the everlasting Latin American musical tradition.
