5.0 out of 5 stars Salsa+Ska Simply Fantastic!!!, April 28, 1999

This review is from: De Abajo (Audio CD)

Here is another wonderful musical group of completely innovative yet orgainc latin sounds. This album does not have a mediocre and idle moment. If you like Manu Chao, Fatal Mambo, Cafe Tacuba or Altercioplados, you will love their music.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the greatest music ever!!!, May 27, 1999

It is not an understatement to say that Los De Abajo have covered more musical territory on one song (El Emigrado) than many artists cover over an entire career. In just this song, they explore ska, salsa, swing, klezmer, funk and punk. The rest of the album is really good too: from the exciting "Pepepez" to the soulful jazz saxaphone amidst the reggae tune "Sueños Añejos," this album is fantastic! Los de Abajo manage to make every single minute of the CD memorable and interesting. Buy it now!

This review is from: Los De Abajo (Audio CD)

I came back from the esperanzah!festival in Belgium and we saw this band live. Nobody out here heard about them before this incredible night. The 3,000 people who were there will never forget those boys, under the umbrellas the environment was sublime, all these people jumping all around. I swear it the 3,000 people lucky to be there were dancing for 1h30 completely wet. Maybe the singer is a little too "Ricky Martin" for me, but don't hesitate to buy the album and most of it, go to see them live, their performance is a true hurricane....
And most of it, we talk with those guys, smoke some pots with them and they're so cool and keep their head out of the buisness, and make music for the love of it and that's the most important...
Peace to all of you and keep smiling
