5.0 out of 5 stars A CD You Can Enjoy Often, June 20, 2007

I had searched & waited for a Chingon CD since the Kill Bill movies showcased Chingon. I was not disappointed.

To draw a more critical eye... I would have enjoyed more songs like the terrific, UPTEMPO, opener, Se Me Paro.

Overall, the tone of the CD is rather soft & mellow. The amazing guitar(s) working together, however, create a very rich sound. This is definately not a dull CD, and lends itself to multiple playbacks. I've played it alot in the couple weeks I've owned this CD, and I have not habituated to it yet.

Heh, I have no understanding of Spanish, but Malaguena Salerosa is beautiful & perhaps the best song on the CD, Siente Mi Amor is close behind.

Does the CD have filler??? Yeah, but some might enjoy the two duds. The english lyrics of Bajo Sexto (track 7) and last song, intrumental Cuka Rocka (track 11).... Neither belong or seem to fit on this CD. Bajo Sexto is a fine song, but they should have kept it all Spanish. Cuka Rocka is clearly just filler and just does not work as a follow up act to impressive track 10 (Siente Mi Amor)

Someone fluent in Spanish would be a better reviewer... My lack of Spanish gives the vocals, for me, a more abstract expression. Maybe that is why I can listen to the CD so much.

As far as personal bias... I really enjoy great guitar work found in blues and rock from artists as diverse as David Gogo's electric & acoustic work to Satriani, Petrucci, Dave Martone, or working bands like Joe Bonamassa or Albert Cummings.

I'd been looking for a really amazing version of Malaguena Salerosa, then I saw Kill Bill and saw that they'd done an amazing job covering a great classic.
What a great band!

I downloaded this album only a couple days ago, but I can't stop listening to it. When I turn it off I keep hearing it in my head and I have to play it again... I have no idea what they're saying, but it doesn't matter. The melody, the harmony, the rhythm are all perfect. These collections of songs are more than just some people playing notes. All of these songs are performed by musicians that really enjoy playing them, and their emotion and enthusiasm shows. Now I have to go learn Spanish just so I can understand what they're singing about...
