I'm amazed at how "el sol" can still sing his heart out in every single song in the album! Being his first mariachi album, it came out as everyone expected it...EXCELLENT. "Entrega Total", "Un mundo raro", "Cielo Rojo" being my personal favs! Way to go LM!

..
First and foremost, Luis Miguel is mexican, raised in México, formed as an artist in México, mexican by own choice also.

I never really appreciated LM's music until I listened his boleros from Agustin Lara, Manzanero, Jose Alfredo, although I always knew his voice is absolutely powerful and unique, but with this one the more I listen the more I like his deeds.....

Luis Miguel has no "boricuan" roots , in that case he could have more italian or spanish roots, but Luis Miguel was born in P. Rico by accident and never lived or wanted to live there....

Now, going back to my review, This álbum is a total masterpiece, performing songs from the best mexican composer like "Un Mundo Raro" and "Paloma Querida" From Jose A. Jimenez (another true mexican), or "Que Seas Feliz" from 'the great' Consuelo Velázquez (mexican) among Many others this álbum takes Luis Miguel to a higher level. From pop singer to Bolero singer and now A true legend that will remain in México's heart for good. On behalf the mexican people from Guadalajara, Congratulations .....Cheers Luis Miguel!! and keep up your style , not too much talking and a lot of singing!!! From your countryman fellows.

To the person who wrote the review about "Boricuan Roots" the álbum title says "Mexico In The Skin" that means roots are 'mexican roots' and there will never be even a "Puerto Rico In My Documents" absolutely never. On your comment saying "this album proves that LM is a very versatile artist" cut it off please , as any mexican, or any Latin american with a bit of cultural aknowledge would know, "La música ranchera" is one of the most beautiful styles, rythms and ways of expression in America, amongst Tango, Bolero, Casino (a.k.a. Salsa) etc. This album only proves Luis Miguel as a mexican paying tribute to his culture, to the great mexican music scene confirming Luis Miguel has an exquisite taste on the songs he will sing next, with which he finally got to this sort of music and the high level his voice demands.

Being from Mexico City I have to say that this CD is an excellent representation of the beautiful and incomparable mariachi music. Most of the songs are classical Mariachi songs that you will hear everywhere in Mexico. Luis Miguel puts his whole soul in each and every one of the songs. Also the arrangements are really good and the whole CD sounds so cheerful and refreshing that you will want to hear it again and again!

I have listened to this album for days in a row being a fan of Luis Miguel's incredible talent as well as loving Mariachi Music as I grew up with several "Mariachis" on my family.

Mexico En La Piel, is that; it touches you in a way that it has not been done since the "Romances" series of Boleros. This is another attempt to mantain our music and culture alive, by one of the most talented singers of our time.

My favorite songs are: Cruz de Olvido, Motivos, Un Mundo Raro and Mexico en la piel.

This is by far one of the best spanish cd's I have heard in a very long time. The entire cd is flawless. The only drawback is that it feels a little to short. Other than that it is a complete success. Luis Miguel is by far one of the best artist among them all in any language. It is very difficult to find a performer that keeps outdoing himself each time. absolutely excellent. very highly recommended.

This is Luis Miguel at his best, his voice bids you to escape from the mundane world.
Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan are the best mariachi in the world.
Every song is super great. The arrangements are fantastic, with all of the guitars,
trumpets, and strings executed perfectly and beautifully, and the recording quality is excellent.

Even though I must admit I am a huge Luis Miguel fan, I must also confess that not all of his CD's have such a powerfull impact on me as his last piece of work, "México en la piel". With supreme arrangements, Luis Miguel manages to revive jewls from the past in a sofisticated maner, deffinately, a must have CD, not only for heart felt Luis Miguel fans, but for anyone who appreciates quality music.

I have to admit that I had to hear the album a couple of times before I realized how great it is. Most of the songs have been performed by various artist before, so its hard to get used to a different version right away. After hearing it a few times you start to enjoy and appreciate the quaility of this production. It is much more than just another Mariachi cover album. This production is great! Luis Miguel as always sounds great and the music arrangements are very creative. This is another collection album such as the "Romances" albums and the songs are remakes, but Luis Miguel gives them the touch of class and makes them his own with his personal style and perfection. A keeper.

Luis Miguel is a great artist. His voice is one of the best if not the best one out there. This cd is great, the melodys the music and the lyrics are just great. Every song is a work of art. I recomend this cd to anyone! It is great buy. I own it and I love it.
Thank you!

Master Work, powerful music. This Album can really show you why he is the artist on top of all others. The pitch and quality make this album elegant and one of a kind. Yet Another Instant Classic.
