The debut CD from the Miami-based Cuban-American singer-songwriter Jorge Moreno is an excellent introduction to the Latin singing sensation who may one day rival the likes of Marc Anthony and Jon Secada. Moreno grew up listening to Cuban, British, and American music. These influences, which are melded by Moreno into a sonic stew he calls "tropical alternative hip-hop rock," are heard throughout this recording. Being a Latino, Moreno gives us a haunting bolero entitled "Reloj," which contrasts with the equally endearing ballads "Despertaré" and "Volver a Empezar." "16" reveals Moreno's Beatles-influenced pop side, while "Ella" shows how he handles hip-hop beats. The standout track is Moreno's rousing remake of Desi Arnaz's classic Cuban conga "Babalu," which Moreno played on a program celebrating the 50th anniversary of I Love Lucy. Moreno's silky tenor voice, along with his genre-crossing songs, ensures future success. --Eugene Holley Jr.

Este disco es para la gente que le gusta la música de los Beatles, el rock de los años sesenta en general, el rock alternativo y la música latina. Moreno escribió todas las canciones excepto «Babalú», su versión de una canción clásica, y todas son bien divertidas y diferentes. Creo que este talentoso músico va a tener mucho éxito en el futuro.

I first heard Moreno live on Cinco de Mayo. The energy, the rhythm, the voice was fantastic. I bought his newest El Seguendo right then and there and then hit the web to find more. The music sticks with you. It's a great way to get lifted up on a dull day. Moreno's voice is unique and very distinguishable. I'm so impressed I've bought the CD and sent it to friends.
