There really isn't much wrong with this CD. The performance by Vicente is strong and the music is very well played. It's just the songs are not as good as most of Chente's work. They just don't have hooks to pull you into the listening.
I did enjoy "Motivos" and "Vagabundo" will definately keep your toe tapping. But overall this is not his greatest, and it is the rest of his vast collection of outstanding recordings against which I compare this. Motivos has it's moments but falls short by "El Rey" standards.

This disc features Chente delivering a nice crop of love songs. The theme is love both present and past, found and lost. There is a certain melancholy ring to these songs. If you are familiar with these songs you will probably appreciate Chente's versions. Beginning with the bolero, "Motivos" the romantic table is set, turn down the lights and enjoy the company of that special someone. Especially tasty numbers include "Esclavo de Amor" that features a beautiful Chente voice in different ranges, the romantic "Motivos" that features nice string and horn arrangements,the soft yet strong "Aquella Edad" where Chente gets so emotional he sounds like he's going to cry and the best song featured here "Vagabundo" made famous by Javier Solis, takes no second place to Javier Solis as Chente demonstrates his fine pipes can be toned down for exceptional music even with his gritos thrown in. This is a good collection of Chente music that fits into the bolero mold or as they are known, ballads. Recommended for romantic nights. La Musica es Cultura(The music is culture).
