Todos los Flores, September 30, 2002
This review is from: Muchas Flores (Audio CD)
Es el cuarto o quinto album de Rosario, y ahora busca un sonido diferente basandose en lo que conoce y sabe que es su musica. No tiene la frescura Jazz de 'De ley,' ni tampo lo flamenco de 'Siento,' pero si busca una identidad muy 'pop' llena de contrastes de todos los Flores. Es un disco con muchos fantasmas: la musica de su padre, la voz de una Lola joven, el sentimiento de las letras de Antonio, un poco de Lolita del principio. Lo bello del album es que Rosario se da cuenta que solo puede llegar a cantar aquello que conoce, el experimento rock de 'Jugar a la locura' fue solo eso, un experimento mas. Ahora, se viste de gitana, se alahaja con sus recuerdos y talentos familiares y deja que su voz, la interna y la del cante, floresca. Hay temas frescos y bullangueros, y otros romanticos llenos de dulzura y sensualidad. Su voz canela seduce.

This is Rosario's fourth or fifth album, she looks for a new sound based on what she already knows is her music. It does not have the Jazzy freshness of 'De ley,' nor the flamenco of 'Siento,' but it aims towards a pop blend filled with the contrasts of the Flores family. It's a record with lots of ghosts: her late father's music; the young voice of her late mother, Lola; the feeling of her late brother Antonio's lyrics; and a bit of her sister's, Lolita, early work. The beauty of this album is that Rosario realizes that she can only sing about that she knows best, leaves behind the rock 'experiment' of 'Jugar a la locura,' as just that an experiment. Now she dresses herself as a gypsy, jewels herself with her memories and family's talent legacy, and lets her voice -internal and song- blossom. There are songs that are fresh and happy, and others romantic filled with sweetness and sensuality. Her cinnamon voice seduces.

Poetic Music, July 6, 2005
I spend three months looking for this CD and couldn't find it anywhere. I heard one of the songs "Agual y Sal" or Salt and water as it would be called in english in one of the spanish soap-operas I used to see. I absolutely love this song but once I heard the samples of all the other tracks I fell in love with many of them...such as: Rosa y Miel, Al Son del Tambor, Tuyo Siempre, muchas flores, and lets not forget La Casa en el Aire. I'd never heard of Rosario Flores in my life...until then! So, like I was saying...the song of "Agua y Sal" is so special to me. I relate to it completely, and more than poetic is my life right there and then. I recomended this CD to anyone that's a hopeless romantic!

World class sound, September 7, 2003

This review is from: Muchas Flores (Audio CD)
Esta mujer si que sabe de musica. Recordando el talento de la gran Lola Flores, ahora veo que ROSARIO con mucho señorio a capturado la herencia artistica de su familia. Un talento indiscutible. Este disco es estupendo. Se lo recomindo a todos. Even if your first language is not Spanish, this CD will provide sounds that already seems familiar to you. My husband and i absolutely love it.
