This is more than music; it's an inspiration for the arts. Chichi Peralta explores the intricate secrets of Afro-Caribbean sounds by mixing them with traditional and modern acustic and electric elements to create a whole environment with lyrics that complete a circle of listening pleasure. The percussion is amazing. This album will inspire anyone.

Wow! What an album, what a singer, what a collection of supreme salsa! I thought no one woiuld ever come close to Juan Luis Guerra as a poet and singer, but Chichi Peralta comes close! His music captures the same joyous feeling that Guerra has perfected. "Amor Narcotico" is simply put, one of the best dance tracks ever, with a percolating rythm and lovely lyrics that are fresh, warm and happy - a perfect combination of love and longing that transcends the genre and makes for tremendous fun. The rest of the album doesn't disappoint. In fact, it extends the singer's passion and irresistable good nature with lyrical dance music that also sends a message. I love this album, and heartily recommend it! A true pleasure!

5.0 out of 5 stars SIMPLEMENTE UNICO!!!, September 19, 2000

Wow! Este CD esta increiblemente bueno. Desde que escuchas el primer tema notaras que Chichi Peralta + Son Familia no son otro grupo mas de merengue. El merengue de Chichi Peralta no es uno comun, si no que tiene una mezcla de ritmos tropicales pero todos con el sabor del merengue. Un estilo muy parecido al de Juan Luis Guerra y el Grupo 4:40. En esta su primera produccion discografica como solista, luego de pertenecer a la orquesta de Juan Luis Guerra, Chichi nos regala un trabajo de una gran calidad. Cuando un disco esta tan bueno es muy dificil escoger los mejores temas, pero me atrevo a decir que los mejores temas del disco lo son "Amor Narcotico", "La Ciguapa", "Sol De Verano", "Ella Tiene", "Me Enamore" y "Limon Con Sal", pero vuelvo y repito que todos los temas son excelentes. Vale la pena decir que los temas "Sol De Verano", "Amor Narcotico" y "Limon Con Sal" son sumamente romanticos y apasionados. Luego de escuchar este disco diras "Que bueno esta el CD!!!". Si te gusta la buena musica y este es tu disco favorito. Tambien recomiendo "Pasional" de Jessica Cristina, "Juntos" de Sergio Vargas y Gisselle, "Con Loco Amor" de Maldo, "Ni Es Lo Mismo, Ni Es Igual" de Juan Luis Guerra, "Que Hable La Musica" de Marco Hernandez y "Vive" de Milly Quezada.
