5.0 out of 5 stars Reggae in da Gaucho stylee, June 17, 2006

Los Pericos is an Argenitinean band that, on this particular CD, combines incredible reggae with touches of latin and afro-cuban rhythms. I know it sounds too eclectic to work, but it really does. Tight horn charts, cool guitar solos, skanking drums and bass. The grooves are definitely Jamaican in origin, and the lyrics are primarily in Spanish, but the overall effect is a dizzying concoction that demands you slide it into your car's CD player, roll down the windows and head for the beach, mon.

I bought this Cd when it was released in 1994, it was the first Pericos' cd that I had. I decided to buy it again because This new version is remastered, all the songs sounds great. it also contained three aditional songs such as, Bufallo Soldier (from Bob Marley),Waiting on a friend and Kaya, 'this last three in live version' Is the oportunity to hear the new sound of that hits such as, Mucha Experiencia, Parate Y Mira, Mas Cerca Del Cielo, Runaway, Su Galan and more! I recomended Do not miss it please!!!

Este es un reggae diferente, original. Cuando primero lo escuche me sono un poco raro, pero despues me acostumbre, y esto es oro. Ellos no tienen miedo a cambiar el ritmo, pues mezclan el reggae con salsa y batucada. Su estilo de tocar los metales tambien los pone aparte de la mayoria, con influencias notables latinoamericanas.

Las liricas son mas parecidas a un grupo de rock que uno de reggae. No cantan de temas sociales, mas bien muchas canciones de relaciones, pero tambien le dan variedad con unas liricas de que se siente raro cuando parte de su pais con todo y que el tango no es para el. El cantante tiene una influencia de la entonacion Jamaiquina, y su voz termina sonando como una mezcla de El General y Sublime.

Un problema que ha veces tengo con albumes de reggae es que tienden a ponerse repetitivos. Este no, lo puedo escuchar de principio a fin.
