Well, for years I have been a huge fan of Miguel Bose. He has been an innnovator in Spanish Music, never afarid of trying new things, that eventually, will get imitated by other artists down the road. I always await each new album with anticipation, knowing that i will not be disappointed. However, this new album did just that, disappoint me. What happenned? why is it that artists that have always been on the cutting edge, once they reach a certain age, they go soft and mellow and safe?

Bose, was always trying new things, being different than your run of the mill artists that sing music in Spanish, but with this album he just sounds bored. None of the songs have the magic that some of his songs have had in the past.

Don't get me wrong, I love when he does mellow and melanchollic music, BAjo el Signo de Cain was just that, and also very morose. and Laberinto was just the same way. But in this album, from the moment you put it on until it ends, there is no letting go, it is depressing, I tried to listen to it a few times in a row and I just could not get into it.

It is slow, and boring, and the duet with Alejandro Fernandez has got to be one of the most horrible and mismatch of voices i have ever heard.

as much as i love Bose, and think he is the greatest singer ever, I can not recommend this album to anyone. . He will always be the best in my book, but this record should be skipped

With a lavish production and lush arrangements, this is a smooth, pleasant recording, but with little substance, and like much music of recent vintage, I find it rather weak in melodic content.
Though born in Panama (of distinguished parentage, his father being the great bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguin), singer/actor Miguel Bose is considered a Spaniard and has been recording since 1977, becoming an international superstar with many hits in Latin America and Spain. Bose does not have a strong voice, but a whispery quality that he uses effectively.

There is little "Latin flavor" to this album, it is pure "pop", and other than being sung in Spanish, could have originated anywhere, with the exception of "Habana", which he sings with the fabulous Mexican singer Alejandro Fernandez, who sounds wonderful, and makes this perhaps the most memorable track on the CD. Bose co-wrote "De Momento No" with Jorge Fernandez Ojea, and "El Ilusionista" with Alejandro Sanz. The sound is sumptuous, and total playing time is 41'50.

The musicianship is top-notch, and much credit to what is good about this CD has to go to Chris Cameron, who co-produced with Bose, did many of the arrangements, and pushes this recording to a 4 star rating.
A nice but fairly forgettable collection of songs, that have been polished and presented well, make for a CD that will please, but not captivate the listener.

Este nuevo CD de Miguel Bose es una nueva joya en su larguisima lista de buenas grabaciones. Quiza este disco deberia de haberse llamado "Sereno" (titulo de su anterior grabacion) pues en el se percibe una verdadera serenidad; de principio a fin, Bose nos envuelve en musica sensual, bella, suave.

Si bien este no es precisamente un disco con una propuesta nueva o vanguardista (y no creo que esa haya sido la intencion de Bose), estoy seguro que sera bien recibido por todos aquellos que conocen y han disfrutado de su musica.

Tal vez algo que me sorprendio, y he de confesar que no me emociono mucho, es el duo que hace con Alejandro Fernandez. Pero aun Bose cae ante estrategias de mercado. ¡Nadie es perfecto! Sin embargo, estoy seguro que muchas de las nuevas canciones de este CD se volveran clasicos de la discografia de Miguel Bose, como tantas otras.

I have to say,this is a master piece.Miguel bose has recorded with a orchesta his better songs.Bose knows about fine music.However,I don't like the duet with Alejandro Fernandez.

Better songs:

"Levantate y olvida"

"Olvidame tu"

"De momento"

This cd is more valuable than the sale price.

Ive been following Miguels carrer since I was 9 (38 now). My father being a good friend of the Dominguin-Bose family makes it even better. What a talented artist! I have noumerous of his albums, but with no doubt this is my favorite. It is all Miguel stands for. Innovative, passionate, always reinventing himself, and making you hold your breath till the end.

El sombrero me lo quito "Chapeau Miguel"

I Bought This Cd For The Song With Alejandro Fernandez But I Must Say This Is A Wonderful Cd!!! The Music Sweeps You Away!!! Great Photos!!!! Especially The Cover!!!! The Added Bonus Of Hearing Alejandro Fernandez Is Thrilling!!! Thanks To Alejandro I Have Found Another Wonderful Singer To Enjoy!!!

No es una sorpresa para mi la calidad de este album, ya que Bosé siempre ha sido de lo mas vanguardista y creativo. Hoy, casi a los 50, nos trae un disco muy bien logrado con unos arreglos hasta cierto punto sinfonicos. El primer secillo 'Olvidame tu' es una cancion tipicamente Bosiana: Una letra melancolica, un arreglo exquisito y una mezcla de diversos elementos. Es imposible que Bose cante de esta forma sin haber vivido su vida a su gusto. Abre con una cancion de Sanz y termina grandiosamente con 'Por vos muero,' la musicalizacion del poema de Garcilaso de la Vega, y entre ellos varias sorpresas melodicas.

It is not a surprise for me the quality of this record, since Bose has always been a vanguardist and creative. Today, almost at 50, he brings us a greatly crafted album with almost synphonic arragements. Melancolic lyrics, exquisite arrangmente and a mix of various elements. It is impossible to Bose to sing this way without living his live ot his liking. He opens the record with a song by Sanz, and finishes in a grandiose way with 'Por vos muero,' the musicalization of a poem by Gracilaso de la Vega, and in between a few melodic surprises.

Este nuevo trabajo de Miguel Bose puede ser calificado con una palabra: intimo. La mayoria de los temas inspira melanconlia y seran la compañia perfecta para una tarde lluviosa o para recordar mejores dias. La nueva version de Amiga es sobresaliente, es la misma letra, pero el sentimiento es mucho mas autentico. La versatilidad vocal de Bose muestra una vez mas porque es el icono que es, a pesar de los experimentos colaborativos poco exitosos (Habana con Alejandro Fernandez). Probablemente no es el tipo de musica que sera popular en las estaciones de radio de Hispanoamerica, y no habra muchos bailando sus canciones, pero definitivamente sorprendera agradablemente a los seguidores de Bose. Lo hizo conmigo.

This is a departure from "Sereno" (his previous work - also excellent) and further proves Bosé's ability to reinvent himself without losing his unique style.
The perfect CD to listen on a rainy afternoon, right after a breakup, laying on the sofa, cuddling with your dog and feeling every song, every word, every note.

A very romantic, soft, and marvelous songs with great music.

I recommend tracks # 3, 5, 7 and for the old memories, the new version of song Amiga (# 6)...

Just hear the music and start to dance slowly with your significant other...

Good album!
