5.0 out of 5 stars ¡Esta música nos refresca!, February 28, 2008
This review is from: Raro (Audio CD)
El Cuarteto de Nos es un grupo de roqueros uruguayos ya viejitos, como yo, pero ¡seguimos al rojo vivo! Aún más sagaces por los años (han estado juntos desde 1984), este equipo toca con toda la energía de jóvenes. Junto con sus videos increíbles, su música nos entretiene de manera liviana y a la vez graciosa. Su letra nos mata de risas, su sitio de la Internet se burla de nos y no perdona nada de seriedad. Para los aficionados de rock en español, esta música consta de más que el chicle para los oídos que escuchamos a cada rato por medio de la industria que solamente consiente al pueblo.

Que vos pongás pensando en las siguientes: "Yendo a la casa de Damián" es una maravilla del impacto de la cultura angloparlante, y cuenta con frases que tanto valoráramos, como "cuando escribí en una hoja de block / que era más fea que el señor Spok" y "y de la vida me declaré out". "Ya no sé qué hacer conmigo" sigue un lema de los grandes que todavía no han dejado la niñez por completo, "me tatué un Che en una nalga, arriba de mami para que no se salga". Además, hay "Nada es gratis en la vida", por supuesto que sí que es la verdad, así que todo que valga la pena nos ha costado trabajo.

Este disco corresponde a vos cambiando cada vez por un escuchazo más vigente. Ya es hora apoyar algo más de sustancia, ¿lo pensás? Rock en español tiene dialectos, y éste desde Uruguay nos es grato.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Spanish Language Pop, March 18, 2009
This review is from: Raro (Audio CD)
I was in a record store in Madrid and the cover of "Raro" caught my eye. I had never heard of the group, but gave them a listen and was hooked from the very first hook. I must have listened to the CD over 50 times in the first couple of months.

If you speak Spanish, the lyrics are funny and clever. I lived in Madrid for several years back in the 80's and 90's. (El Cuarteto de Nos is from Uruguay, by the way) I have listened to a lot of Spanish pop, but never run across anything as sophistated lyric-wise as Dylan, Elvis Costello or Joni Mitchell. El Cuarteto is not up to that level, either, but it is way beyond your ususal Spanish pop fare.

And if you don't speak Spanish, El Cuarteto de Nos still rocks with an abandon that belies the age of the group. It's hard to believe that a CD that is so enthusiastic and vibrant is from a group that has been around for over 20 years.

Some songs are kind of lame. This isn't a CD of winners from beginning to end. Also, El Cuarteto employs a kind of rap style on some songs that would seem awkward coming from a group with less talent, but they manage to pull it off.

This CD can rock. Good hooks. Interesting lyrics. A very good example of how good Spanish pop/rock can be.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best latin band, June 21, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Raro (Audio CD)
This is a very interesting latin rock band, melting indie and hip hop, with acid rather crazy lyrics, Raro ("Strange") is a nicely produced record, if you like rock in a different point of view, listen and agree with me.
