About the Artist

Natalia Jimenez: Voice
Ángel Reyero: Guitar

There are bands with interesting back-stories and without a doubt “La 5ª Estación” is one of them.
They have made Mexico their home, where they live, create and play their songs … “We believed in the project,” comments Natalia. “When we still didn’t have anything we would imagine that it would be well received in Latin America, but we never thought that we’d cross the Atlantic so fast. All of a sudden we got a contact in Mexico and we went there to record.”

By the end of 2002, they had recorded their first album in Madrid. Entitled, “Primera Toma,” the album was solely released in Mexico. The first single, “Donde Iran,” was chosen as the soundtrack for the youth soap opera “Clase 406.”

In February 2004 “Flores de Alquiler,” their second album, which the band chose to produce entirely in Mexico, was completed. It included eleven fresh self-authored songs that definitely reflected their enormous growth on both, a musical and a poetic level.

“Flores de Alquiler” earned the band innumerable honors and achievements: La 5ª. Estacion hit Double Platinum in Mexico and United States. They were given several important recognitions such as the Billboard Award for “Best Latin Pop Airplay, New Generation,” (“Algo Mas”); ASCAP (The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) United States’s “Best Rock Song” award; and the “Orgullosamente Latino, People’s Choice 2005” award in the “Best Latin Group” category (an award voted on by the Ritmoson Latino channel’s TV audience). The album’s success was totally reflected by the extraordinary sold-out concert they gave at the Metropolitan Theater in Mexico City in April 2005.

At the end of that same year, they recorded their first live acoustic record, entitled “Acústico, La Quinta Estación,” with versions of hits such as “Perdición,” “Daria,” “El Sol No Regresa,” “Algo Más” and “Niña.” The album reached Platinum in Mexico and United States, selling over 200,000 copies.

Their live sound has become characterized for being powerful and vibrant, something they have proven in more than two years of touring important venues while touring Latin America, the United States and Spain.

In 2006, their growth process continued coinciding with the cutting of “El Mundo se Equivoca.” This positioned them further in all the territories during 2006 and 2007, with more than 30 concerts per year during each summer.

In 2007, as a result of their incredible job on this album, they received a number of honors and awards including the Latin Grammy for “Best Pop Album by a Group or Duo.”

In 2008, during “El Mundo Se Equivoca” tour they performed over 30 sold out shows in Spain, earning them total recognition and success in their homeland, where their album reigned the top of the charts of Spain’s highest-selling albums for over 81 weeks.

It is in this way that these “immigrants of music” have earned an important place in the music scenes in Mexico, Spain and Latin America. With a career full of hits and awards, now “La Quinta Estación” returns with a new and extraordinary album entitled “SIN FRENOS.”

Product Description

Natalia Jimenez and Angel Reyero are back after their very successful album El Mundo Se Equivoca. Now, they return with their fourth new album, Sin Frenos.

La Quinta Estacion has received numerous awards including a Latin Grammy and Billboard award plus many more throughout their career.

The new album includes 12 tracks written by Angel and Natalia and features powerful songs plus great ballads with the unmistakable and already classic voice of their lead singer. The mix of pop rock and Mexican sounds that made them so popular are also part of this new work.

Armando Avila produced Sin Frenos as well as three other studio albums and his participation guarantess the quality and style of this release.

La Quinta Estacion is no doubt one of the most important pop rock groups to emerge in the last few years in the Latin region, U.S. and Spain. Their songs are radio classics and part of the catalog of music for many fans. This new album won't be the exception and will be one of the most important albums for Latin music in 2009.

I got 'addicted' to La Quinta Estacion's music when I first heard the pop song Daria from their CD Flores de Alquiler. I bought that album and was blown away from songs I found on it (my favorites: Niña, Daria and Rompe El Mar). The next CD was the CD/DVD Acustico, containing 'unplugged' live versions of most songs from Flores de Alquiler plus the beautiful ballad Perdicion. I think I have seen the DVD over a 100 times as it became my (then) 1 year old daughter's favorite video on the PSP. I couldn't wait for the next CD (El Mundo se Equivoca) and was not disappointed when I first heard it. A perfect balance of pop, ballads, rock en mexipop. I started visiting their concerts in various countries and realized I now really was a fan.. The concerts are great and full of emotion. Natalia has a strong voice and knows how to play with the audience. Go see them whenever you get a chance! And now we have Sin Frenos. Another great album. As with most great albums, you need to listen to it a couple of times to start recognizing the beauty of it. My favorite songs so far: Recuerdame, Engañame and Me Dueles. I just saw their live show in Santo Domingo, singing for the first time songs from this new CD and they were received very well by the audience. Don't hesitate, just buy the CD and prepare yourself for becoming an La Quinta Estacion addict too...

This review is from: Sin Frenos (Audio CD)

An amazing album of Spanish language music that varies from energetic and catchy pop to traditional Mexican music. Every song is worthy of being a single, there is no filler in this album. On top of all this, my personal Best Song of 2009 - the Recuerdame duet with Marc Anthony. Just get it.

Great collection of songs. I've had several people recommend La 5a Estacion to me because of my fondness for Amaral. While I still don't see much resemblance except for the superficial (vocals by a strong female voice, Spanish origin), I've come to appreciate La 5a Estacion for what they are. This album is a great mix of strong pop songs and more traditional Mexican-sounding songs, which works very well. Natalia Jimenez has a very strong, forceful voice that energizes the listener while still being quite pleasant to listen to. I have to comment on the similarity of her voice to the late Rocio Durcal's on certain songs - "Me Dueles," "Es Cierto, and especially "Quiereme Mucho." I don't know if this was a deliberate homage to another Spaniard who found musical success in Mexico, or just a lucky (at least for me) coincidence. I really enjoyed this album (I downloaded it via Amazon's MP3 store) and look forward to more great music from this group.
