5.0 out of 5 stars "Songbirds & Roosters" is pure poetry, July 19, 2001

By 

Michele Howerton-Vargas (Carbondale, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Songbirds & Roosters (English Version) (Audio CD)

"Songbirds & Roosters" haunts the heart and mind with lyrics, ripe with poetic images. Rosa's own description of his song writing process as setting poems to music is no hyperbole. These lyrics are poetry. Although Rosa's ability to explore the dark, edgier side is obvious in hit songs like "Livin' La Vida Loca," which he co-wrote for Ricky Martin, the 11 tracks on "Songbirds & Roosters" dig deeper into the dark recesses of the soul. The lyrics on tracks such as "Junkie," "Lifeless Clown" and "Nymph" reveal a unique ability on Rosa's part to combine dark poetic images with haunting phrases such as "songbirds & roosters are dancing in my veins" and "spooning the butterflies I would die for you." The combination of acoustic and electric guitar on tracks such as Rosa Maria (Cruzando Puertas) is startling and yet romantic. His voice is soft, deep and comforting. Can't wait to hear what comes next from this artist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this album completely!Pure exhibition of Draco's talent, November 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Songbirds & Roosters (English Version) (Audio CD)

Draco has combined the most beautiful music from "Frio" with amazingly deep and dark lyrics that make a classic blend of the music that never wears off. The echo of these haunting musical arrangements will stay with me forever. This album is a the creation of a gifted song writer, musician and producer. Most especially enjoy Draco's talents on "Junkie" & "Mourning Gun"

5.0 out of 5 stars Songbirds and Roosters, February 15, 2003

This review is from: Songbirds & Roosters (English Version) (Audio CD)

In this CD you will find the same melodies from "Frio" but with different lyrics what makes it very interesting cause who can make a Cd with old music and at the same time make all new with fresh lyrics... It is amazing how he portrays all his life in this Cd....Like he mostly do... songs that I like from this work are Blindman's parade, Nymph, Lifeless Clown.
