5.0 out of 5 stars Truly groundbreaking - a first class Latino fusion project., October 14, 2008

By	Charles de Coster (Dortmund, Ruhr Valley Germany) - See all my reviews

This album is one of the best Latino albums I've heard in years, and I listen to and own quite a lot of Latino records, both old and new. This group are to 2008 what Santana was in the 70s: they offer an exciting, up-to-date brew of Latin styles that congeal into the most powerful sound around. The thundering percussion throughout is unrivalled in contemporary rock music - be sure to play it loud, and if your vecinos complain, invite them a la fiesta! The infectious 'Bacalao con Pan' alone is worth the price of the whole CD, but there are lots of other gems, too. Muy rico, muy caliente, sobresaliente!

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't stop tapping my toes, March 4, 2009

By	Theophilus "Train Guy" (Anaheim, CA) - See all my reviews

From the first song on the album, I was hooked. The energy and the talent of Grupo Fantasma is overwhelming.
Having seen them on Austin City Limits, I had been impressed with the group, especially how tight their performance was. They have great talent top to bottom, and they genuinely look to be having a great time. They don't have a lot of albums out there right now, but this is is definitely representative of their quality.

4.0 out of 5 stars Grupo Fantasma, September 5, 2008

By	Alex Berger (Maine) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This summer I saw Grupo Fantasma live at the Montreal Jazz festival. They gave a very good performance which compelled me to purchase this c.d. The tracks are upbeat and engaging. There is a good mix of vocals and soloing with the different instruments. I will definitely look into buying more of their albums.
