A lot of Mexican Alternative rock bands are a lot like their American counterparts, with their power chords and flashy guitar licks. Thankfully, that's not the case with this energetic ensemble, which hails from Monterrey, Mexico. Of course, they rock out with the best of them, but they also fuse musical idioms from the Caribbean, South America and their own country iinto their sizzling sonic stew. With Hernandez brothers, Tony and Cano fronting on guitars and vocals, the band, whose name means "The Grand Silence" in English, shows us of how to make multilingual, bordless music. "Recuerdo De Lluvia" is motored with the Arabic darbuka drum, while the title track, the Colombian-influenced "Cumbia Muffin" and the peppery huanpango--grooved "Venadito Callejero" are laced with spicy Jamaican ska/dancehall/rap-style lyrics. Their music may be global, but their song speaks for the so-called Chúntaros, the poor youth of Northeast Mexico. Through El Gran Silencio, their voices are silent no more. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

I understand that many people may not find this release as good as the previous one because it is not as catchy, however, I believe it to be more than outstanding. I start playing and cannot stop. The lyrics are unbelievable. It talks to those of us in our early thirties. The mixing of rythms is so refined. I am very difficult to please, but this album has done it. A TRUE CLASSIC!

Este disco no es igual a los otros (de hecho 4 estrellas en vez de 5). Sin embargo, como siempre, El Gran Silencio te hacen mover.

La mezcla de sonidos y tipos de musica es algo que me gusta bastante.
