I really want to say this is an excellent woman and a fantastic singer. It includes the song PENA DE AMOR Y MUERTE (Death and Love Penalty) whcih is a song from a Soap opera where she stars with an Argentinian guy. It is about a rich, middle-aged woman owner of a big farm, who falls in love with a 20-year-old guy and he is the guy in charge of dealing with all the animals and fruits. They live a beautiful romance but in a small town in the early 60's that is terrible. Their love is not well-accepted and they suffer so much. The name of the soap opera is PUEBLO CHICO,INFIERNO GRANDE (Small Town, Big Hell). It is an excellent production that unfortunately it wasn's a success because it was a topic so complicated for 1996 in Mexican Society. Hope you get the chance of having it and listening to it. VERONICA CASTRO is a real Mexican legend and she deserves the great place people haven't given to her yet.

Disfruté completamente de este álbum. Aquí están las listas de canciones:

1. Ritmo de la Noche
2. Me Haces Falta Amor
3. Pero Como Voy a Olvidar
4. Cameron Que Se Duerme
5. Ya Me Voy
6. Que Tu Ya No Me Quieres
7. Acercate a Mi
8. Tengo Que Decirte Adios
9. Ne Debo Amarte
10. Sueña Conmigo (Se Orgulloso)
11. Pena de Amor y Muerte

This production is a mix of different styles and genres: Mariachi, Techno-Cumbia, Cumbias, Pop-Ballad. The sound is very much like Selena Quintanilla's music, greatly in part because Selena's brother, A.B. Quintanilla is the producer for the exception of the last track 'Pena De Amor Y Muerte' (Sentence of love and Death) which is by renowned producer/composer Juan Carlos Calderon. There is a difference between the first 9 tracks and the last track, almost as if that last track was thrown in the production in a moment's decision (which it was.) Coincidentally this track was used as the theme song for Veronica Castro's novela (soap Opera) 'Pueblo Chico Infierno Grande'

If you like Selena's music you might like this CD, although, it has no particular theme or direction. The best song by far is 'Pena De Amor y Muerte' which I know you'll enjoy its beautiful lyrics and arrangements. Juan Carlos Calderon, the producer and writer is also behind the successes of Mocedades, Maria Conchita Alonso, Luis Miguel, Alejandra Avalos and many more.
