I closed my eyes listening to this fantastic CD, I went back in time a January 5, in casa de mi tia (in my aunt house) for her traditional velorio de reyes. The quality of the recording is excellent. Since I worked for 10 years in the same home town where this CD was recorded Moca Puerto Rico, I saw some familiar faces on the cover of the CD. Thanks AMAZON, for bringin us those hard to find music...

In listening to this CD brings out the Puertorican in me, our music so lively and sentimental and so full of culture. To me is the most beloved in the world. As a musician and a music major, listening to this CD denotes and gives the feeling of being in the island partying during the holidays. I can use this music and sample it to create a whole new vibe adjusting its rithyms and lyrics to compose a new sound that me and my fellow musical companions can create Funky rican sounds that can be delightfull and enjoyable for all to hear. This music shares the essance of our culture, Long live our people our culture and our values.

This album brought tears to eyes and a warmth to my soul. I was born and my early childhood was spent in the mountains of Corozal. This is the music of my ancestors and brings us back to a culture and lifestyle of the longer is.
