Dominican singer-percussionist Chichi Peralta makes De Vuelta al Barrio an international affair. Recorded in the Dominican Republic and England and partially mixed in the U.S., this album also reflects an understanding of world rhythms that allows Peralta to mix and match effortlessly and convincingly. De Vuelta is most successful when Peralta takes the biggest chances: "El Beso de Judas" is a four-minute meld of psychedelic guitar effects, Brazilian percussion, sitar, and droning chant that would bring a smile to Os Mutantes' faces, while "Baila Venga Chichi" is handily and intensely rapped. A few tracks get bogged down in lite-radio clichés, but moments like the child's giggles at the end of "Hasta Que Lo Pierde" underscore the record's status as an intriguingly personal addition to the Latin-pop canon. --Rickey Wright

I have had the pleasure of listening to both of ChiChi's cds and I love them both. This one, however, has reached deep into my soul. The distinctive rhythms and sounds displayed in his music clearly show what an artist he really is.

Thank you ChiChi.

...and listen to this brilliant, soul moving, and magnificent effort. Chichi has done it again! With his De Vuelta Al Barrio Chichi captures the sounds of Latin American and flips them upside down to give us a new sound of his own creation called Fuson. In his very own style Chichi also combines world sounds (Indian and Arabic)and adds a latin flavour. But it's not just the rhythms and music that will conquer your heart for the lyrics beautifully shape the songs. Nostalgic, heart-broken, and love-giving the songs together form a story: Us growing up and remembering the little things that we've forgotten. If you have an ear that is not afraid of something that's contagious, of something that will scratch your past experiences, and something that will show a new world of experience then I highly recommend De Vuelta Al Barrio.
