Wow! This album is fantastic! I first heard a cut off this CD at MP3.com and immediately wanted to hear more! It has a wonderful mix of Latin Salsa and English lyrics that makes it "Muy Caliente"! The instrumental arrangements are superb and Faith Rivera's vocals are... well... "Aye,Aye,Aye"! I especially like Frank Garcia's "Bailarina" - it has some great spanish guitar pickin'! Bring on the Flamenco dancers! And their version of "Hang on Sloopy" will have your toes tapping! This album has a very professional, polished sound. Get it now! This groups gonna be BIG!

5.0 out of 5 stars A sheer joy to the ears, February 23, 2000

This cd is (to my surprise) consistent all the way through. Undertow is a masterpiece, very reminiscent of Santana. The CD "ROCKS" love it. My kind of Salsa with English lyrics for these old non spanish speaking ears.

does anyone remember a 45 version of "like they say in l.a." b/w "linda chicana" by a group called east l.a. carpool in the late 70's? i use to have the 45 but lost it a few years ago. brings back many memories of hearing "like they say in l.a." on my old stereo back home in the central valley! great to hear it in this rerecorded version. wish i could get the original version.
