The Miami-based Colombian pop/rock/tropical fusionists Bacilos evolve with a new maturity on this 12-track CD. Singer/songwriter Jorge Villamizar eschews simple romantic pop fare for something more in line with his 30-something perspective. Sin Verguenza offers commentary on issues of social-political import ("Sangre Americana"), cocaine wars ("La Olla"), and innocent times ("En Los '70s"). The usual Bacilos tools are in full bloom from cool vocal harmonies and crisp melodic hooks to rocking guitars and party dance rhythms, all spiced by the occasional horns, violins, and banjos. "Miro La Luna y Pienso en ti," is an instantly catchy tropical bolero. The feeling throughout is a relaxed joy. There's the laid-back Beatlesque rhythms of "Colores Colores," a simple tune about racial unity, fueled by the sharp banjo picking by Brazilian producer Tom Capone. Another highlight is "Porque Brillamos," a slow, guitar-fueled song where Villamizar philosophically questions the intent and the limits of love. --Ramiro Burr

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it, October 25, 2004

By	Mateo "mateo1216" (Milwaukee, WI) - See all my reviews

A great album. Wonderful music and great lyrics. A little darker tone than the previous albums but just as catchy and even more profund the lyrics. Looks like they`ve matured musically and are trying a few new things with great results. Los Sententas and Paso de Gigante, En Algun Recuerdo are stars but the entire album is great. You won`t regret buying this gem.

Bien chingon el disco. La musica esta hermosa y la letra buena. Un poco mas oscuro que los demas pero bien chido la musica y mas profundo la letra. Tratan unas cosas nuevas y sale muy bien. Los Setentas, Paso de gigante, en algun recuerdo son bien chidos pero la neta todo el disco esta buena. No vas a repentir comprando este disco.

This album is great... Bacilos continues to evolve into new music styles and delivers a great musical mix that once again shows their ability to deliver on so many styles. "Porque Brillamos" is my favorite song.
