An exciting CD that's not to be missed

Gloria's second Spanish release has to be her most exciting (along with 1998's Gloria!) The songs have a very authentic Latin sound. It's almost like she took the last song from Mi Tierra and continued on with the songs on Abriendo Puertas.

The songs have a New Year's and Christmas theme, with messages about starting over, sending good wishes, as well as about just having fun. "Mas Alla" is the softest number, so lovely it brings a tear to your eye. "Farolito" is the most interesting, because of its tribal blend of chanting and rhythmic hand claps.

There are many different Latin and Caribbean styles, which Gloria has written about prior to the lyrics of each song. She tells what styles you'll hear in the particular song, where they come from, and the instruments that are used to get a particular sound.

This one isn't translated like her two other Spanish CD's are. So, even though you may not get the lyrics, the message of loving life is clear throughout the entire CD.

FANTASTIK AWESOME

This is the best spanish CD EVER I recommed it you wont be dissapointed.

Love this one, too.

Not quite as much as "Mi Terra", but I do like this one a lot. Her voice is beautiful on this one, also. A different kind of variety. I'm glad it bought this. Gloria, más español CDs, por favor.
