I like this set a lot. The quickest explanation for the type of music within would be to call it “Latin music.” The thing is, there is a lot of range within that header and not everything here is restricted to that. Sure, the lyrics are all in Spanish. There are definitely some traditional Latin trappings here and there. The disc stretches past that. I should address the language barrier, too. Let me just say that I had four years of Spanish in school. That was longer than I care to admit, though. So, since I didn’t use it, my comprehension of Spanish is quite limited. Sure, I can understand what most of the titles mean. I can’t follow the lyrics, though. My point is, this is a great album even without understanding what’s being said. So, don’t let the language barrier hold you back.

I suppose one could consider some of the rhythm section to be Latin. The lyrics are in Spanish. Beyond that, though, this is almost like jam band music. There is definitely some serious funk and some fusion in the mix. I love this track. It’s got a lot of energy and a great groove.

Although there are no real surprises here, this pop rock meets Latin number works really well. It’s melodic and energetic. It also has a great Latin groove to it.
