Bacilos

Except for "Caraluna", the best song in the album, the remaining ones are not very interesting. If you are buying because you heard "Caraluna", you would do better by downloading just that song and saving $15 for another album.

Descubri a BACILOS por "mi primer millon" y "Caraluna", nunca los habia escuchado y la verdad es que este CD me gusto, principalmente como un trampolín a la fama.

Los temas "Mi primer millon", "caraluna", "Elena" y "Buena" (Featuring a Fulanito) son las mas "Shaking" del album. Ciertamente las demas, no son tan cautivantes, quiza les pudiera gustar NADA y SOLO UN SEGUNDO.

Un buen comienzo...soy fan de BACILOS debido a este CD.

I've loved Bacilos since the first time I've heard them... Caraluna... very infectious beat with artistic undertones. I enjoyed their music even before I started learning Spanish. As an avid Beatles fan, I definately heard influences of the group in Bacilos' work. Very Good singers & album. Comprarlo ahora!

Also buy : Juanes UN DIA NORMAL

With this album they consolidated in the Latin music's scene, it is very well a work fact, caraluna is a very good sample of the talent of this group, and they closed with fastener of Gold with its primer millon, it is a disk very folklore and beautiful at the same time, this disk won't bore you for anything.

Despite the primarily negative things that I am about to say, I have listened to this album a LOT since getting it about 2 weeks ago. The thing is this - I hardly ever make it past the fourth track. The first song (Mi Primer Million) is a great, perky beginning to the album and gets you hooked. The second cut, Caraluna, is absolutely sublime in my opinion, largely for reasons that have nothing to do with what is basically an okay-not-great pop song. The lyrics remind me of some of the songs on Manu Chao's first album (word choice mostly, nothing thematic - I'll always love you best, Manu!) and the motif of seeing your lover's face in the face of the moon resonates with the little I know about Japanese poetry. And I just have a thing about the way that every song on the radio reminds you of your lover as well. But then there's the rest of the album. There's no depth here, nothing that makes me believe that they've read poetry or listened to Manu Chao or anyone else who has a varied style and intriguing lyrical content. So I'll continue to listen very happily to the first two tracks and then switch to another cd that actually gives me something to think about.

I bought this CD for this song. While most of the other songs are good, some are less so. This is a mix, as a CD I was disappointed. I do love the song Tabacco y Chanel and would like to hear more like that from Bacilos.

Great Cd, especially tracks 3 (Besela ya) and 7 (Cronica)

Addicitve CD, another one out of the park for bacilos!

The instrumentation is exquisite. The heart-wrenching fiddle in careful counterpoint to beautiful melody lines recalls the best of Celtic fiddle work. The various numbers feature different instruments: guitar solos, horns, the wonderful violin. Nice mix of different tempos, dance beat, ballad, etc. The lyrics are great too: and relatively easy to understand for non-native Spanish speakers. It is a beautiful CD, even if you don't understand Spanish.

Could not be a much better CD constructed of only a select few great songs that this group has been able to perfectly compose. Excellent music!

Este CD es excelente, vale la pena comprarlo. Yo escuche al grupo por primera vez hace dos anios en Peru. Me enamore de la cancion "Tabaco y Channel." Luego escuche Caraluna y mi primer millon (en el segundo CD) ahi decidi comprar el CD, es mas, los dos CD's.

It is an excellent buy. I strongly recommend it. My friends that do not speak one word of english love their music too.

The harmonius combination of their lyrics and music makes this group one to look out for. I hear that they are in the process of recording their next album....surely it will be a success! Highly recommended!

I loved this CD. Being an immigrant myself, I've always identified with the lyrics and experiences related in their songs, as with the rythms. This last album seemed to me less anxious, and more contemplative. Bacilos' music is like a microsm of the larger latin american immigrant experience in Miami, and this CD confirms that narrative. They manage to express that reality in a unpretentious genuine way and it feels good.

Quede encantada con CARALUNA y esperaba ansiosa este CD. Me desencante al escucharlo en principio ya que esparaba mucho ritmo como el CD anterior. Sin embargo, en la medida que lo escuchaba entendi que este CD tiene un corte mas maduro, acabado y que no apelaron tanto al ritmo pegajoso esta vez (pienso que porque ya consiguieron "su primer millon" :)

PASOS DE GIGANTES, LA MEXICANA y FELIZ CONMIGO son los mas ritmicos.

Me encanta EN LOS 70, se que a todos los que nacimos y/o crecimos en esa decada nos traera buenos recuerdos (principalmente el del anticristo)

Ahora bien mi preferido es GUERRAS PERDIDAS, una lirica profunda y un ritmo que te arrastra, te invita a cerrar los ojos y perderte en el mundo de esta cancion.

Si esperas un CD con ritmo, ni lo compres. Si esperas un trabajo maduro que debes sentarse a analizar y disfrutar, este CD consolidara tu relacion con BACILOS.

After their previous album produced a couple of hits, Bacilos went back to the drawing board. Singer and writer Jorge Villamiz honed his vocal technique. Sinverguenza takes Bacilos to a new level of music-making. Some songs on this album offer social commentary, others are about human relationships. No two songs are alike. It is impossible to determine which will be radio hits, as all offer something unique. This album is a leap forward for Bacilos in music making. This is a much better, mature, and talented group than in their previous album. If you liked their previous album, or if you just like great modern latin music, buy this album.

I think Bacilos would be well-served to go back to the drawing board. This album sounds like they did not put the work in to write some excellent songs; the music's sound is not very memorable, the lyrics aren't very memorable, and it's almost as if they just changed the words from bad songs from their previous albums to make this one. I saw them in concert in Virginia, and unfortunately they were so caught up in promoting their albums that they played two of their most famous songs two or three times, and alienated a number of fans there who were previously Bacilos-lovers (and emerged as more impressed with upstarts such as CABAS). So, I agree with the other reviewer that rated this CD a bust. Save your money for emerging latin rock stars such as Locos Por Juana, rather than a Bacilos that is not putting its best effort forwards.

I had low expectationsfor this album, and my perceptions of where the group might be headed turned out to be false. I originally had beleived that they would be another latin group who only managed to produce a one wonder album. They show signs of different maturation in this album from their first album Caraluna, with soulful songs such as Sangre Americana while staying true to their roots of fun pop latin funk with songs like Pasos de Gigante, and Colores. Definitely an album that can be enjoyed from beginning to end.

I bought this CD for this song. While most of the other songs are good, some are less so. This is a mix, as a CD I was disappointed. I do love the song Tabacco y Chanel and would like to hear more like that from Bacilos.

Finally music worth listening to! Radio D.J.'s should stop playing the same old crap (payola-hyped music) and give young, new talented groups a chance. We should all demand better and different music so as not to be stereotyped as salsa or merengue or tejano only. There are great groups out there like Los Bacilos playing real latin music and struggling to get an opportunity. Keep up the good music!

This album is what -real- music is about: intelligent, well-written songs, extremely talented musicians, an incredible mix of sounds and bits, and a very pure, acustic production. I hadn't heard anything like this in a long time. I'm...amazed!

This is an amazing CD, definetily one of the best I have bought in a long while!!!! It has been in my car stereo from the day I bought it and it has never left it. The songs are beautiful, I love "Lo mismo que yo" and "cronica"... I can't stop dancing... Finally a great Latin group with some cultural roots is showing the world what new Latin music is all about!!!!!!!!!!!!

Música fresca y placentera! con un sabor y son increible. Recomiendo la canción Tabaco y Chanel.... buenisima!

Each song in this album is a hit. It would be very difficult to choose the best one. It has a beautiful lyrics, and delightful melodies for every mood, I love it. Don¨t miss it !
