Sin Bandera

This CD is wonderful with all of "Sin Bandera's" hits. The only bad thing is that they leave us with "hasta ahora" and no more of 'sin bandera'. I sure hope they both continue their careers on their own so we can continue to enjoy their melodious voices.

I love the cd, All Sin Bandera's best songs in one cd. There's no need to buy all of them.

This CD is Sin Bandera's greatest hits complied from their four highly successful albums;SinBandera 2002,De Viaje 2003,Manana 2005 & Pasdo 2006.

(Sin Bandera is a duo made up of two men Leonel(Mexico) Noel (Argentina).

ALL the songs here are hits. My only grip is, where are the music videos, Interviews with Lionel or Noel? This being a "Farwell/final chapter" I would have hoped, a few extras would have been thrown in. Most fans already have these songs. While its nice to have a Greatest Hits CD (especially for new fans who only want the hits).

Having seen them live, only a month before the "breakup" of the group was announced, Id hoped they might of release this as a live CD/DVD. These two men are extremely talented and this CD fully showcases it. Apart from writing most, if not all their own songs, musical arrangements and playing instruments, their two voices are perfect together. They are very romantic, honest and sincere. with out being cheesy.


The best thing about this CD is "Pero No" the only NEW , previously unreleased song on this album, which only proves ,Sin Bandera still has it .While its nice to have a Greatest Hits CD, I was left feeling a little cheated because of the lack of extras...

I LOVE Sin Bandera. What I love about them is the smooth, creamy way their two voices swirl through R&B harmonies with beautiful Spanish lyrics. However, this CD, Manana, let me down a little. The second thing I loved about Sin Bandera WAS the purity of their music. No profanity, no filth. No nasty, explicit songs I (as a Christian) feel the need to skip over on the CD. This CD has 2 such songs. WHY?! I know reggaeton is the most popular thing going right now, but Sin Bandera was doing fabulously with at least 2 hugely successful, clean albums. Why did you have to take your music into the gutter, guys? The rest of Manana is nice. I love the duet with Brian McKnight, and even the 2 versions of Junto a Ti (although they are sanitized reggaeton) are a nice change of pace. Sin Bandera if you are reading this, don't sell out your fan base trying to fit in with the "cool kids". Stick to what you do best, and you can have the best of both worlds.

This album is one of the latest and greatest in my Latin music collection. Leonel Garcis and Noel Schajris have a gorgeous, lyrical quality to their harmonies, and their fusion of r&b, hip hop and Latin elements will have you hooked. Some of my favorite cuts on the album include "Que Me Alcance La Vida" (a stunning ballad!), "No Voy" (a more uptempo song with a beat reminscent of old school Michael Jackson), and "Junto a Ti" (a hip hop inspired beat with Puerto Rican rapper, Vico C).

This album is a great introduction to this marvelous musical duo. They have a romanticism that is very rare in today's music scene, and are definitely worthy of MUCH more exposure in the United States. I hope this album brings them a Grammy (and not just a Latin one!!!). I look forward to hearing much more from these guys in the future.

This to me was Sin Bandera at their best and at their worst. I recognize that this band has a heavy R&B influence. I like that. It's really nice and they have the voices to carry it. However, there were four songs on this CD, two with Yung Kuntry and the two versions of Junto a Ti that I did not like. There was too much hip/hop and rap mixed in with it. It kind of reminded me of when I first stopped liking everything Gwen Stefani did just because it was Gwen S.
I'm all for an artist experimenting-- that's what makes them artists. However, tastes do differ and I just don't have a taste for rap infused spanish pop. Other than those songs I mentioned, there's the duet with Laura Pausini that is amazing. Suelta mi Mano, Tocame and Que Me Alcance la Vida are vintage Sin Bandera.

Ive been a Sin Bandera fan since day one, and they have delivered once again. If you like Sin Bandera because of their gorgeous heartfelt ballads, then this album is a winner. "Tocame" is one of the most beautiful songs Ive heard in a long time, and the others are not far behind. The duet with Brian McKnight was surprisingly good as well, not a bad crossover song. Im not so much a fan of the more edgy/hip hop songs that Sin Bandera tries on this album. Theryre ok, and not bad by any means, ( I actually dont mind "Lo Que Llamas Amor"), but they should stick to what they know best- writing beautifully harmonized and lyrically eloquent ballads. Overall, this album is amaaaazing, and I havent taken it off repeat since I bought it!
There is also a nice live version of "Sirena" (not available on this version of the album, but is available on iTunes) which i recommend downloading. If only I could see them live....

THis is the first Sin Bandera CD that I like all of the songs. In the "De Viaje" CD, there were like three or four songs that I really didn't like. En este, pues todas estan muy chidas. De primero, las canciones de R&B casi no me gustaban pero despues de un rato, se me hicieron super chidas. La cancion "Junto A Ti" esta muy buena, como tambien la de "Como Voy a Olvidarte Mujer". Falta esperar con quien hace dueto SB para el proximo CD. En cuatro palabras para describir este CD: muy chido, chido, chido.
SAL+

These 2 have such amazing voices and their harmonies and beautiful. They sound like they were meant to sing together and each song is sung with such feeling. I highly recommend Sin Banderas to anyone that loves to hear great music, great voices, great harmonies....etc.

I had to make this album a part of my CD collection, since I already have "De Viaje" and "Manana," Sin Bandera's 2nd and 3rd albums. Their self-titled debut definitely showcases them well, and this was only the beginning! The best way to describe their sound is "fusion." They combine pop riffs, salsa beats, flamenco and even ranchera music with their own unique flavor and beautiful harmonies. Some of the strongest songs here are "Entra Mi Vida" (featured in pop, ranchera and grupero style on the CD). It is gorgeous and melodious. I also especially reccomend "Sirena" (Mermaid), which is pure poetry set to music. The rest of the tracks equally carry their weight on this album, and it is ideal for a romantic evening with someone special. Even if you don't speak Spanish, this music will speak to your heart.....

This is a great CD! It's some of the best work these two have put out. The still do many of this album's songs on tour. I highly recommend catching them if ya can!

While American music was stagnating and wholly uninspired in the last few years I was wondering if and when it would get it's act together. Mindless pop tunes with no soul autotuned to sterile perfection blared on every radio channel I knew that there had to be a glimmer of light somewhere to save music. I endured a few more years of this and finally it took me moving to San Diego California in 2002 to know that while American music had lost its passion the rest of the world however had not. Driving in my U-haul over the mountains east of San Diego the US channels faded to static and the Mexican stations took over. Soon I hear a sublime impassioned voice whispering passionately in Spanish. Though I do not understand Spanish the heartfelt emotions pouring from the singer backed by a wistful guitar, the message was clear. The music fanned the dieing embers of my heart and washed over me in a glorious candlelight. The Song I was as I have just recently found out was Sin Bandera's Te Vi Venir, easily the best piece of music I've heard anywhere, anyplace in the world in many years. My heart was inspired and the Romantic in me rekindled. I knew that hope had returned to music.

I went to boarding school for senior year and my roommate was Mexican and played this album incessantly and I was addicted so I bought it also. It's such a great album. My favourite's are Sirena and Te Vi Venir

This CD is wonderful with all of "Sin Bandera's" hits. The only bad thing is that they leave us with "hasta ahora" and no more of 'sin bandera'. I sure hope they both continue their careers on their own so we can continue to enjoy their melodious voices.

I feel so lucky to being able to get my music in spanish throught Amazon, this cd sin viaje is a very good cd and I think people would love it once they listen to it.

For those of you who have never heard of Sin Bandera, this album is your opportunity to get a taste of their artistry and stirring musical sensitivity.

Who are Sin Bandera? They are Leonel Garcia, from Mexico, and Noel Schajris, from Argentina. For starters, their voices are absolutely a pleasure to listen to. They have a real talent for conveying the pleasure and pain of romance in through their lyrics, melodies and expression. What's more, they aren't sappy or repetitive. Although this music is deceptively laid back, don't overlook the attention to instrumentation, harmony and diversity in musical influences. Some of my favorite songs on this album are the ones that have gotten little airplay in the United States. Many people know this album for the hit "Que Llloro" (translation: How I Cry). Though, this song is beautiful and heartbreaking,I love when these guys tap into more Latin influences ("Ven" and "Te Esperare" as two examples, where you hear flamenco elements), as well as their more jazzy sensiblities ("Magia" and "Cancion Para Los Dias Lluviosos").

You will fall in love with this duo and their wonderful music and definitely won't be disappointed. Buy this album today......

Most of these songs are great. I like alot of the songs they made. Te song i like the most from this CD is "Que Lloro" and "De Viaje".

The first time I listened to this CD I thought - "eh, it's just ok". The second time I said, "hm, this is really good", and it just kept getting better from there. Everytime I listen to it I feel like I discover a new favorite song and I enjoy the CD all the more.

Some of the tracks remind me of Boyz-2-Men in the ways they harmonize, but Sin Banderas definately has a sound all their own. I love their slower ballads - but suprisingly, my favorite tracks are the faster, more upbeat tracks like Magia (track 6). If you want to enjoy some good Spanish music that is remiscient of Motown - buy this CD.

A friend gave me a burned CD with various artists. I kept listening to one song over and over and decided to buy the CD. I am in love with this CD. I listen to it from the beginning to the end.

After experimenting with their sound on the aptly titled Mañana, Sin Bandera decided to pay tribute to those who came before them. Though the idea is nothing new (particularly in Latin music), the result is surprisingly fresh and innovative. Pasado, or "past", completes a two part series titled Pasado Manaña, meaning "after tomorrow." Having worked with Franco De Vita on his 2004 hit single "Si la ves," Sin Bandera opens this album with his song "Un buen perdedor." The original, a power ballad reminiscent of Billy Joel, is retuned with a crisp, more polished sound. While the piano from De Vita's version is retained, Sin Bandera adds their signature layered sound with a bigger hook perfect for radio play. In Luís Miguel's "Hoy el aire huele a ti," Sin Bandera turns a sappy ballad that emphasizes the crooner's voice into a fresh song with a more textured beat. The horns at the beginning of the original are replaced by whistling, but are still present throughout. A funky yet subtle guitar riff complements the beat well, and as self-proclaimed hip hop fans, a rap is added, a genre Sin Bandera has incorporated into their music since De viaje. The group's eclectic taste in music is best displayed by their version of Jovanotti's "Serenata Rap." Though the lyrics are translated from Italian to Spanish, the song stays true to the "rap" portion of its title. Jovanotti appears at the end of the song to rap a verse in the song's original language. John Paul Young's disco hit "Love is in the Air," on the other hand, is sung in English. Though some may find this strange, SB fans will remember that they've used English in their songs since their debut. The greatest disparity between the original and Pasado's version is Aleks Syntek's "Mis impulsos sobre ti." The original comes in three versions (original, acoustic and "trip hop"), none of which sound like this one. The song has a catchy, laid back beat that sounds so much like Neptunes you expect Snoop to drop a verse at any moment. In a clever twist, Syntek sings a verse from Sin Bandera's single "Sirena" from their debut album. With Mario Domm (Camila) contributing to production, Sin Bandera is able to remake classic songs while maintaining a growth and sophistication present in all Sin Bandera releases. With Pasado, this talented duo leaves us with an attractive glimpse of the future.

I have to say that this CD is total delight and of great performance by Sin Banderas. I love it!

Sin Bandera offered us a nice CD and I was surprised when I heard the songs "Será", "Un Buen Perdedor" and "Si Tú No Estás aquí" that I heard the original versions and These new ones are as good as those but Sin Bandera conserves its unique style.

Nice... I recommend it!

Sin Bandera has become one of the most influential duo in Latin music with classics such as "Sirena," "Que Lloro," and "Suelta Mi Mano," just to name a few. Now they are paying respect to the classics that have influenced their great musical career by reinterpreting artists such as Ricardo Montaner, Franco de Vita, Luis Miguel, Miguel Bose and even Tom Jones. And to be honest, there are some hits and some near misses, but never trying to outshine the original. Their first single "Si tu no estas" from the Spanish singer Rosana, is one of those gems that enhances the original but does not make you forget it. Sin Bandera does such a sublime job that it is marked with their style, yet they pay tribute. My favorite of the whole bunch is their hopeful approach to Ricardo Montaner's "Sera." Stylistically, it is completely different from the original; however, the power still remains as Sin Bandera increases the tempo and reworks the background music. Most importantly the duo of Leonel and Noel have the vocal capability to match Ricardo Montaner's. It is just as great as the original. The one I was a little disappointed by is their rendition of Miguel Bose's "Si tu no vuelves." This one is definitely outdone by the original for Noel and Leonel cannot match Bose's crystal clear tenor-like voice. Moreover, Sin Bandera's modernization of the background music is a bit distracting. This one seems to be the least of Sin Bandera's style. In spite of this, it is still a great song to listen to but the original is clearly better. Overall I found the cd to be moving, as I come to expect from any Sin Bandera album. Sin Bandera certainly does an outstanding job at reimagining the past into the present.

This group deserves more than 5 stars. Their music is absolutely the most beautiful thing out there. They have so much talent and innovations in music. All the songs make me want to cry or paint! I had no clue who Sin Bandera was when I got their cd, but I don't regret it. Every single song is amazing and when I say amazing I do mean it. one of the best buys out there!

Sin Bandera has prooven itself to be the best latin group of the year with this amazing debut album. Their songs are melodic and catchy. I see a lot of future in this duet.

Sin bandera proves music has no flags and no boundries in this world because feelings come first always. An Argentino and a Mexicano make this very truly romantic duo with music and lyrics of their own inspiration and with an excellent production by Auro Baqueiro. Their songs are easy to listen and understand. Nothing complicated just real life situations. If you want to try something new in latin music and are searching for new lyrics try this album, you'll like. Just give it a week or two. Personally 'entra en mi vida' should have been song of the year along with Elefante 'asi es la vida'.
Just read this 'te comenze por extranar pero empeze a necesitarte luego' .... I have nothing more to say.

I've been to Mexico several times but only this time I found out about Sin Bandera. Especially the song "Entra en mi vida" didn't get out of my mind so that I bought this Album afterwards through amazon.com, Now I'm able to enchant all my friends with an astonishing album of 12 great songs and each time I listen to this music I like it even more.

I learned of Sin Bandera when I visited Monterrey this summer. At a 'jumping' bar/restaurant, they played "Sirena" over the loudspeaker. It was absolutely wonderful. I immediately bought the CD hoping that it would meet my expectations and IT DID. These guys are terrific and their voices are to die for. Sexiness drips from their vocal chords. I am eager to hear (and buy) their next work. This CD inspires the full range of emotions from romance to sheer fun.
