Strong songcraft and a clear turn toward Spanish dance-hall idioms give the record a distinctive voice; its measured middle and expansive closer make the sequence cohere.

What we noticed

  • The title track closes the album as a slower, more expansive finale after the shorter, more sharply paced songs before it.
  • The sequence places the brisk “La fuerza de la costumbre” and “Tócala Uli” before the more measured “Como un pez” and “La sangre de tu tristeza,” easing the pace in the middle.
  • Spanish dance-hall and Latin rhythmic gestures sit inside rock arrangements, giving songs such as “Saravá” a different pulse from the more guitar-led tracks.
