  1. It's Buenos Aires' Gaby Kerpel without irony, maybe even Barcelona's Manu Chao without hooks -- ecstatic yes, escapist no.
  2. It's fun and light, and even though for all I know he could be singing about the destruction of mankind, it is bursting with joy and happiness.
  3. Akin to Manu Chao backed by The Go Team!, fortunately it's no one-off. [Nov 2008, p.117]

    An amazing, amazing gem. Even if you don't understand Spanish you will be able to vibe out to this music. The rhythms are enough to make you enjoy this music. I love that it reminds me a bit of animal collective but this is much different in his own way and that makes this album unique and great but still familiar. Expand
