    It's Buenos Aires' Gaby Kerpel without irony, maybe even Barcelona's Manu Chao without hooks -- ecstatic yes, escapist no.

    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.

    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
