Free Music Review: Third Time's a Charm for Gloria on this Lush Album
Hit: 5 Stars
The two words that come to mind when listening to this album are "rich" and "lush". This is Gloria Estefan's third Spanish-language album, and with this album she re-asserts herself as the originator of the 'resurgencia' of Latin music in the last twenty years. Unlike "Abriendo Puertas", which featured the musical styles of Central and South America, this album stays closer to the rhythms and instrumentation of Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, with deft touches of violin, flute and conga. By far the best song on the album is not the first one released, "No Me Dejes De Querer" (a very good song indeed), but "Tres Gotas De Agua Bendita", a duet with legendary Celia Cruz. Also good is "Por Un Beso", a song so Cuban, you can smell the cigars and daiquirís of 1950's Havana. Another treat is "Tengo Que Decirte Algo", which strays into Mexican territory with hints of Mariachi guitar and trumpet, and the great voice of José Feliciano. The general feel of the album is slower and more romance-inspiring than that of both "Mi Tierra" and "Abriendo Puertas". A plus for "Anglo" buyers is the inclusion of English translations of the lyrics in the liner notes (found in MT, but not AP). You will find this album a good listen, as Gloria's voice is very much at home in these songs. If you have enjoyed the recent re-emergence of Ibrahim Ferrer and the Buena Vista Social Club artists, then this album is for you. I highly recommend it.
