Free Music Notes for Acoustic En Vivo
Free Music Review: Great CD
Hit: 5 Stars
My youngest son and I attended a Los Lobos concert at Benaroya Hall in Seattle, April 30, 2008. I purchased this CD at the concert, primarily as a medium for autographs, after the concert. It turns out to be one of my favorite Los Lobos CDs. They played many of the songs on this CD at the concert, many mostly acoustically. A warm and wonderful sound. The song "Teresa" is among my favorite Los Lobos recordings, and their version of Gunatanamera is by far the best I've heard. Probably my favorite track, after Teresa, is Maricela, on this CD more lively and immediately personal than versions on other CDs. The more instrumentally spare, but warmer versions of "Two Janes" and "Saint Behind the Glass" on this CD are great, as well. I've played this CD about 4 times as much as any other Los Lobos CD, since the concert. Everything Los Lobos does is excellent.Free Music Review: Mixed feelings

This is the third Los Lobos CD I purchase sung in Spanish and composed
of the music they are so brilliant in: traditional Mexican folk music!
Their "Del Este de Los Angeles" was the first all Spanish debut and
is still the best one by far, then we had "La Pistola y El Coraz?n"
also classified with 5 stars although being "too short" (only 9 songs,
and now this third one called "Acoustic en Vivo". The first 3 songs
are absolutely fantastic with that wonderful "jarocho" like guitar
pickin' which they do even better than traditional Mexican groups and
which they repeat with "La Guacamaya" and "La Pistola y el Coraz?n".
This certainly would have been another 5 star CD but they suddenly
commit a mistake, to my opinion, by singing another 3 typical traditional
Mexican songs....in English! Even if you're not familiar with this music,
singing Mexican songs in English hurts the hearing. You immediatley
notice something's wrong. Can you imagine a typical blues, country or
American folk song in another language? Horrifying ain't it? Well
that's the case here: totally out of place. Unfortunately the reason
why, for the first time, I can't give a Los Lobos CD 5 stars. Besides
that, the presentation is inexistant. Just a black paper inside with
no information! Who are the songwriters? When were these songs recorded?
A real pity.

This is an accoustic live album. I saw Los Lobos earlier this year(07)in Baltimore. This album reminds me of that concert in both style and content. Lots of hispanic accoustic instruments in a traditional Mexican style. So this is a bit different than their more rock based albums. Most songs are in Espanol. An excellent CD begining to end.
