"I recently saw this Colombian rock band in Boston promoting their upcoming album Gozo Poderoso. They were fantastic! I had never heard of them before until a cousin of mine, who is a sound engineer for the band (I haven't seen him in years), gave me a call out of the blue saying he would be in town for a day. I went to meet him and stayed for the show. Again, the show was fantastic! This band has everything: talent, showmanship, originality, and chemistry. They have the potential to cross over to the english market and succeed on their merits. In contrast, Shakira, another popular Colombian artist (who openly claims Alanis Morisette as an inspiration) sounds too much like her idol. Los Aterciopelados is a group worth keeping track of."

"all right, i don't speak spanish, but i think the international language of music gets the point across here. and beauty is beauty even when one doesn't understand the specific sounds..."el estuche" is probably the best song, although the entire album is strong. andrea echeverri's powerful bluesy voice and hector buitrago's thumping techno beat....it's close to perfect. try it. :)"

Lo Mejor del Rock en Español!

"Caribe Atomico is an album you will not get tired of listening to, over and over. It is intoxicating and gets you every time. Aterciopelados break the stereotype against spanish rock. It's got great lyrics and the music in itself is enough! Enjoy!"
