Synopsis

Amazon.com

Colombian soap star-cum-singer Carlos Vives continues drawing from the colorful palette of vallenato with 2001's sunny, unfailingly upbeat, Grammy-winning Dejame Entrar. True to vallenato's rich folk tradition, accordion figures prominently, but the kaleidoscopic grocery list of instruments in use also includes electric guitar, flute, piano, and quite possibly a kitchen sink. Stylistically, son, merengue, and paseo rhythms are all checked. Vives's pleasant, almost giddy voice--most often concerned with expressions of love--infuses the material with a celebratory feel, and while his tentative foray into English language lyrics on "Carito" makes a strong case for sticking with Spanish, Vives nevertheless acquits himself well, particularly on the vivid, call-to-arms anthem "Papadió." This is electrified Colombian folk at its most electrifying. --Kim Hughes

CD Reviews

For True Fans...

11/10/2001

(4 out of 5 stars)

"As a big fan of Carlos Vives, I will admit this is not his greatest CD. I still think "Classicos de la Provincia" will forever be his best recording. However, if you are a true fan, this CD is a must. He continues to improve on his writing skills, both musically and lyrically. From the opening song "Dejame Entrar" he displays his talent for a beautiful, yet simple lyric. Other great songs are "Carito" (showing his english skills), and my personal favorites "Amor Latino" and "Santa Elegia". All in all, this is a really good CD. I recommend it to anyone who likes Carlos or vallenato."

Exploring new musical alternatives

FJ Rada | El Paso, Cesar | 11/30/2001

(4 out of 5 stars)

"If you are looking for classic vallenato, this may not fulfill your expectations. Though maintaining the accordion as a central actor, Vives incorporates other instruments (guitars and gaita) which gives the songs more of a "fussion" feeling. Good lyrics, but sadly he felt to the tempation of including some English words, as well as the commonplace "Latino", in a clear wink to English-speaking audiences. It is good dancing music (something not very desirable for classic vallenato but which at the same time can be a very good introduction for newcomers to vallenato) but falls short when compared with previous works. A very positive note is that Vives explores other Colombian rithms, something that will sure enrich our musical habits. A must for Vives' fans, a great present for the upcoming christmas season."

Carlos vives suena mejor que nunca

Jason Torres | Miami | 11/07/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"este no es simplemente otro disco del artista tropical mas popular de latinoamerica, es la ultima obra de un rockero innvador de principios de nuevo milenio, que gracias a su experimentación dentro de la variedad cultural y musical de la costa atlantica Colombiana, mezclada con otros ritmos regionales latinoamericanos y porsupuesto con tendencias pop, rock, reegae, y hasta techno ha logrado un sonido elite y muy propio. En sus discos se manifiesta una evolución drastica, un compromiso personal por hacer cada vez mas interesante y conteporaneo su trabajo sin perder su sentido comercial. Enhorabuena para Vives."
