"Es el mejor disco que tiene el Ecuador y el mejor artista, estuvo nominado al Premio lo Nuestro 2004 pero le quitaron, demostrando una gran irrespeto hacia la música latina y ecuatoriana. Sin embargo este disco es espectacula con canciones como Dicen, Chao Lola, Hoy que no estas, A tajitos de caña, es realmente un disco que encierra lo que el el artista ecuatoriano, y específicamente el latinoamericano.Arriba Juanfer
Eres el orgullo del ECUADOR, mi país del alma."

"This CD contains such a wonderful collection of songs. From the first to the last, it's terrific. "Chao Lola" is such a sad song and quite beautiful. "Dicen" is also one of my favorites...a very catchy tune with great lyrics and a South American feel to it. "Hoy Que No Estas" was the reason I bought this CD. I heard this song on Colombian internet radio and I fell in love with it (It's been in the Top-10 for a couple of months already!). It's a shame that the Spanish radio stations in NYC don't play singer/songwriter/pianist/guitarist Juan Fernando Velasco's music yet. His music is so refreshing and beautiful and original. My friends who don't speak Spanish loved this CD when I played it for them....it's THAT good. If you like thoughtful lyrics, and superbly arranged music, you will enjoy this CD immensely. Also, it's enhanced so you will get the music videos for "Chao Lola" and "Dicen" too. I'm grateful we have internet radio and as a result, the opportunity to discover the great music that is being made in the rest of the world!"
An overlooked gem

"This is an awesome cd. It's a pity that such talented artists like Velasco or Kevin Johansen are not given the recongnition they deserve. I guess good taste would not be considered good taste if it were everyone's taste. Anyhow. Do buy this gem of a cd. You won't regret it."

"Juan fernando velazco is obviouly one of the brightess, talented star from Ecuador. His music transends romance. His song "chao Lola" is definetly a beautiful delicate tune. He has also incorporated other genders of ballad that makes this cd one for your collection. I strongly recommend this album to those who enjoy soft romantic music"
