"The title says it all: just play this CD and merengue will fill your head & legs! I rated this CD with 5 stars, but I have to say I am a bit biassed, because I heard this CD for the first time when I visited Costa Rica in November/December of this year and my memories of this 'paraíso' melt with the music of the CD. Although the musicians from 'La Makina' originate from Puerto Rico, I can tell you that this music will do in any part of the world, especially if you're looking for happy merengue tunes to dance on. For me personally, particularly the first song, 'No me digas que no', and the second song, 'Ojos café', touched me deeply and made me relive my Costa Rican holiday. The songs are somewhat similar to the song 'Píntame' by Elvis Crespo, to give you a slight idea of what I am talking about.'Dedico este CD a Mario, quien me ponía en contacto con esta música y además a todos los merengue aficionados en cualquier sitio del mundo!'Esther"

Bailandolo!

"There is a salsa, bachata, and I believe a qumbia. This production shows alot of growth from the group. The merengue on this is great. They really went out on this one."

Their Second Best Album

"Even though not better than their 1996 debut disc "A Mil", this album is better than their other albums. This disc has 10 merengues, 1 salsa, and a bachata. All their merengue tracks are great. On track 6 , they pay homage to the founders of Merengue "Bomba", Los Hermanos Rosario; and all the merengue artists from PR that keep that style of merengue alive."
