"I've been following this Panamanian band since their first hit Cogelo Suave back in 1982. This new CD is solid, the sound is fresh and up to date. Rencarnar En Mi is awesome as is the hit single Anoche Sone Contigo. The title song Limbo is a sad ballad that is emotionally powerful. Lead guitarist Pitongo is one of the Panamanian guitar masters, twenty years ago he claimed he was the lost son of Jimmy Hendrix. You should buy their music if you like top ten in the Spanish language. This is not Latin hip hop, reggaeton, salsa, or merengue. Oceano's music is virtually impossible to find in the US, if you are lucky enough to find Conga Rock, Oceano, No se gana pero se goza, buy it! The band has undergone several personnel changes through the last two decades, the only original members are Salo and Leo. The other founders have disapeared (Zito, Patricio, Boris). Pitongo a.k.a. Cervio Tulio Gonzales(?)has several hard to find unpublished songs that are worth listening "Quiero saber que estas conmigo" being the best. Oceano is a great group with talented individuals, I wish their songs would travel beyond the shores of Panama more often."

Una grata sorpresa!

"Soy de México y encontrar un disco de Oceano es realmente imposible. No escuchaba un disco de ellos desde el Conga Rock de 1987. Y me encuentro en "Limbo" un disco maduro, bien producido y digerible.



El remake de "Él derramó su amor por ti" respeta la original aunque a veces se extraña la ecualización y producción de los 80. "Entre Tú y Yo" suena increíble y parece una canción perdida de los Amigos Invisibles.



En verdad un muy buen disco y de lo muy poco conseguible de Oceano en cd ( por lo menos para México)."
