""Songbirds & Roosters" haunts the heart and mind with lyrics, ripe with poetic images. Rosa's own description of his song writing process as setting poems to music is no hyperbole. These lyrics are poetry. Although Rosa's ability to explore the dark, edgier side is obvious in hit songs like "Livin' La Vida Loca," which he co-wrote for Ricky Martin, the 11 tracks on "Songbirds & Roosters" dig deeper into the dark recesses of the soul. The lyrics on tracks such as "Junkie," "Lifeless Clown" and "Nymph" reveal a unique ability on Rosa's part to combine dark poetic images with haunting phrases such as "songbirds & roosters are dancing in my veins" and "spooning the butterflies I would die for you." The combination of acoustic and electric guitar on tracks such as Rosa Maria (Cruzando Puertas) is startling and yet romantic. His voice is soft, deep and comforting. Can't wait to hear what comes next from this artist."
Love this album completely!Pure exhibition of Draco's talent

"Draco has combined the most beautiful music from "Frio" with amazingly deep and dark lyrics that make a classic blend of the music that never wears off. The echo of these haunting musical arrangements will stay with me forever. This album is a the creation of a gifted song writer, musician and producer. Most especially enjoy Draco's talents on "Junkie" & "Mourning Gun""

"In this CD you will find the same melodies from "Frio" but with different lyrics what makes it very interesting cause who can make a Cd with old music and at the same time make all new with fresh lyrics... It is amazing how he portrays all his life in this Cd....Like he mostly do... songs that I like from this work are Blindman's parade, Nymph, Lifeless Clown."

"It's awesome that someone could give you the feeling you get when you hear a song for the first time all over again with the same songs. This album is just great.You get used to "Frio" , then you get the same songs you love in english and it works wonderfully.I could not believe my ears the first time. This is an excellent piece of art and it should be in your collection."

"I have all of Draco's cds including Maggie's Dream and Songbirds & Roosters is my favorite of them all especially the title song the way he weaves his words telling his story you can really feel what he is feeling.You can almost picture the stories he's telling as he wails his soul out for everyone to share."
