Pretty damn good!

"I have been a fan of the Frequent Flyer series, having purchased Kingston, Rio De Janeiro and Buenos Aires before. This one once again highlights an exotic city and selects tunes made in, or inspired by the loungy, electronica scene in Barcelona. The first disc is lighter in mood and sound while the second one is deeper and more intense. If you would like to hear a new twist on Flamenco, then pick this up!"
Not Spanish Music

"I'm a fan of music from around the world. Sometimes I want to listen to Irish, sometimes Indian/Bollywood, sometimes Spanish. This is not Spanish. Granted, most of the singing is Spanish, but there is no doubt that most of the songs sound like they're from... Bollywood?
Yup, most of the songs are extremely Indian in flavor. I did not get this CD set with the hopes of hearing Spanish sung to Indian beats and with Indian inflections/vocal modulation. But that's what this is. A friend of mine who is a native Spanish speaker even attested some of the vocals, while Spanish, were actually tinged with an Indian accent. Couldn't this collection have had music actually from Spain?
If you have hopes for something guitar flavored or merely Spanish in the most stereotypical of senses, steer far from this. The Argentinian and Red Eye Frequent Flyer collections are not bad, however, and true to their titles."
