  • Very successful fusion
    author: Toby Boalch

    A very successful blend of several musical genres. A good balance of material also--from hardcore latin grooves to sweet commercial ballads. Also a clear recording, with a very close up sound with plenty of presence, excellent use of music technology, and subtle mixes.
