Music reviews of Limon y Sal
Music Review: One of my favorite albums
Rating: 5 Stars
I cannot speak Spanish but I work in the Mexican communtiy in Houston. I work on jukeboxes and so I am pretty familiar with the different styles of Latin music.
But Julieta is really awesome and, to me, her sheer musical talent is worth buying this album. Julieta has a genius mind when composing her music and I can only hope that she will release some English albums.
I personally have two copies of this CD and recommend it to anyone. The music styles range across the board. The opening song Canciones de Amor has a country flavor to it. It is reminiscent of listening to the Eagles while driving on vacation.
Primer Dia is closest song to being hip hop and features a male vocalist (Dante Spinetta). The lively drum and bass on the song could make a great dance hit. From this song alone, I know Julieta had a great time making this album. The music shows she really poured out her soul and time to create it but this track shows how much fun she had while doing it.
The title track Limon y Sal is a dreamy romantic cumbia. Melodic beatlesque choruses of Julieta singing "ooh" and "ahh" create a dream landscape to this beautiul song. The beauty in the track is haunting and Julieta's voice raises chills on the body. Yet, the track is still fun and I can' help but smile thiking about Julieta singing "Yo te quiero con limon y sal". The last minute of the song again seems to be another nod to the Beatles and I can't help but wonder if this album shows Julieta is as much a genius as Lennon and McCartney.
De Que Me Sirve is a departure from the rest of the album. Julieta's accordion sounds lke something one might hear while floating in a gondola in venice passing some obscure night club. This is a track thatwon't please at first but becomes a favorite.
And probably the catchiest song on the album is Eres para mi. The upbeat new wave beat is what first attracted me to the album. A hard track to define but one of the greatest on the album. If you have not heard the song and are familair with latin music, you need to crawl out from underneath your hole.
Last but not least, Sin Documentos is the perfect song to end the album with. The song is in the style of traditional cumbias and I can feel the accordion racing along in my head. The song evokes a lot of Mexican images to my mind and makes me feel like I am being led through a strange land. Not knowing what the lyrics actually mean, I can only suspect this is exactly what Julieta was going for naming the song Sin Documentos.
Now, I cannot write a review on Julieta without saying how beautiful she is. I am surprised she has not broken over to the English game. Who thought an accordion player would be sexy? Who thought bushy eyebrows on a woman were sexy? Julieta is about music and the looks are not the focus. Still, it is hard to get past how sexy she is.
The album is a must have. It is among my favorite CDs period.
