4 out of 5 stars You can't get this one out of your head!.......2005-01-20

I traveled throughout South America for a couple of years in the late 90's. There was no shortage of music blaring in night clubs and on the radio, but the one song I couldn't shake was the title track from this CD. I had no idea who sang it and when I finally caught the name I had to buy it. Turns out the whole CD is solid pop/rock, a good addition for your international section!

4 out of 5 stars Great Album Start to Finish.......2004-07-28

I had the great fortune to live in Spain through most of 1997 and though I didnt speak spanish particularly well you cant escape the local music even if you tried. I bought several discs over there which featured a catchy song which was a hit over there only to discover that there really was nothing else worth a second listen on the disc. On the other hand, there was "La Flaca" by Jarabe de Palo. I thoroughly enjoyed this one! the title track was a giant hit that year and deservedly so. However the entier disc includes a nice mix of musical styles into a disctinctive rock sound. The only complaint I had was the use of sythesizers on two or three tracks just didnt seem to fit in with the rest of the disc, which has a very minimalist "just the music" feel to it with no electronic effects or the like. But I can overlook that for a great CD.

3 out of 5 stars Like a gentle massage.......2003-05-22

American audiences may just be catching on to Spanish export because of some catchy commercials floating through the air waves featuring "La Flaca." There is a hook to Jarabe de Palo's style that makes the crossover in media very easy. His singing style is reminiscent of Juan Perro and his backup musicians play a variety of easy going pop styles. The star quality of the disc is the voice of JDP. It is one that makes an unfamiliar song sound at once quite familiar. The best illustration of this phenomena is the title track "La Flaca" which once you have heard it once will stayin your brain for days and become a part of you. It is as though you have heard the song before immediately. I guess this is why there are "radio friendly" songs as this one got a lot of airplay a few years back and continues to this day on the roc en Espanol stations. The band is tight in a loose way for a relaxed groove that fluctuates between a jazzy blues guitar rhythms, accoustic bliss and in general a soothing bit of pop balladry that features the unique Castellano vocals according to PDJ. "La Flaca" is featured twice, the accoustic version is a showcase for the vocals of JDP and finishes the set quite appropriately as that song will be playing in your head for days and years to come. Recommended for rockeros that enjoy their roc music to be in a gentle vein sometimes.

5 out of 5 stars Great music no matter what language you speak.......2002-07-26

Que puedo decir de este disco? Tengo todos los discos de Jarabe de Palo, y todos tienen su sonido propio, pero La flaca es sin duda lo mejor de esta banda. Recomiendo sus otros discos tambien, pero no se puede comparar La Flaca con cualquier otro disco de Jarabe. Cada cancion es unica e inolvidable. Depende es otra cancion que me gusta y el disco De Vuelta y Vuelta es interesante, pero la coleccion de canciones en la Flaca es verdaderamente estupenda.
