Another superb album from Mexico Mar 10, 2002 If you pick up any Mexican compilation in a UK shop you will find it is utter rubbish. This is a real shame because, with Cafe Tacuba, Maldita Vecindad, Los de Abajo, El Gran Silencio and Plastillina Mosh, Mexico produces some superb rock. The country's music is sadly under-rated and, at least in the UK, not well represented. This latest offering from Los de Abajo offers a range of styles (Salsa, Polka, Rap, Son Jorocha, etc). These traditional styles have been up-dated with a welcome input of energy (although the cliche, ever present on Mexican albums, about punk energy is becoming a bit worn). The CD is on David Byrne's Luaka Bop label which should already be enough to give it the benefit of the doubt. The album sets out to celebrate Mexico city and includes various street sound samples. It is also very political containing numerous attacks on the corruption of the Mexican government and offering support for the country's indigeneous Indian population. The beautiful sleeve contains English translations of the lyrics (though sadly not the Spanish originals) and a short piece introducing the band and their songs.

Great music. Not Salsa May 09, 2003
By F. Isolani
"fisolani"
Really interesting definately Mexican music. A great groove with a unique sound fusing traditional and modern Mexican elements in a great blend. Rythmically melodically sonically grooving. I really liked it alot.
Unexpected twists and turns...!que estrano! Oct 01, 2002
By DJ Joe Sixpack A very cool set of funky modern rock from Mexico City, with unexpected heavy doses of genuine-sounding traditional music coming up in the mix. This is a very interesting album... definitely worth checking out!

Muy breve pero bueno Mar 12, 2002
By FULANO DE TAL No mas tengo una problema con este disco....esta muy breve. En estos tiempos cuando la mayoria de discos son de una hora y en veses mas, porque Los de Abajo hacen una de media hora y pico? Las canciones son fantasticos, con mucho sabor y politico, en su estilo de TropiPunk en que se puede escuchar influencias de varios como Cafe Tacuba, King Chango y Maldita Vencidad entre otros. Por su puesto estos vatos si son originales y tienen mas de diez anos de rockeros. Utilizan varios estilos , una mezcla no aborotado pero muy suave, como un platillo de paella, revuelto con sabor. Otra problema es que unas "canciones" son nada mas que pedasos de la vida urban, por ejemplo, hay voces de un mercado con la gente gritando sus ventas? Que es eso? Si lo incorporaran en una cancion vale pero solo comienza y termina y frankamente no vale la pena. Cuando estos locos si dan el esfuezo de tocar les sale muy chido. Para la proxima le pido a el senor y muy maestro David Bryne que los dejan hacer la musica por una hora o mas! Este es un disco y una banda que merece otra estrella pero como esta le tengo que quitar una estrella. De todos modos si te gusta esta banda compra lo pero tienes que saber que a penas cuando te esta gustando se acabo!
