Title: Not inspiring, despite high aspirations
Product review: This multi-ethnic group hails from San Diego and has the valiant goal of bringing the cultural fusion of Mexican-American sounds in that city into the limelight. Their songs, in English and Spanish, are all about rights, independence, and non-violence - messages you can get behind. But the lyrics themselves are too predictable to really inspire. That's not to say the musicians aren't talented - they're just not good songwriters. For some music that will at least get your feet moving or hips shaking, try the more salsa-style tracks which emphasize musicianship over political message: El Comal (tk 4), Micaela (tk 7), and Taquerito (tk 10) all have a spicy latin edge and well worth a spin. Otherwise, you might try Unplug This Armageddon (tk 2) or Crossroads (tk 9), just don't expect them to bring about la revolución.
