 love it Mar 13, 2009
I stumbled upon Chambao while I was watching Spanish tv on-line. I was immediately hooked by their lovely "nuevo flamenco" sound. Pokito a Poko is my first purchase, based on other reviews. Lovely latin sounds; flamenco "lite," definitely. A great addition to my hondo collection.

This is Flamenco Pop and it's great. Uplifting, uptempo songs flow one to the next. All in spanish so I don't know what they are saying. The woman's voice sounds a lot like Nelly Fertado, she looks like her too. I have both their albums and Love them! I bought Endorfinas En La Mente and Goodwill and thought it looked cool. I was right! What a steal!
Brilliant Jan 18, 2007
Fantastic sound, great chillout. Pokito a Poko and Sueno y muero (especially) are fantastic!

 I'm their biggest fan & this is my least favoute Chambao album Jul 27, 2006
Chambao is actually means a thatched beach hut. I've been a fan of the group from Malaga since Flamenco Chill and bought all their albums, falling in love with each one. They are seriously talented.
The band have never stayed put, always presenting fresh variations on their music. However this album seems to have less "je ne sais quoi" than the others, somewhat more mediocre as if the spirit of Chambao has been watered down a little. It would be exaggerating things to say Chambao have gone "Hollywood" - make no mistake - this is an album that any fan will play again and again enjoying, but I just hope their next album captures or evolves more of the fun rich flavour of their earlier work. This album also lacks any male vocals, which although not the most perfect vocals, they were in moderation and added extra flavour to the older albums.
It's as if someone in Marketing has had a meeting. Too smooth. Part of the vivaciousness, fun, roughness, passion that I love has turned much more restaurant-background-music-friendly.
If you have all the other albums, this is a worthy addition. I just hope Chambao read this and follow their hearts more with their next album because they are geniuses; they have made so many fantastic songs.
I'm going to see them perform in Septemeber which I'm excited about like a kid on Christmas eve. But to sum up this album, if I knew that they were going to play only songs from this album I would not be travelling 3 hours to go see them. I would go if they were in my hometown.

 Dissapointment May 16, 2006
Well it very pleasant that a fresh wave of music comes from Barcelona streets to our homes all over the world. I don't where know these band is coming from but it is clear that Ojos De Brujos opened the way for them. So thinking of that i have to say that they can't reach Ojos De Brujos emotional "breaks" at all .They seem to put this record in market just to win benefits from Ojos succes till now .
