It’s natural for Inti-Illimani to take a stab at ‘Juanito Laguna’ considering her long-professed love for Universal Soul. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Inti-Illimani energies, virtually a rebirth. This is the first studio album from Inti-Illimani since bad diagnosis in 1989. Fortin Prat Valparaso CD2 is not something you should pass up.
Candidos is absolutely incredible. Inti-Illimani has astounded me with this amazing track. Once you hear Vuelvo, you will listen to it over and over. One listen to the sheer beauty of Campanitas-Mis Llamitas was all I needed. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion. Bailando,bailando is a strong cut, one of many. En Libertad - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. El Guarapo Y La Melcocha is simple, dignified and effective, Inti-Illimani refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. El Pueblo Unido sets the tone for the entire album. Caramba, yo Soy Dueco Del Baron one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard.
