eight years ago, Celina Gonzalez briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “por que”. While no new Celina Gonzalez album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 2000 tour in North America. Thom Yorke has compared writing for Celina Gonzalez’s new album to that on ‘La reina de la musica campesina’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. This is what good Latin should be.
Within the first few notes of it’s perfectly clear that Celina Gonzalez is living this song.
After few listenings I started to like por que more and more. I like the agression and power of alborada guajira. La reina de la musica campesina couldn’t start better than with the up up-beat title track mi desafio al sinsonte. muero de olvido - A strong beat. Celina Gonzalez is one of artists that allow his songs like el refran se te olvido to stand on their own and be heard. pedacito de mi vida is the albums biggest surprise. I can’t stop humming along guarapo, pimienta y sal. Celina Gonzalez offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself. no volvere a enamorarme is just a great song and one well worth taking the time to give it a good listen. First time I heard asi quiero vivir was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.el hijo del siboney is the more seemingly obscure song on La reina de la musica campesina that bear up best to repeated listening. I’ve found myself listening to caibarien que lindo eres back to back and back many times. canto a peru to me is the best you can get from Celina Gonzalez. el relato del guajiro gives good insight into the truths. decimas a colombia - another great track from the La reina de la musica campesina album.
