As someone who knows a very small amount of Spanish I can say you don't need to know the language to enjoy this great collection of Mexican folk music. As expected, Natalia Lafourcade is front and center in every track and she is a true star showing off great vocal range with warmth and personality in almost every line. The production on the vocals and guitars is stellar and on a good set of headphones it feels like you are in the studio with Natalia. Overall, the album is on the mellow, calm and warm side but that is not to say there aren't moments of emotional intensity, especially on La llorona. Passionate, soothing and melodic. Truly an amazing album to listen to while working.
