Rock and Roll

Cha-cha guere

Él lleva y trae

Luna sobre Matanzas

Y mi negro está cansao

Mi amor... buenas noches

Vamos a guarachar

Oya, diosa y fe

Moments Worth Listening For

The meta-musical collision on Rock and Roll where the band cheekily translates American rock rhythms into a swinging Cuban big-band format.

The sassy vocal delivery on Y mi negro está cansao where Cruz playfully scolds her tired partner over a syncopated bass groove.

The sudden, dramatic shift to a tender, bilingual English-Spanish croon on the romantic ballad Mi amor... buenas noches.
