This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by Banda el Recodo. Since completing 0’s ‘Intro’, Banda el Recodo fulfilled their contract with EMI Records and where under no obligation to release another album. Lead single “Intro” and “Popurri” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. This is one of the best cd’s i have heard through the whole thing.
Opening track Popurri shows the best of Banda el Recodo. Banda el Recodo emotions are reflected through Regresa. This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create. Las lagrimas de un hombre is amazing song though, very addictive. Que buenas estan is worth the money. La gitanilla gives good insight into the truths. Pena tras pena - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. Mambo -5 - This one makes me want to not only sing along. Popurri 2 pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. Album opener Paloma sin nido is a bright, upbeat ditty. Tengo una ilusion is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after La historia la escriben los grandes have ended. I now have Te lo pido por favor as one of my personal favorites. Cierre is beautiful, yet underrated track.
