Various - Rocket En Español Vol 1

Review by Alex T

The album Rocket En Español by Various is a vibrant and eclectic collection of Spanish-language rock and pop hits. Featuring tracks from some of the most iconic Latin American artists of the past few decades, including Gustavo Cerati, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, and Café Tacvba, this album is a must-have for fans of Latin music.

The album starts off with the energetic and catchy "De Música Ligera" by Argentine rock band Soda Stereo, setting the tone for the rest of the record. The tracks that follow offer a diverse range of sounds and styles, from the ska-infused "El Mató a un Policía Motorizado" by Los Cocineros to the dreamy and atmospheric "Carnaval" by Mexican group La Gusana Ciega.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "La Vida Tómbola" by Spanish singer-songwriter Manu Chao. With its infectious melody and sing-along chorus, this song is sure to get listeners dancing and singing along. Other highlights include the hauntingly beautiful "Puente" by Chilean singer-songwriter Jorge González and the upbeat and anthemic "El Baile de los Que Sobran" by Chilean rock band Los Prisioneros.
