A fellow DR1 poster asked me for my feedback on this new release by Raulin Rodriguez and I will reply to the PM but I figured I would share my thoughts with those of you who are interested and also share the same admiration for bachata and Raulin?s music.
I must say Raulin has done it again and has certainly shown a different aspect of his musical ability. This new release titled A d?nde ir? sin ti is a musical treasure. This album will definitely compete with some of more popular bachata artists in today?s musical sphere. The instrumentation on this cd is unique as Raulin is usually predictable but I hear some unique musical nuances that add a special touch to many of the songs. The cd is composed of nine bachatas, one merengue (superb!) and a very good rendition of the infamous Cuban song Guantanamera en bachata which is the last song on the album.
The female vocalist that has accompanied Raulin since the beginning of his career is his sister Casilda and for the first time she does a solo on his album. Song number five is sung by Casilda-Lo mejor que me ha pasado.
To those of you who like soft sounding danceable bachata with sentimental lyrics add this cd to your collection. You will not be disappointed.
