What a delight this album is! The talented Quijano brothers, who were famously known as Cafe Quijano, are now presenting beautiful original love songs in the traditional bolero style of yesteryear. Romantic lyrics are alive and well in this collection showcasing heartfelt sentiments and excellent musicality that draw you into each song. The arrangements are very reminiscent of the latin boleros and the vocal interpretations convey romance at every turn (pay close attention to "Como Siempre" and the more rhythmic "Prometo"). Manuel Quijano composed the music and lyrics and his deep understanding and love for this genre is reflected in each selection.
