Guide Review - CD Review: Conjunto Primavera - Algo De Mi
Of course, its easier to do when you collaborate with some really fine composers writing numbers especially for you. On this album, their break out single, "Aldo De Mi" was composed by Monterrey, Mexico native Osvaldo Villareal and tells a story about what happens at the end of a relationship.
The recording is graced with the rich voice of Tony Melendez and expressful saxaphone by Juan Dominguez. Driving polkas and lilting waltzes are perfect for dancing. "Te Necessito" and "No Se Decirte Adios" add a distinctive pop flavor, with the latter adding some untypical orchestral string background.
If you are one of the many misguided music listeners that think accordion music is unsophisticated and 'Lady of Spain'-ish, be sure to listen to "Dejame Decirte" where accordionist/keyboardist Felix Contreras works his fingers to the bone playing a brilliant counterpoint to the melody.
