LOS TEMERARIOS - RECUERDOS DEL ALMA
The duo of siblings Adolfo and Gustavo Angel is the top-selling contemporary romantic Mexican grupo, known for original ballads that blend a grupero vibe with pop-leaning arrangements. But this first studio album in three years veers into territory previously covered by the brothers on “Veintisiete,” a covers album of ranchera standards. Some purists may take issue with arrangements that are gentler than traditional ranchera. But this is the very factor that will allow first single “Sin Que lo Sepas Tu” to get onto pop and regional Mexican radio. Gustavo’s voice can rise to the occasion, even on such rowdier tracks as “Me Cai de la Nube,” while giving them a welcome interpretative twist that’s less about bravura and more about subtlety.
