Los Askis' Quién Te Robo el Corazón? is a hidden Latin gem of 1999. This Mexican octet brings together guitars, accordion, pan pipes, and percussion for an enchanting collection of cumbia andina music. Every tune's melody is memorable--even in Spanish--and the singing, especially during the call-and-response passages, rings out in joyous sincerity. Highlights include the beautiful "Quién Te Robo el Corazón?" and the airy "Te Dare una Rosa," which feature an unnamed guest female vocalist whose round voice exudes sensuality and passion. The guitar on "Negrita" spices the album with a discordant rock opening that fools you into disappointment before launching into a lovely, harmonious song with swinging rhythms and rich layered percussion. Outstanding. --Karen Karleski
