Solid bottom rhythms, gripping songs, and weaving accordions combine to make this CD David Lee Garza's best work. The album is also a genre benchmark for its flawless execution and for music that has both tension and drama. High points are many, but clearly unforgettable moments are delivered on the tempo-changing (a rarity in Tejano) "Poquito a Poco," the winsome polka "Mujer Liberada," and the entrancing "Amor de Madrugada." Singer Jay Perez utilizes the full-bodied, throaty delivery needed to convey a credible tough-but-tender macho stance. The zenith, though, comes on the instant classic "Que Trizteza," for its galloping cumbia rhythms and its mix of whip-sharp horns and accordion hooks. The magic comes through the experienced rhythm section of brothers Adam Garza on drums and Richard Garza on bass. Oscar Montemayor provides snappy intros on saxophone, but ultimately, it's Perez's doleful vocals that elevate the tune into anthem status. --Ramiro Burr
