En Vida

Banda Los Sebastianes stack their latest sprawling opus with the joyously excessive horn arrangements and drunk-on-passion choruses that have become their signature. These over-the-top románticas are, once again, elegantly polished but dynamically propulsive, practically destined to soundtrack the glitzy melodrama of the first banda-inspired Las Vegas spectacle. Ravishing ballads like “Te Dedico" almost bury the band's creamy vocals in brass explosions perfectly timed to leave you breathless, but the unexpectedly sensual “Duele El Corazón” also raises goose bumps as it rolls through a subtle and sinuous cumbia.
