Editorial Reviews

The Mexican pop group Kabah takes its name from a 10-chambered, ancient Mayan structure and mystical energy zone in the Yucatán Peninsula. The name roughly means "Temple of Masks." Since Kabah's 1993 debut, this talented sextet of singers--Federica, André, Maria Jose, Sergio, Daniela, and René--have fully revealed their up-to-date take on Latin pop. On this CD, their third release, they place urban dance grooves at the top of their musical altar; there's no ballad in sight on this set. High-energy techno beats percolate club-friendly cuts such as the title track, while "Nada Que Perder" rocks with a strobe-light-happy bounce that would make Giorgio Moroder smile. "Ven" rolls with a rave ritmo (with a little rap thrown in), and "Es Como Es" is just funky enough. The group's harmony is tight, and the prominence of the girls' vocals out in front make this outfit fun to listen to. Eugene Holley, Jr.

5 out of 5 stars COOL!!!!.......2004-03-27

This CD has to be the best of the group. I like them all except LLAMAME it's so soft and boring and the song VEN you don't understand what the girl says. She's singing in french or in another language. But it's still a great CD thanks to the other songs like LA VIDA QUE VA, TODO Y NADA, NADA QUE PERDER, and CASI AL FINAL. But LA VIDA QUE VA is better than the rest of the songs. Every KABAH fan should get it.

5 out of 5 stars Casi Al Final....Que Excelente ALBUM.......2004-02-16

ES UNA CD DE CANCIONES PARA ADOLESCENTES PARA GENTE JOVEN, CREO QUE SI ALGUIEN MAYOR ESCUCHASE ESTE CD SE ABURRIRIA MUCHO PORQUE COMO DIJE ES UN CD PARA GENTE JOVEN LAS CANCIONES SON MUY DIVERTIDAS AUNQUE NO TENGAN UN MENSAJE TE ENTRETIENEN UN MONTON Y NUNCA TE ABURRES DE ESCUCHARLO.

5 out of 5 stars A really great CD!!!!.......2004-02-16

This CD must be the best CD the group has done. I especially like "La vida que va". Everybody who likes pop music should get this CD!

5 out of 5 stars Más que lo casual; it's original 100%.......2003-11-20

"La vida que va" has to be Kabah's best album (not taking in account "La calle de las Sirenas). This album is an album that has one purpose: make ANYONE dance 'til she or he can no longer stay up. Every track has a techno or rave sound. De verdad que Kabah se llevo un 100 en esta producción. With this album, Kabah really exposed what Latin Pop has to offered. With the exception of one song, 12 0f 13 tracks are fast and very danceable.

In this production, Kabah included some foreign languages--- a lá French ("VEN") & to the English ("CASI AL FINAL")--- as the songs main and bridge chorus.

The best tracks are the self title song, "Al tiempo volverás", "Nada que perder", "Ven", "Casi al final", and "Es como es".

You do not need to speak English to be able to understand the song, the music speaks for itself; if you are a Fan of Latin music and dance, this album should be not missing from your CD collection.

p.s. SOY COMO QUIERO SER, NADA QUE PERDER, TEMER, SOY COMO QUIERO SER, NADA QUE ESCONDER, Y NO IMPORTA, NADA IMPORTA, SOY COMO QUIERO SER.

4 out of 5 stars Kabah's best album yet.......2003-01-20

My first impression when I played this CD is that they are looking to branch out from the synth-pop roots; a number of songs sound almost like filks of songs I have heard before but can not quite recognize, giving me a sense of deja vu.

My second impression is that Kabah is still struggling to move past their roots as a teeny-bopper band. Some of the stuff has a distinct fluffy quality to it that is the musical equivalent of riding a scooter--fun to listen to, but never admit to anyone that you enjoy the music.

Experienced studio engineers who listen closely to some of the vocals will realize that the singers did a little cheating with voice pitch correcters. I actually think it sounded better back when they heavily reverberated the voices with a Lexicon 480L; the Lexicon trick was particularily effective with their older song "Amor Estudiante".

My main impression, however, is that this is one great album! The CD, as a whole, has an euro-techno feel to it; there are a number of distinct styles of modern synth-pop dance music on this album. As always, the message and music is uplifting and positive, and the beats are dancable. Additionally, the vocal harmonies are even stronger in this album than they were in previous albums, especially in the songs "Vivir por mi", "Tu", and "Llamarme". Federica does an excellent vocal rap in "Ven"; it is the most enjoyable part of that particular song.

The strongest song on the CD is probably its second single, Esta Noche, which has a octave bass line, a la "Blue Monday" by New Order. A very uplifting and positive song with a distinct Mexican flare to it.

I am a little dissapointed that the US version of this album does not have the Big Brother theme to it as a hidden track (I tried both rewinding from song one and going past the last song; in both cases, nothing); it is better to buy this album in México so that one can get the hidden bonus track. The CD has no attempts at "copy protection", you can rip mp3s to listen to on portable players and put on your hard disk.

This album is Kabah's best work so far; I hope their up-and-coming 2003 album is even better. 4 stars out of 5; minus one star for having too much of a teen-bop quality to it and for making the vocal pitch correcter too obvious.
