Lo Que Me Dijo El Viento by Correo Aereo

Abel, who plays the harp and the huapanguera as well as sings, is amazing."

-David Hidalgo

Los Lobos

"Remarkable fact is that Abel's compositions Cuatrapeado and the very moving De Mis Memorias blend so well with the traditionals.... Traditional and contemporary at the same time, but most of all beautiful, very beautiful."

-Marc Nolis

RootsTown Music Review, BELGIUM

"Within the first three of the 15 songs on the CD this duo's dexterity shines through. In "Cuatrapeado,'' Rocha's guitar builds in an ever fuller and faster crescendo for nearly two minutes before his reedy voice slides in, backed by Sosin's sultry vocals, gradually upping the dramatic tension until the end. Switching mood and tempo in "Pena Huasteca,'' the duo blend their voices together over Sosin's plaintive violin, Rocha playing a supporting rhythm with his guitar. Then, with the traditional upbeat but minor-key Venezuelan tune "Fiesta Lllanera,'' it's instrumental virtuoso time for the duo, Sosin's maracas providing a rhythmic velvet background for Rocha's rapid yet lush harp playing.'

'It's that blend of contrasts that makes "Lo Que Me Dijo El Viento'' a jewel. "
