Aguilera is a good singer with a talent for finding simple melodies amidst rather complex songs. On "El Fluir" the band decided to record live and to cut back on the keyboard and programmed additions to their music. Surprisingly, the result is not an over-the-top jamfest but rather a very tightly arranged set of songs that hint at the overwhelming power they will possess in concert. As always, the two guitar interplay between Aguilera and Otaola is not to be missed as they exhaust all forms of playing together and against one another (with Otaola pulling all sorts of radical sounds out of his guitar). "El Fluir" is their first US release since "Tempestad" in 1998. This edition is further sweetened by the inclusion of a previously unreleased bonus track and a video for the first single "Pare de Sufrir."
Their latest offering is Piedad Ciudad (2010, Fonarte, Fonca).

estamos en Bagdad, estamos en Bagdad
Te abrazo lentamente hasta que una electricidad
te abrazo, cierro los ojos y estamos en Bagdad
estamos en Bagdad, estamos en Bagdad
estamos en Bagdad, estamos en Bagdad
