REVIEW
“Paulino and Eloy Bernal both possessed marvelous voices and like so many musical siblings were capable of the most sublime vocal harmony to be heard from any Tex-Mex conjunto. There are plenty of glorious examples of that here together with ample evidence of Paulino’s special talent on the accordeon such as his polka Melinda with its unexpected melodic turns. The bolero Por La Misma Senda is a masterpiece of accordeon precision and vocal delicacy various ballads allow the harmonies full rein and as a bonus Carmen Marroquín duets divinely with Paulino on two tracks. Superb.”
