PAPITO is a clean, masterfully produced album that celebrates the near 30-year career of singer/actor Miguel Bose. "Nena" opens the album with a playful dance duet, while "Morenamia" plays to the listeners' laidback sensibilities, interweaving the accordion with loungy electronic reggae beats and the smooth vocals of Julieta Venegas. Boasting other duets with Shakira, Ricky Martin, and R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe, PAPITO breathes new life into Bose's past hits. The album is also eclectic in its musical arrangements, incorporating strings, the Cuban tres guitar and even bagpipes, giving songs like "Si Tu No Vuelves" a rich sound. When all these amazing elements come together, it becomes clear that Miguel Bose is a step apart from other balladeers, making PAPITO a must-have in your music collection.
