Editorial Review:
Founded by Mexico's Leonel García and Argentina's Noel Shajris, Sin Bandera is a vocal duet that performs polished, extremely melodic pop songs celebrating the vicissitudes of love. The lyrics are in Spanish, but the group's sound is informed by the kind of glossy production values and palatable keyboard lines that define most mainstream American productions. That's not to say that Sin Bandera is totally devoid of the Latin tinge, however. The rhythmic structure of the opening "Para Alcanzarte," for instance, is enhanced by a percolating salsa line from pianist Hector Infanzon, and the sinuous, delicate ballad "A Primera Vista" includes the instrumental contribution of Joselo Rangel, lead guitarist of premier rock-en-español band Café Tacuba. Even though the duet's openly commercial aspirations are apparent throughout the album's 10 tracks, there's also a bohemian atmosphere that permeates the procedures, as if Sin Bandera had recorded these tunes in a solitary café, late at night, drunk with the power of their own poetry. Lovers of quality--and slightly melodramatic--Latin pop will think of Sin Bandera as an indispensable arrival to the genre. --Ernesto Lechner

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great voices!
These 2 have such amazing voices and their harmonies and beautiful. They sound like they were meant to sing together and each song is sung with such feeling. I highly recommend Sin Banderas to anyone that loves to hear great music, great voices, great harmonies....etc.
Rating: - the debut album of one of the best Latin pop duos today....
I had to make this album a part of my CD collection, since I already have "De Viaje" and "Manana," Sin Bandera's 2nd and 3rd albums. Their self-titled debut definitely showcases them well, and this was only the beginning! The best way to describe their sound is "fusion." They combine pop riffs, salsa beats, flamenco and even ranchera music with their own unique flavor and beautiful harmonies. Some of the strongest songs here are "Entra Mi Vida" (featured in pop, ranchera and grupero style on ... Read More
Rating: - Wonderful!
This is a great CD! It's some of the best work these two have put out. The still do many of this album's songs on tour. I highly recommend catching them if ya can!
Rating: - Saving music
While American music was stagnating and wholly uninspired in the last few years I was wondering if and when it would get it's act together. Mindless pop tunes with no soul autotuned to sterile perfection blared on every radio channel I knew that there had to be a glimmer of light somewhere to save music. I endured a few more years of this and finally it took me moving to San Diego California in 2002 to know that while American music had lost its passion the rest of the world however had not. Driving ... Read More
Rating: - I don't even speak Spanish
I went to boarding school for senior year and my roommate was Mexican and played this album incessantly and I was addicted so I bought it also. It's such a great album. My favourite's are Sirena and Te Vi Venir
