Hola The
Allmusic review by Victor W. Valdivia awarded the album 3 stars stating "Hola stakes the band's claim as one of the finest live acts anywhere. For one thing, the set list is superbly chosen. Rather than relying on the most recent album the band was touring to support the set list reaches all the way back to their first album and picks many classic tracks from all the albums in between"... Some tracks already were tailor-made for a live audience and are predictably superlative, but others reveal added power in concert. "Calaveras y Diablitos," already first-rate, becomes downright sublime when accompanied by an audience, while "Yo Quiero Morirme Aca," which sounded thin and tentative in its original studio version, becomes muscular and fierce on-stage. It's not quite the same as actually being there but Hola is one of los Fabulosos Cadillacs' most vital recordings.
Chau The
Allmusic review by Victor W. Valdivia awarded the album 3 stars stating "The companion piece to the live album Hola, recorded at the same shows in Argentina, contains less-accessible material than Hola (although it does contain their most famous song, "Matador," which, predictably, sounds even more thunderous live)... The album works because the more thoughtful, reflective songs, like "Siguiendo La Luna," translate to the stage far better than could be imagined, especially when the audience sings along. "Vasos Vacios," especially, becomes downright sublime and "Salvador Y Los Cordones Flojos," hardly a standout on La Marcha de Golazo Solitario, reveals a new complexity and power. Chau may be a half-step below as accessible as its companion, Hola, but by no means is it forgettable, and fans and newcomers alike will definitely find a lot to like here". == Track listing ==
