El Mundo Se Equivoca - La Quinta (5a) Estacion

"El Mundo Se Equivoca" (The World is Mistaken/Wrong), is La Quinta (5a) Estacion's (The 5th Season) 3rd album, and features some great music - just listen to "Me Muero" (I Die - don't worry, it's not as morbid as the title makes it out to be), which features trumpets and other traditionally Mexican musical forms (which is odd, considering that La Quinta Estacion is a Spanish group), "Suenos Rotos" (Broken Dreams), a stripped-down, simple, touching ballad with just a piano and the powerful, beautiful voice of Natalia Jimenez (lead singer). OMG. If you need a reason to listen to this group, make it Nataliz Jimenez - she has a voice that is overflowing talent and raw energy; just listening to her can inspire one to sing in the shower ~ And, obviously, she sounds better live than on the recording.

Of course, listening to these songs without the lyrics is like searching for a pin in a dark room. So, of course, I've posted some links to the songs I've mentioned.
