Sparx’s most recent album is entitled Caminos Del Amor and it strives to
depict all the strange and surprising paths of love. Each of the 10 singles on
the album addresses love in a different way. “Sentimiento” is a funky ranchera
fusion, while “Morenito” brings out the brass instruments and a cumbia beat to
keep listeners moving. “Si No Existieras” is smooth and romantic. “Yo Decido” is
one of the most exciting tracks on the album, it gives Sparx a chance to let
loose, sing, play vocally with it;s original background vocals and this song has
an attitude. “Yo Decido” is about being cheated on. Two members of Sparx
expanded their already impressive range of musical achievement on this album.
Rosamaria co-wrote “Que Bueno Bailas” and “Yo Decido.” Carolina composed the
creative sound of “Yo Decido.” Sparx is know for the variety of musical style
their music employs; everything from Corrido, cumbias, Ballads and Boleros.
These four sisters have sold over a million albums. The group has toured
extensively through South America, Mexico and the United States. Many of their
songs have been top 10 on Billboards Latin charts, and they have also charted on
Billboards top selling Latin Albums. Sparx vocal prowess and beautiful harmony
makes for a great show.
Lorenzo Antonio left the Colorado State Fair in the midst of a standing ovation
on his last visit. The same talent and stage presence that got his audience off
their feet in 2003 is characteristic of Lorenzo as a performer. His current
album, Canta Rancheras y Mass is the fastest selling album of his career. Canta
Rancheras y Mass contains “Mis Padres” a song Lorenzo has dedicated to his
parents and all parents in the world. The new album has a first for Lorenzo
Antonio, up to this point he has been on stage with only his voice, now he will
also be playing the guitar. For a man who sold over a million records by the
time he was 12 years old, to have a album such as Canta Rancheras y Mass, where
he is able to show off a his guitar is exciting. With sheer musical talent
Lorenzo has earned a mantle full of awards and platinum and gold records for
both singing and song writing. Lorenzo has toured all over Mexico, South America
and the United States. Songs like “Doce Rosas” helped make Lorenzo’s career.
From “Doce Rosas” Lorenzo topped subsequently with “Como, Cuando y Porque” and
hits such as “Loco Enamorado” composed by Juan Gabriel. As a song writer he has
composed hits such as “ Te Amo, Te Amo, Te Amo” and Mandame Flores” performed by
his sisters, Sparx. Canta Rancheras y Mass is a great album that gives a
talented singer, songwriter and musician a chance to share his skill.

premier mariachi groups in New Mexico but their recognition doesn’t stop there,
they are highly regarded in their art throughout the United States and the
