Sabina breaks a 4-year silence with "Vinagre y Rosas" a generous album that includes 14 tracks with the classic "Sabina stamp": elaborate, poetic and smart lyrics. Songs full of sensibility but also with touches of cynicism and black humor. Musically, accompanied by his inseparables pals "Pancho" Varona and Antonio Garcia de Diego, Sabina walks on several roads from ballads to blues and from disguised "rancheras" to New Orleans sound and even 2 or 3 rock songs that he was debt us for a long time. So, along about an hour we're found in "Vinagre y Rosas" the different faces of Sabina: the eternal love's outsider in "Tiramisú de Limón" and "Agua Pasada", the incorrigible in-his-sixties, and picky father in law, in "Viudita de Clicquot" and "Oh! Carmela ", the bard of the times in "Crisis" (surprisingly rocker) and the lifetime rebel in "Violetas Para Violeta", some kind of adaptation of chilean songwriter Violeta Parra song "La Carta", converted by Sabina and company in an exquisite blues that the pace of military drums close the album with Sabina singing "Preguntale a los milicos/Que hicieron en La Moneda" (Ask the milicos (militaries)/What have they done in "La Moneda"). So, showing a great shape, Sabina deliver his fifteen album. A great album. Long life to "El Flaco". -CORANNIEIT-
