by James Christopher Monger Andrés Cabas Rosales is not the new Ricky Martin. Although his naked torso features prominently throughout the packaging of his self-titled sophomore release, Cabas, any similarities are dispelled upon listening to the genre-bending collection of songs inside. The Columbia-born multi-instrumentalist and songwriter succeeds in paying homage to his heroes and remaining edgy at the same time. Slick, modern-rock guitars plow through Latin percussion on the brutal "Bolita De Trapo" and the catchy opener "La Caderona." Cabas has a gift for melody and nowhere does that shine through more than on the mesmerizing "La Conquista." The labyrinthine string arrangements and soaring vocals are comparable to Milton Nascimento and L Borges, whose work in the early 1970s has influenced, inspired, and informed so many aspiring Latino composers. Cabas closes the record with the plaintive "Primer amor," a warm, simple love song that, like the rest of Cabas, stays with you long after the stereo goes dim.
