Review by Will Dahm

Album Review: Sonia by Billo's Caracas Boys – A Chaotic Carnival of Latin Vibes Alright, buckle up because diving into Sonia by Billo's Caracas Boys feels like walking into a party where everyone’s dancing but no one agrees on the steps. This Colombian gem from the Tropical label is a wild ride through Guaracha, Cumbia, and Bolero beats that’ll have your feet tapping even if you’re sitting down. And let me tell ya, it’s got enough energy to power a small village—or at least your Spotify playlist. The album kicks off with some bangers like “Jamas Te Olvidare” (yes, they spelled it two ways; we’ll let it slide) and oh boy, does this track stick to your brain like gum under a table. It’s sweet, sticky, and kinda impossible to scrape off. The lyrics are simple enough for anyone who’s ever been dumped or ghosted to relate, but the melody? Pure fire. You can practically hear the trumpets winking at you while the bassline whispers, “Dance, loser!” Spoiler alert: you will. Then there’s “La Tabaquera,” which might as well come with its own smoke machine. This tune is sultry, smooth, and sneaky—kinda like that one friend who always convinces you to do things you regret later. The rhythm pulls you in so effortlessly that before you know it, you're spinning around your living room pretending to be a salsa star. Pro tip: don’t try this after midnight unless you want to wake up your neighbors—and possibly break a lamp. But wait, folks! There’s more! Tracks like “Rumba Jive” and “El Muerto Se Fue De Rumba” sound like what happens when someone accidentally mixes a funeral march with a block party. Is it weird? Absolutely. Does it work? Surprisingly, yes. These songs remind you that life—and music—is messy, unpredictable, and sometimes just plain ridiculous. And honestly, isn’t that beautiful? Now, I gotta admit, not every song here hits the mark. Some tracks feel like filler material—an extra cigarette lit just because the night’s still young (“Un Cigarrillo,” anyone?). But hey, even those moments give you time to catch your breath between all the rumbas and guarachas flying at you left and right. By the time you hit “Cartagena” and “Oui Madame,” you realize this album isn’t just about catchy hooks or fancy genres—it’s about storytelling. Each track paints a little picture of love, loss, joy, and chaos, wrapped up in vibrant rhythms that scream, “We’re alive, dammit!” So, would I recommend Sonia? Absolutely. It’s imperfect, over-the-top, and occasionally confusing—but isn’t that true of most great parties? Listening to this album feels like being invited to a shindig where nobody speaks the same language, yet somehow everyone ends up laughing together anyway. Weird flex, but I’m into it. Final thought: If this album were a person, it’d probably show up late to dinner wearing mismatched shoes and still manage to charm everyone in the room. Now THAT’S talent.
