Review by Jagadeesh Gajula

La Machada El Guayabo: A Merengue Fiesta That’ll Stick With You (Like Chicle on a Hot Day) Let’s cut to the chase: La Machada El Guayabo by Pedro Laza Y Sus Pelayeros is one of those albums that sneaks up on you. It’s not trying too hard, but man, does it deliver. This Colombian gem from Discos Fuentes is pure merengue gold—energetic, unapologetically fun, and just the right amount of cheesy. And yeah, we’ve got Eliseo Herrera belting out vocals like he owns the dance floor. Now, I’m gonna focus on two tracks here because let’s face it, no one has time for a track-by-track breakdown (unless you’re avoiding your responsibilities). First up, “El Guayabo.” Oh boy, this one’s like that friend who shows up late to the party but steals all the attention. The rhythm grabs you by the hips and doesn’t let go—it’s impossible not to move. There’s something about the brass section that feels both polished and raw, like they recorded it in a sweaty studio after downing way too much aguardiente. Herrera’s voice? Smooth as butter on an arepa, baby. Then there’s “La Machada.” If “El Guayabo” is the life of the party, “La Machada” is the secret handshake everyone wants to learn. It’s got this cheeky vibe, almost like it knows it’s cooler than you. The percussion slaps harder than your abuela when you forget to call her on Sundays, and the melody worms its way into your brain faster than reggaeton lyrics at a family reunion. Honestly, I’ve caught myself humming it while stuck in traffic, which says a lot since I usually just scream into the void during rush hour. You might think, “Oh, it’s just another merengue album,” but nah, this thing has layers. Like an empanada stuffed with unexpected goodness, it keeps surprising you. Sure, some parts feel a tad repetitive, but hey, so does my love life, and I still enjoy it. Here’s the kicker: listening to La Machada El Guayabo made me realize how underrated Colombian merengue really is. Everyone talks about salsa or cumbia, but dang, this album proves merengue deserves its own spotlight. Or maybe it reminded me that I need to hit the dance floor more often. Either way, it’s worth spinning if you’re looking for something lively, Latin, and legitimately unforgettable. Final thought? Life’s short. Turn this album up loud, grab someone brave enough to endure your dancing, and remember—you don’t need an excuse to celebrate. Unless you spill your drink; then apologies are mandatory.
