Pentagono’s “Pentagono” Album: A Rollercoaster of Emotions You Can’t Ignore
Let me just say this upfront—Pentagono's self-titled album Pentagono is one of those records that sneaks up on you. Released in 2018, it blends Hip-Hop/Rap with Latin vibes, Pop Latino flair, and even some ballad-heavy moments. It's like they took all the feels from Venezuela and Colombia, threw them into a musical blender, and hit puree. What came out? Something raw, real, and unforgettable.
Now, let’s talk tracks because there are way too many to cover (seriously, how did they fit so much onto one album?). But two songs stuck with me like gum on a hot sidewalk: “No Digas Adios” and “Un Poco De Amor.”
“No Digas Adios” hits different. Like, really different. Emiro Delgado’s lead vocals here feel like he’s whispering secrets straight into your soul. The bassline by Elías Pérez? So smooth it could lull a crying baby to sleep—or make you want to cry yourself. This track isn’t just music; it’s therapy for anyone who’s ever had to say goodbye but didn’t really mean it. Every time I hear it, I’m transported back to my own messy goodbyes, and honestly, it hurts so good.
Then there’s “Un Poco De Amor,” which feels like sunshine bottled up and poured directly into your ears. Mery D’Acquisto’s harmonies alongside Emiro give it this layered warmth that wraps around you like an old blanket. And don’t even get me started on Rafael D’Acquisto’s keyboard work—it adds this dreamy texture that makes you wanna close your eyes and float away. There’s something about this song that reminds me of lazy Sundays spent staring at the ceiling, wondering if love will ever knock on my door again. Spoiler alert: it probably won’t, but hey, at least we’ve got this tune.
The rest of the album keeps the momentum going strong. Tracks like “Sueños” and “Te Extraño” bring their own brand of heartache, while cuts like “Swing Pt. 2” (with DJ Primo, Flora Matos, and Projota) throw in some multicultural spice that makes you realize how versatile Pentagono truly is. Even covers like “Hotel California” get reimagined in ways that leave you nodding along like, "Oh wow, I didn’t know I needed this version until now."
What strikes me most about this project is its humanity. These aren’t perfect studio-polished tracks—they’re alive. You can hear the grit in Emiro’s voice, the passion in Lorena Serrano’s backing vocals, and the undeniable chemistry between everyone involved. It’s messy, heartfelt, and unapologetically authentic.
And then, as I was wrapping up writing this review, I noticed something kinda funny. For an album called Pentagono, it doesn’t have five sides—it has twenty-five freaking tracks! Who does that?! It’s almost like they were daring us to keep up, to dive deeper into their world without coming up for air. Maybe that’s why it sticks with you long after the last note fades.
In the end, Pentagono isn’t just an album—it’s a vibe, a mood, a reminder that life is complicated and beautiful all at once. So grab your headphones, press play, and prepare to feel things you didn’t know you needed to feel. Just maybe don’t listen alone—you’ll wanna share these emotions with someone else. Trust me on this one.
