Grupo Genesis' self-titled album is a vibrant and energetic offering that showcases the band's impressive musical chops and infectious Latin rhythms. The album features a mix of classic and original tracks that blend traditional Latin styles with contemporary influences, resulting in a sound that is both timeless and fresh.

From the opening notes of "La Negra Tomasa," the album's first track, listeners are transported to a world of swirling horns, driving percussion, and soulful vocals. The band's musicianship is on full display throughout the album, with standout performances from the horn section on tracks like "El Pajaro Chogui" and "Mambo Inn."

One of the album's highlights is the original track "La Cumbia de las Flores," a catchy and upbeat tune that showcases the band's ability to write infectious melodies while staying true to their Latin roots. The album also features a number of classic Latin tunes, including "El Manicero" and "El Cumbanchero," which are given fresh and exciting new arrangements.
