If Paco Hunter says that it is number one in the tops of Acapulco I believe. I believe because I heard the album and by doing so it is easy to understand how one can live in Portugal and have his head in the other side of the ocean. Paco Hunter sounds right, makes sense and is worthwile.

What jumps to the ears is the lazy way in which references are mixed up and let to boil.(...) It is not in everyone's reach to play cowboys without compromising traditions. In this record, Paco Hunter seems to do it.

There are 20 reasons that grab our ears to an auditive piercing to be used in our home CD player, in the old diesel van, at a bar where we feel out of place, in weddings and even in gipsy funerals.
No.1 in Acapulco is not a record, No.1 in Acapulco is a Must!

The brothers Zé Nando Pimenta and PZ Pimenta are not unheard of. They have been behind some of the most unique music adventures that is being made in Portugal in the context of the Meifumado label. No. 1 in Acapulco is a fantasy, or a starting point for both in the company of some accomplices, that draws a warm and exotic universe with hints of country, folk, jazz, funk, bossa or rock, exposing similar doses of irony and authenticity. One can hear instrumental rotations at variable speeds, a bassy voice (PZ Pimenta), a narcotic balance and a caliente atmosphere that sticks to the skin.
