Déjame Entrar may have won a GRAMMYⓇ for Best Traditional Tropical Latin Album, but there isn’t much that’s traditional about it. Carlos Vives’ 10th album found him experimenting freely with rock, funk, son, merengue and a variety of Colombian folkloric elements. Rock meets hot Latin funk for “Papadió”, while “Quiero Verte Sonreir”, an irresistible ballad, has a laidback coastal feel. Vives is at his best, however, on openhearted pop-vallenato anthems like the title track and “Santa Elegia”.
