Review by Susana Torey Holota

Javier Del Valle's latest album, Tiempo De Llorar Viva Maria, is a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Mexican actress and singer, Maria Felix. The album features a collection of classic boleros and rancheras, all beautifully arranged and performed by Del Valle.

From the opening track, "La Llorona," Del Valle's rich and soulful voice sets the tone for the album. He brings a deep sense of emotion to each song, capturing the passion and pain of love and loss that defines the bolero genre.

The album's standout tracks include "Amarga Navidad," a melancholic ballad that showcases Del Valle's impressive vocal range, and "La Bikina," a lively ranchera that will have listeners tapping their toes and singing along.

Throughout the album, Del Valle's musicianship is on full display, with intricate guitar work and tasteful accompaniment from his band. The production is top-notch, with each instrument and voice perfectly balanced to create a warm and inviting sound.
