There is an important website in English dedicated to Latin music called Club Fonograma; let's just say it's like the Pitchfork of Latin music. If your album is reviewed by them, then you should be considered lucky. They have very good reviews and I enjoy reading them a lot, since they are easy to understand but they still show the complexity of music. 

So whenever I see that an album that they reviewed received a high score, I listen to it, like for example, Doble ola EP (In English: "Double Wave EP") by El sueño de la casa propia (In English: "The dream of owning the house" or something like that), the project by the Chilean electronic artist José Manuel Cerda.

While I was reading the review written by Pierre Lestruhaut, it was one of the few times in which I could not only understand his opinion but also feel and sense his words in my own ears while I listened to the music: "The first 20 seconds of 'Balbina' come as close to noise as anything else in Doble ola, but by the time the piano arpeggios hit the surface there isn’t a single doubt remaining: José Manuel Cerda isn’t here to indulge in fist-fucking your ears, he’s here to give you a 4-minute session of continuous eargasms. Nowhere else will the EP aim for such luxury, but it’s top-notch sequencing makes it so that the climax is not only reached after just the ideal amount of foreplay (the catchiness/dance conflation of 'Caen Rocas', the guitar licks/marimba ethereal combo of 'Peinados de fuego'), but also given its due period of relaxation (leisurely paced, flute-sampling 'Pobre Ave')."
