The gentleness of Esencia Solar provides a blissful link between earnest indie folk and elegant bossa nova. Adan Jodorowsky is enraptured with Brazilian rhythms, letting those percolating drums provide a perfectly infectious backdrop for his softly murmured vocals and delicate folk guitar. While the rapturous Natalia Lafourcade duet "Vivir con Valor" offers an undeniable standout, "Vagabundos de Otro Mundo" perhaps captures the album's entrancingly languid vibe best, sweetening things further with a dash of dreamy '70s soft rock.
