Jakks – “Fuego En Tu Piel”    
By: Silver arina
   
English version: Daniel Tavares    

Who would ever say that one of the greatest promises in the nowadays Hard Rock is in Latin America?

The Jakks started its activities in 2006 in Buenos Aires, Argentina’s capital. The Band calls attention because of its 80´s hard rock style, clear in their sound and image, ending up with the feeling that this style was outdated. After some Gigs in Argentina, the group released its first record called “Fuego En Tu Piel”(that is going to have an English version and can be checked in the Band´s Mypsace, link at the end of the text).

“Fuego en Tu Piel” was recorded during October of 2007 in the Puromastering Studios and was produced by the great Max Scenna, who has worked with the Argentinean group Soda Stereo and with the Colombian singer Shakira.

To conclude, the album is a trip to the 80´s with chorus sung in choir, impressible vocals, excellent guitar recording, energetic solos, hard and pulsating bass, amazing drums and at last but not least, calm and captivating keyboards. The songs sound a lot like the ones made by the dynamic duo Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora in the golden Bon Jovi times, between the years 1984 and 1989. We can call groups like TNT, White Lion, Dokken and Europe as influences. We can expect good things from that.

Although my suggestion is the listening of all the tracks of “Fuego En Tu Piel”, I am forced to tell that some tracks deserve a special attention like the awesome “Retroceder Nunca”, “Por Tu Amor”, “Solo Una Obsesion”, the wonderful “Angel De Mis Sueños” in acoustic version and title-track.

To conclude, dear reader, if you like a cool hair metal with all the tiny details that the style delivers, Jakks is the band that deserves all my Respect!!
