I was not familiar with Roberto Carlos but looking him up in Wikipedia I learned he is the King of Brazilian Music. Portuguese is his native language but this C.D. is in Spanish. He is likely the biggest star of all time in Latin America. None of his songs are familiar to me but I especially like the beat and the sound of "Mi Cacharrito" (Road Hog). He got a loaner from the car repair shop and talks about how the girls loved his car which he drove around town at 10 miles and hour. It is a very funny song and he adds sound effects like beep beep. His C.D. is mostly love songs and this is a nice change. This song is actually one of his earlier songs.
Roberto Carlos if known for popularizing pop rock in Brazil. His influence extends beyond Brazil's borders. Other songs I liked on the C.D. are "Lady Laura," "El Gato Que Está Triste y Azul". (The Cat that is Sad and Blue), and "Amada Amante" (beloved lover). I enjoyed this set of songs.
