Latin Beat Magazine, April 2005, by Nelson Rodríguez
Vocalist Evaristo Machado debuts with the flashy Luna de Barrio, that gives us an insight to his compositions and is highlighted by the tracks Ella, El Baile del Saoco, Salsa Con Timba and Luna del Barrio.

Juventud Rebelde review by Joaquin Borges-Triana (translated from the Spanish
As a whole, the CD shows us Evaristo’s potential as a singer, who stands out as much by his refinement as by his ability to improvise in the Cuban ‘montunos’ style. Although his objective is to make us dance, he also has the power to give us refined and subtle lyrics, that do not present any type of pretense but rather, when all is said and done, simply dignity and elegance. To give a taste of the tracks on the CD, I call special attention to the cuts ‘Salsa con Timba’, ‘Luna del Barrio’, ‘El Baile del Saoco’ and ‘Por la Carretera’, as well as ‘Desamparado’ (Abandoned), a very good song with certain ‘funky’ style. As a representative Salsa recording that also tries to explain things, I see this as a prelude to more diverse works that I believe are sure to come. (Click here to read the entire review)
