A Flor de Piel, the new album from singer-songwriter and composer Maria Monica Gutierrez (aka Montañera), is a meditative journey of self-discovery across oceans, time, and the traditional confines of genre. Originally from Bogota, Colombia, Gutierrez began the album as a way to explore her identity after a difficult move to London left her feeling untethered in a strange new place. The result is an examination of the immigrant's experience through a rich sonic lens of ambient pop textures, inspired by sources as disparate as Colombian traditional music, traditional Senegalese music, and whalesong from the depths of the Atlantic. The album begins with the title track "A Flor de Piel," Gutierrez's indelible vocals floating above a vast expanse before being joined by deep, silky bass and the plucks of a koto-like stringed instrument. "The song was inspired by traditional Japanese music," Gutierrez explains, "It's about making my heart a little lighter; I know that inside of me I can be as light as mist in heat, I can be fragile as the song of a sparrow." That sentiment perfectly encapsulates much of what makes A Flor de Piel so special. The album comes with a message of healing for all people, without forgetting the centuries of struggle and hurt that form the bedrock of modern society. The track "Santa Mar," for instance, is inspired by the musical traditions of afro-pacific women in Colombia, and the crucial role that they play as peacebuilders in the region. Backed by a hypnotic beat, the song features contributions from marimba player Cankita, alongside Las Cantadoras de Yerba Buena, an all-female vocal group that utilizes traditional Afro-Colombian music to preserve their history and promote peace. Standout track "Como Una Rama" is a futuristic take on bullerengue, a traditional style of music and dance originally developed by Maroon communities on Colombia's Caribbean coast. Deeply affecting, the song combines Gutierrez's indomitable voice with electronics that recall Steve Reich's rhythmic minimalism. "Cruzar," the final track on the album, feels almost like a lullaby, with a meditative harmonic style and trance-like vocal melody. "The lyrics," Gutierrez explains, "are a personal reminder of what is important to me: healing, letting go, breathing, evaporating, forgetting, changing, crystallizing." Across the 40-odd minutes of A Flor de Piel, Gutierrez triumphs at recontextualizing traditional sounds and sentiments into a modern form using synth-based and electronic textures. It's a fitting representation for the personal struggles that the artist endured during her move to London. Rather than dwelling solely on the past Guitierrez uses A Flor de Piel to summon the strength of past generations, and forge a new path forward. As she describes it, "The album has accompanied me through inner journeys of finding myself in a new territory - of redefining myself, of remembering who I am - in a strange place." As we drift towards an increasingly frightening and uncertain future, perhaps Montañera's A Flor de Piel is exactly what we need: something to give us strength, to bring us peace, and to accompany our journey into a strange new place.

Decent read for either fan
Format: Paperback
The illustrations were great for what I was looking for and come to expect from the genre. The story wasn't bad but Wolverine spent most of the time brooding through thought bubbles and was protected a couple of times by plot armor. Also, not sure if the ending is possible given his regenerative mutation...Deadpool probably but I didn't think Logan's worked like that.

Good read.

Instant classic. I'll file this under the parallel universe concept. That way , the pure Marvel Universe timeline goes unstained.

Faithful to the soap's original scent
Scent: Original Citrus + Eucalyptus
I love the Huron Original Citrus + Eucalyptus bar soap so much, I started looking at the cologne from the same company. I collect (too many) fragrances, and love having different scents to choose from depending on the day and occasion. I have plenty of warmer scents, but not enough freshies that I really like. After reading other reviews here on Amazon, I figured this was a safe bet. And I was right! Performance is great. I use it on my skin only (because I only really want my wife and I smelling me...not everyone else who I walk by). It lasts me 8+ hours easily. And the fragrance is true to the original scent I know from Huron's soap. Exactly what I wanted. It's a very fair price for a cologne that performs this well, and I can wear it anywhere for any purpose, very versatile. The bottle is nice and the atomizer is strong and even.

Breathe in my essence and remember me!
Scent: Original Citrus + Eucalyptus
Alright, listen up, because I’m about to let you in on the best-kept secret in men’s fragrance. This right here—Huron Eau de Parfum—is not just a cologne. Oh no, this is a power move in a bottle. You spritz this on, and it’s like stepping into a world where you’ve just conquered a mountain, tamed a wild stallion, and shaken hands with destiny. Crisp citrus, fresh eucalyptus, a hint of mint, and aromatic greens—it’s like Mother Nature whipped up a scent just for men who are ready to take on the world. We’re talking about a cologne that’s refreshing enough to wake you up better than a cold shower and bold enough to say, “Yeah, I’m here. And I smell damn fantastic.” And here’s the kicker: this stuff is long-lasting. None of that “spray it in the morning, gone by lunchtime” nonsense. No, this baby’s got stamina—just like any real champion should. You’ll still be smelling like a million bucks well after the day is done. And let’s not forget the ingredients: safe, clean, the kind of stuff that says, “I care about what I’m putting on my skin because I’m a class act.” So if you’re looking for a fragrance that says champion, look no further. Huron Eau de Parfum is that fresh, invigorating smell of victory bottled up just for you. Five stars. Because this is for men who don’t just live life—they dominate it.
