La Marcha del Golazo Solitario (Spanish for The March of The Lonely Huge Goal) Released in 1999 is the ninth studio album from the Argentine Ska Reggae Latin Rock band Los Fabulosos Cadillacs to reach gold.Certification
This is the last studio album from the band before taking a nine year hiatus. Among the singles were the commercially successful "La Vida" and "Vos Sabés", whose video was censured in some countries for showing nudes. "Los Condenaditos" combines samba beats with bluesy slide guitar and a wall of horns. There's even an instrumental Latin-jazz number, "57 Almas".
Reception The Allmusic review by Victor W. Valdivia awarded the album 2.5 stars stating "The thrash metal guitars and wild tempo changes have been abandoned for a jazzy, Brazilian feel. "C.J." is a straight bossa nova track... while "Los Condenaditos" marries samba beats to bluesy slide guitar and a wall of horns. Lyrically, the band has toned down the quirky humor as well, preferring to write songs that are more reflective and philosophical, although there is still plenty of smart-ass humor to be found... Though Marcha is a frequently enjoyable listen, one can't help but feel that it's a bit of a step back (or at least sideways) after the peaks of their previous two albums, both of which would ultimately serve as better introductions to the Fabulosos Cadillacs".Valdivia, V.
