THE OTHER SIDE was nominated for the 2001 Latin Grammy Award for Best Folk Album.

A Marriage of Traditional Asturian Pipe Music with Both Contemporary Rhythms and Arabic and North African Themes. The Result is a Striking and Powerful Collection of Pieces that Travel Across a Musical Landscape. The Fusion of Celtic and Arabic Traditional Music Makes this Album One of the Most Striking and Exhilarating Works to Come Out of the World Music Scene.



This record shows the Asturian bagpiper trying to enlarge his musical world in the way he did with his previous and commercially successful album, No Man's Land. And he does it good, especially in the opening track "Tanzila," an electric blend of Arabic and Celtic music. But also in "Rubiereos," which guests the Prague Symphony Orchestra. Sometimes the album gets dangerously close to new age music, like in his approach to the popular tune "Mermuradora." Fortunately Hevia manages to go also in a more personal direction. All the vocal elements do not carriage meaning as much as texture. He likes to consider himself as a craftsman -- in fact, he is -- so in the booklet he provides many details, recording procedures and the history of each piece. It's a very enjoyable and danceable album not only recommended for Celtic music lovers but for everyone who's looking for world music well played and carefully arranged.

Iván Adaime - All Music Guide



...a trans-global romp through Celtic-inflected melodies, Pan-African grooves, and the roar of his bagpipes.

Billboard



Galician bagpiper and flautist Jose Angel Hevia combines Celtic, Spanish and Australian elements in his music. His 1999 debut Tierra De Nadie was a smash hit in Europe and went triple platinum in Spain; the album received its US release that summer.
