2013 (tribute) album aan de vorig jaar overleden oprichter/bandleider/songschrijver Jairo Varela (1949-2012) en is een van hun beste in tijden.
This is what Niche should be about. Fantastic arrangements throughout. Polyphony of all brass (3 trombones and three - sometimes two - trumpets) is outstanding.

The album must have been made shortly after Jairo`s death, because it`s pretty obvious it`s partially a tribute to this genius who had helped found Niche and who was its composer and lyricist for three decades: at some point in each song, the singer says "solo hay un Grupo Niche, de Jairo Varela." The album is also Niche`s asserting the fact that they are going to continue on as a great group with their own style, equally awesome as before. And they certainly prove it here. The album is a diverse collection of songs: about half are upbeat, the other half are more serious in nature. There is la repuesta de Ana Mile in the song called "El Hijo". There is a tragic sad song about the woman who is to be married but in tears (La Novia). There is an optimistic and life-affirming song about a person whose world has not "crumbled" because of someone leaving them (Un Dia Despues) - they have done their bit of mourning and have gotten over it. An excellent album lyrically, poetically, and musically only pure Salsa, including a bit of Cuban Timba in the song `Aprieta`
