PRESS COMMENTS. "Acompañada de un puñado de músicos residentes en Nueva York (familiarizados todos ellos con la escena de vanguardia de la ciudad) y bajo la dirección musical del guitarrista colombiano Sebastián Cruz, Lucía presenta un disco al que no le sobra una sola nota. Desde la apertura con el bullerengue "A pilar arroz" de la cantadora Estefanía Caicedo hasta la desgarrada versión de "Malagueña," Por esos caminos es uno de esos discos que pueden repetirse una y otra vez sin que el oído se canse." Luis Daniel Vega, Revista Arcadia.
"Just when it could have been posited that she could not raise the bar on the immense beauty and brilliance of an album after her album, Luna Menguante, she returns with another album, Por esos caminos/Journeying, which is more than its equal in repertoire, delivery and therefore memorability. How she does this should no longer be a mystery, for Pulido immerses herself into narrative and lyrics like no other musician recording and performing today." Raul da Gama, The World Music Report.
"Ms. Pulido sang new and old Colombian songs with a band that mixed the rustic clattering rhythms played with sticks on the sides of drums with complex touches of jazz harmony and odd meters. Often they used both at once in smart proportions. But her voice stayed raw and tearful, true to the sentiments of love songs announcing a wounded heart." Jon Pareles,
New York Times
