체칠리아 바르톨리가 데카 산하에서 자신의 멘토레이블을 론칭하며 그 첫번째 아티스트로 멕시코 출신의 테너 하비에르 카마레나를 선택했다. 카마레나는 2014년 메트로폴리탄 <체네렌톨라> 공연에서 아리아 "그래, 그녀를 찾고야 말거야"를 통해 메트 역사상 3번째 앙코르를 부른 가수로 기록된 화제의 아티스트로, 바로 그 아리아를 이 음반에도 수록하고 있다.
스페인의 전설적 성악가 마누엘 가르시아에 대한 헌정의 의미도 담아, 그의 작품인 "나는 밀수업자"를 음반 제목에도 인용하고 있으며, "집시 얼굴" 등 최초 녹음도 3곡이 포함되어 있다.
멘토 바르톨리와의 듀엣도 만날 수 있으며, 지안루카 카푸아노가 이끄는 뮈지시엥 뒤 프랭스와 함께하고 있다.

Things bode well when you shout ‘Bravo!’ at the hi-fi speakers at the end of the first track…The amiable Mexican throws himself into this repertoire with abandon, greedily lapping up the florid coloratura excesses with ease. He has a wonderfully flexible voice without any hint of nasality or the slightly metallic top of someone like Juan Diego Florez, the only other tenor who could currently tackle this sort of stuff with such easy elegance.

Ramiro’s aria from Cenerentola demonstrates Camarena’s extraordinary facility and easily accessed top register. The Count’s ‘Cessa di piu resistere’ reiterates his absolute command.
Presto Classical October 2018
On paper, a programme of bravura showstoppers by Rossini and the Spanish tenor Manuel Garcia might look like a slightly relentless prospect, but there’s a charm and sweetness to Mexican tenor’s singing that’s hard to resist. The Garcia curiosities come across well, but the highlight is Ramiro’s aria from La cenerentola, despatched with a tangible excitement that makes it abundantly clear why Camarena was granted a rare encore after singing it at the Metropolitan Opera in 2014.
Sunday Times 7th October 2018
Camarena’s tenorino di forza just about manages Almaviva’s florid Cessa di piu, from Rossini’s The Barber of Seville, but the five Garcia items and a Zingarelli rarity are choice works, excitingly delivered.
Opera Now January 2019
Camarena has a rich-bodied tenor, clarion at full throttle. His acuti are exciting, his phrasing exemplary; his coloratura is remarkable for its blend of robust tone and agility.
