La Ley - MTV Unplugged

CD-Charts > Music > Chile
by: La Ley

Release Date September 04, 2001
I love the version of El Duelo, actually, I love listening to her on it. I was happy that the song title was "con Ely Guerra" - yea, that must be the one. So I pay my buck and start listening. Hey! where's the Mexican chick? Damn it Jim! The download must be a different version, all I can figure. I wanted to hear Ely! Aye.

3 stars, not to slam them for my disappointment (amazon mixup? or did they edit her out or what? L if I know.)

Antologia Musical

CD-Charts > Music > Chile
by: Victor Jara

Release Date October 14, 2003
Victor Jara, the legendary Chilean protest singer, eloquently sang out against imperialism and capitalism, and died because of his brave music. Listen to this CD and remember all the thousands who've disappeared during the fascist Pinochet dictatorship and all the other victims of military repression throughout Latin America. Listen and sing along. Sing out for peace, for justice, for human rights. Sing out for a better world.

Las Ultimas Composiciones

CD-Charts > Music > Chile
by: Violeta Parra

Release Date September 29, 2003
You might consider this disk as Violeta Parra Unplugged, not that she ever went electric, but the instrumental arrangements here are very basic, at times just her and her charanguito. As indicated in the title, these are final compositions, sometimes recorded here in an incomplete state, like those many posthumous Jimi albums which appeared and continue to appear.

Certainly we have the well-known Gracias a la Vida, which was most memorably recorded by Mercedes Sosa and available as Gracias a la Vida and elsewhere. This powerful and moving anthem here receives a simple arrangement with a trotting charango acccompanying.

Other well known and strong street songs appear here, including "Me ha llegado una carta. Arrestaron ... Read More:

Nadha

CD-Charts > Music > Chile
by: Kudai

Release Date August 05, 2008
This album tops all others from these guys. Formerly known as CIAO in chile, a children's group, they changed their name to Kudai in 2001, kudai comes from the mapundung word meaning young workers, or kudaw. Nada es igual, Cicatrices, Lejos de aqui, disfraz, and morir de amor are ones to check out. The title Nadha is sanscrit for 'all of ones being' or straight from the heart, sound from deep within the soul. Meaning these songs are sincerely from their heart and made with everything they've got. It is a album you will not regret buying!

Historias e Histeria

CD-Charts > Music > Chile
by: La Ley

Release Date November 30, 2004
La Ley is and will forever be known as one of the greatest bands that ever existed. Their sound is ultimately unique to any other band in the "rock en espanol" movement. Their catchy lyrics and sounds have made them extremely popular. It is a shame, however, that after fifteen years this great band is saying goodbye to the rock scene. In my opinion, it is a good idea to leave on a high note. Historias e Histeria captures some of the greatest songs of this amazing band. Songs like El Duelo, Doble Opuesto, Amate y Salvate, Aqui, Histeria and Mirate could be found in this CD. In my opinion, it is a job well done and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys great music.

Fiesta Songs

CD-Charts > Music > Chile
by: Señor Coconut and His Orchestra

Release Date July 29, 2003

I was in a clothing store a couple of years ago, and on the sound system was a wicked salsa version of Deep Purple's "Smoke on the water".

Having cut my teeth on Deep Purple, but long since expanded my musical tastes in almost endless directions, as soon as I got home, I googled around a little and found out the geniuses behind this gem were Senor Coconut.

I suppose, once one gets over the cognitive dissonance of a salsa version of "Smoke on the water" to begin with, one shouldn't be too surprised to learn that these guys are from Germany of all places.

There are more killer covers here than just "Smoke".

If you're into salsa, cha-cha-cha, bolero, etc., and also enjoy pop, rock, etc. (and ... Read More:

Sobrevive

CD-Charts > Music > Chile
by: Kudai

Release Date July 04, 2006
I've always liked Kudai. Their first CD was more soft sounds, while their new CD reminds me somewhat of Evanescence. The songs are good, and the girls are pretty. What more could you need out of a group? I would definatly recomend this CD.
