Love this kind of music - can't get enough - have most all of the CDs. Excellent New Jersey-based company with excellent foresight and retro-understanding for the best party and jazz combos. Excellent choice for any kind of day or evening, party or relaxation time.

Contraste

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Gilberto Santa Rosa

Release Date November 20, 2007
Once again, Gilberto Santa Rosa has proven what a great singer he is. The Salsa music and the ballads are fantastic. I very much enjoyed the lyrics and the musical arrangements. It is the type of music that you will never get tired of listening to. I can't wait to see Gilberto perform these songs live. I am sure he will win another latin grammy!

Una Noche en Madrid: En Vivo

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Marco Antonio Solís

Release Date June 10, 2008
This CD/DVD combo is for those of us who can't get enough of Marco. I thought his voice was uncharacteristically thin in the first number but gained substance through the concert, and his first encore was the climax. His tribute to Rocio Durcal was great. There's nothing here we haven't heard before, but if you can't get to one of his concerts, this is the next best thing.

Re-Foc

by: Rodrigo y Gabriela

Release Date April 06, 2004
I find this music so refreshing because it's unlike anything else I've ever heard. I can't get it out of my head it's so addictive. If you like rock, Spanish guitar, or just good music, you'll appreciate the talent this duo brings to the table. Their other album is excellent as well.

Proxima Estacion: Esperanza

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Manu Chao

Release Date July 01, 2008
This album was my first experience with Manu Chao. The style is simultaneously simple and complex. From a musical standpoint, the instrumentation is primarily acoustic with simple rhythms, but lyrically and conceptually, nothing is simplistic about this masterpiece. Various audio and linguistic themes weave their way through the work, giving the listener the experience of time suspension much like that of an insomniac in a sedated state of relaxed almost-sleep where thoughts almost form, transform into other thoughts, and then evaporate only to be replaced by new thoughts.

Manu Chao employs a unique mixture of languages which form a drifting and ever changing cultural context. I've never heard anything like it.

Tortilla Soup

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Various Artists

Release Date August 14, 2001
This is a pretty darned good sampling of Latin music. My wife saw the movie and immediately picked up the CD (I guess that says something good about the movie.) We've listened to it several times over and enjoyed it quite a bit. My one complaint is that it is uneven. Some of the songs on the CD aren't as good as others and it makes it hard to listen to the CD straight through. We were introduced to several great artists through this CD, and if you are looking for some fun Latin stuff, then I highly recommend picking up some albums from the artists represented on the CD, especially: Los Amigos Invisibles, Lila Downs, and Bebel Gilberto. And while you are at it, you should pick up Susana Baca's CD too.

Shakira: Live & Off The Record

CD-Charts > Music > General
starring: Shakira

Release Date March 30, 2004
One of the best imports of Columbia, most of the music here comes from her first English language hit, Dirty Laundry. Great video of puppets looking somwhat like Saddam Hussin and George W. Bush. There's also a great extra of Shakira somewhat interviewing herself and footage of her succesful tour. A cd accompanies the dvd but doesn't have all the songs the dvd has. Still, a lot of fun especially if you're a fan.
