Rise

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Samantha James

Release Date September 25, 2007
Samantha James has an incredible vocal style. The CD has a downtempo vibe. The vocals are clear, sinewy, and soft. I don't have a bad thing to say about any of the tracks because I love each song. This CD sets a great mood and is awesome for long drives or when you go for a walk - there's enough momentum that it won't put you to sleep.

Tracks that really stand out are Rise and Deep Surprise.

If you like good dance music that is not high energy but atmospheric and ethereal with accents of downtempo, try this CD. I don't think you could be disappointed.

This album is one of the gems in the Putumayo collection. It is vibrant and energetic, and gives a delightful overview of Cuban music. My favourite track is Mecanica de Amor - Mi Son. Brilliant. Buy this one!!

Bebel Gilberto

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Bebel Gilberto

Release Date June 08, 2004
Drift back to the 70's beaches of South America (a la' Girl from Imponema). An extremely refreshing change from US Top 40, & Rock radio. Romantic, sensual, & alluring are the only ways to describe this gem. Soft yet powerful melodies ooze from this soothing, uplifting sensual female crooner with a renowned Brazilian signature.

Contraste

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
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!

Mi Sangre

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Juanes

Release Date September 28, 2004
I have bought this CD along with 'undia normal' after listening Juanes on PBS's Austin City Limits. I love two songs from this album especially: la camisa negra and damelo. There are few other great tracks as well, but overal I enjoyed more the'undia normal' CD. You can buy the tracks you like separately, but I wanted to have the CDs in my collection. This album, as a whole could be better, but I don't regret getting it as these CDs make a great beach or party companion.

Just add my five-star rating to the bunch and stamp a big "ditto" on this because everything everyone's saying about this album is true. Soft, seductive, soothing. That's this album.

Gil Luminoso

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Gilberto Gil

Release Date March 13, 2007
Agreed with David McKinney's review fully. Caetano's quote in the liner notes says it all: "Gil believes in God. I believe in him."

This man Gil in my estimation stands with Mother Teresa, Vaclav Havel, Martin Luther King....it's no wonder that Brazilians burst into tears when he appears....his songs have the same effect on me and I can hardly speak a lick of Portuguese!
