Desperado: The Soundtrack

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Various Artists

Release Date August 15, 1995
Excellent vintage rock and roll with some brooding blues tracks. Some numbers are done with a slightly different tempo than on the artist's CD - with a better effect - in my view.

The Boatlift

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Pitbull

Release Date November 27, 2007
Sorry but this cd isn't even worth paying full price for in my opinion. There really are no imaginative lyrics at all, and there really aren't too many songs that even stand out. This seems to be a drop-off from his earlier cd's, and it almost seems like he just rushed to throw the album together. He also has rappers appearing on the cd that no one has heard of before, and their lyrics are worse than his. I have been a Pitbull fan for a few years, but this cd really disappoints!

Entre Dos Aguas

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Paco de Lucia

Release Date October 25, 1990
Along the flamenco there have been emblematic figures - specially along these last two decades - but all these have a common debt with Paco de Lucia, the gladiator, the herald the master musician of ravishing virtuosity and unequalled style.

It's absolutely impossible not to be engaged after listening him from the first bars.

Don't miss this album.

9 Lives

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Kat DeLuna

Release Date August 07, 2007
I had been waiting for this CD to drop ever since the first single was released. Somehow it slipped by me, but now that I have it all is right with the universe. Her vocal range is just incredible to me and I can't wait to see what her next album will be like. For those of you who passed on this one BIG MISTAKE; truly check it out you will not be disappointed.

La Pistola y El Corazon

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Los Lobos

Release Date October 25, 1990
Everyone knows Los Lobos know how to rock, but this album shows their outstanding musicianship in the totally different context of traditional Mexican music. Using only acoustic instruments, they have produced an eminently listenable, smoothly produced and accessible entry point for the everyday listener to get into this rich musical tradition. Whether you are a serious or casual listener, or just want terrific background music for a dinner party, you can't go wrong with this album.

Don't Mess With The Dragon

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Ozomatli

Release Date April 03, 2007
If you're a fan of Ozomatli and someone who'd never heard of them asked you what genre they are, chances are you wouldn't be able to give him/her an answer (what their very name means is a head-scratcher). But their latest album Don't Mess with the Dragon is filled with great stuff.

"Can't Stop" is an ideal way to open the album because you indeed won't be able to stop playing the disc after that track. From there you'll find standouts like "Here We Go", "When I Close My Eyes" and the necessary tribute-to-your-hometown, "City of Angels". And an Ozomatli album wouldn't be complete without some Latin tunes, so "La Gallina" and "Violeta" are good examples of that.

I only gave the album four stars because a few of the songs start to sound ... Read More:

Jazz Samba Encore!

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Stan Getz, Luiz Bonfa

Release Date October 25, 1990
I have been searching for this album for 5 years. 5 years ago, I was on Semester at Sea and was spending one of the many long nights at sea (between ports) exchanging music with friends. My friend from Japan gave me several of her favorite Bossa Nova cds, most of them compilations. Of course we didnt have any internet so all the albums that i ripped to my pc said " various artists, track 1 ect.." Well one compilation which is one of my favorites to this day contatined my favorite that I now know is from this album "Saudade Vem Correndo" Wow Maria Toledo's vocals are so... indescribably saudade.

If anyone knows where I can find more Maria Toledo please let me know. For others who want to hear the other songs on the mystery compilation from ... Read More:

La Sandunga

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Lila Downs

Release Date September 30, 2003
Amongst all four Lila Downs releases so far, there is little doubt in my mind that this one remains an all time favorite.

Needless to say, I have become a huge fan, and all CDs by Lila and her fabulous band fully deserve five stars, period. But this one is the most indengenious one, the one of her roots, where her true character and amibition shine through in its most pure form.

I especially adore songs like La Sandunga with its magic touch, or Naila, maybe because I am a bit a sentimental guy. Anyway - buy all of her CD's, but give this one a special listen.

Hopefully, she will never burn out and continue with her wonderful voice and the intelligence and subtelty of her almost dylanesque or even taupinian lyrics.
