MTV Unplugged

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Julieta Venegas

Release Date June 17, 2008
I absolutely loved Limon y Sal, and so I was surprisingly dissapointed with this album. I think the main reason is that it sounds like the music engineer messed up the vocal recording. The vocals aren't nearly as clear and expressive as in Limon y Sal. Also, the acoustic arrangements didn't do much for me, which is surprising because I've loved just about every other MTV Unplugged album that I've ever had. On the other hand, I did enjoy getting to hear a selection of Julieta's older songs, and I like "El Presente", so overall it is a nice album to have.
A mi me encantaba "Limon y Sal", y por eso me sorprendi que no me gustaba mucho este album. Me parece que el ingeniero de musica hizo un error al la voz de Julieta para este album. ... Read More:

The Best of Paolo Conte

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Paolo Conte

Release Date June 09, 1998
I don't understand Italian, but the music is universal. The piano is "electric", the beat is ever present, the boogie woogie is contagious, the ambiance is plain fun. I enjoy listening to this CD over and over.

La Vida... Es un Ratico

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Juanes

Release Date October 23, 2007
Desde que Juanes estaba con Equimosis he seguido su carrera musical y creo que este disco es su mejor producto. Hay madurez y contenido social en sus letras, los ritmos son contagiosos, y estoy en desacuerdo con la persona que califica como repetitivo el sonido de este trabajo discografico. Es el mejor CD de musica en el ano 2007
Ya voy por el tercer CD que compro pues los otros dos terminaron en las carteras de los amigos de lo ajeno.

El Cantante: The Originals

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Héctor Lavoe

Release Date July 03, 2007
Hector Lavoe is a must for any person interested in salsa music. As one of the reviewers says, it is a Salsa 101. The rhythm, the lyrics, his voice. Close your eyes and feel. Your body vibrates and your soul dances...

Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 - Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66

Release Date October 25, 1990
Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66's hits are pretty much included in this CD. What a wonderful beat and what memories. I highly recommend this CD to anyone wanting a good selection of his early hits. I found all the ones I loved on this CD plus a couple of others that were a joy to discover.

Across The Crystal Sea - Conducted and Arranged by Claus Ogerman

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Danilo Perez, Claus Ogerman

Release Date August 26, 2008
First of all, I'm surprised that nobody has written a review for this album yet. Boy, when you hear it you'll want to own it, let me just get that out of the way.

Danilo Perez is, for those unaware of him, a jazz pianist that has played with way too many jazz greats to list here, but he's paid his dues and has established himself as an intelligent, passionate pianist. He also has that certain Latin feel to some of his lines, which helps to get things cooking.

Here is the lineup for this record:

Danilo Perez - Piano
Christian McBride - Bass
Lewis Nash - Drum
Luis Quintero - Percussion
Cassandra Wilson - Vocal (on two tracks)

All arrangements by Claus Ogerman who's arraning talents ... Read More:

Made in Dakar

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Orchestra Baobab

Release Date May 20, 2008
Yes it is early to be making such a list so soon but I would not be surprised if this was on my top ten for the year. I already had two of their previous and thought that I did not need another. But, every time I went to my local cd store the clerks were playing this cd and it has just slowly but surely won me over. This is music that is not easy to find so order it now and enjoy it. It is part King Sunny Ade and part Cuban Allstars and is just plain well done-the Orchestra Baobab way.

Volare! - The Very Best Of The Gipsy Kings

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Gipsy Kings

Release Date September 05, 2000
Not a bad song on any of these CDs!! They all bring to mind a sultry evening in some spanish-speaking part of the world. Lilting lyrics, fast and slow conga rythms with impeccable spanish guitar work. CD#1 of the "The Very Best of..." is raucous and fast-paced, while disk #2 is more gentle and relaxing. You will have images of banana and palm trees swaying in the breezes while you relax in some spanish hacienda,cafe or cantina. Break out the premium hand-made cigars and pour up the rum or tequilla!! The Gipsy Kings are an awsome band and will bring any party to life. These CDs are "must-haves" for any serious cigar aficianado!

Wave

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Antonio Carlos Jobim

Release Date October 25, 1990
I really enjoy listening to Wave. I find the sound relaxing and the songs enjoyable. I recently started listening to the famous Getz/Gilberto album and I wanted to pickup albums from some of the other artists featured on it, hence Wave. Good album and I would recommend it to anyone who liked Getz/Gilberto.

Release Date September 06, 2005
I have this CD and a few others. Every now and then I like to check for new releases. What I would like to know is WHERE ARE THE TRACK SAMPLES???!! WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM?? I listen to songs before I decide to buy, so if you want to sell a CD, then put them back.
