Dan Zanes & Friends - All Around the Kitchen! Crazy Videos & Concert Songs!

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
starring: Dan Zanes & Friends

Release Date August 30, 2005
The Dan Zanes and Friends' dvd "All Around the Kitchen" is awesome. My 2-year old daughter requests it every morning (and in the afternoons, and in the evenings). She walks up to me or my wife and says "More Dan Zanes, please!" It's a wonderful dvd that's great for the whole family, and not just for the kids. We usually watch it a couple times a day. I hope that Dan Zanes releases another dvd soon!

Laundry Service

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Shakira

Release Date November 13, 2001
I know, I'm behind the times. I have listened to Shakira since she broke into the American music scene but only just now got around to buying this album.

I've heard and read about tons of people who complain she's too commercial on this album. Fine, it's pop. Meaning popular.

Still, even if you're distracted by that there's no doubt that her voice is haunting. Just freaking awesome. She stands out.

I plan on getting most her other albums over time. This one is a lot fun to listen too.

Insomniac

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Enrique Iglesias

Release Date June 12, 2007
I think this is one of his better albums to date. Songs like : 1. Ring My Bell, 3. Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song), 4. Somebody's Me, 5. On Top Of You, 6. Tired Of Being Sorry, 8. Wish I Was Your Lover, and 10. Stay Here Tonight, are all great songs, it has a good blend of a great beat, good lyrics and the soulful voice of Enrique that puts these songs among his greatest yet and it rivals his past albums. I would definitely recommend this album to anyone who is a fan of Enrique and a fan of good music in general.

I workout to El Cantante - The Original. It's like nonstop Great music to exercise to. Hector Laveo is still the best. I saw Marc Anthony's movie, El Cantante but, I brought Hectors Original CD. It's my favorite CD. I blast the CD in my Escalade, and everybody looking at me and singing along with me. I'm a black guy from the Bronx, living in Manhattan.

Mambo Sinuendo

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Ry Cooder, Manuel Galban, Manuel Galban

Release Date January 28, 2003
Lots of lush reverb and ringing chords, surfed-out tones and tropical vibes, lazy tribal riddims and colorful melodic pastiches.
Perfect for zoning out in a hammock on the beach, watching the sun set and the moon rise.
Drift away...

Jazz Samba

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
by: Stan Getz, Charlie Byrd

Release Date May 20, 1997
Want to know what the world was like in 1963, in San Francisco, on sunny afternoons, when all the windows were open on a garden from a small apartment high on the Ashbury Street Hill where Anne and Stan Rice lived and wrote? --- Before the Flower Children came. ---- Then listen to this classic album, the album that defined "jazz" for me more than bossa nova. It was an album that made me want to flee the foggy streets of San Francisco, put on khaki clothes and drift south. It took me well over twenty years to get to Brazil, and the tunes were no longer in my head. Don't know who Stan and Anne are? No surprise. --- They were young writers, dreamers and students. ---- Just wanted to make this review a little reflective of what those moments were like, ... Read More:

Release Date June 17, 2008
This is the CD for the Summer of '08. These girls sound great. Too bad it's been a year since their hit "Rockstar" from the Bratz soundtrack. I was glad to see that it was included in this cd. "Nadie" is a great remake of Alicia Keys "No One". All the songs are awesome. Congrats Prima J! Looks like you are gonna have an amazing career. I can't wait till you go on tour. You should have Kanye and Fergie open for you. Well, off to You Tube to catch your Wango Tango performance.

...Hey! Put the taco down and DANCE!!!

Aire Latino: Latin American Music for Guitar

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Music
from: Telarc

Release Date January 27, 2004
I have almost all of David Russel's CDs, and many other CDs of Latin American guitar music. This is my favorite in both categories for about 2 years, now! His rendition of Cardoso's Vals Peruano is amazing. It'll make you sit up and say, "What???? How did he do THAT???". In his hands, Reis' nice little "waltz-y" Se Ela Perguntar becomes a plaintive elegy that'll rip your heart right out of your chest. I played it in this style at my father's funeral and there wasn't a dry eye in the place. This is an amazing CD from, (I think), the best classical guitarist touring today.
