30 Años

CD-Charts > Music > South and Central America
by: Mercedes Sosa

Release Date June 06, 2005
Mercedes Sosa (1935) is one of the greatest Argentinean folk singer!
She jumps to public attention when she was fifteen years old winning a singer's radio contest in Tucuman, her natal Province. From that point on she continues growing up as a notorious figure in the folk singers medium.
Due to difficult political situation at Argentina in 1979 she was forced into exile by military Junta, revisited Argentina briefly in 1982, giving a live recital and returned definitely in 1984 with the arrival of democracy.

The songs of this CD reflect Mercedes' musical life, not only Argentinean music but a wide and rich Latin American repertoire.
"La Maza" and "Unicornio" from Cuban Silvio Rodriguez's repertoire. In the first ... Read More:

The Best of Caetano Veloso

CD-Charts > Music > South and Central America
by: Caetano Veloso

Release Date September 16, 2003
The song selection on this CD had very limited variety. It was a disappointing selection, to say the least. I had expectations that his music would be much more interesting - but it lacked depth and was a poor choice on my part. Dale Brookins

The Best of Carlos Gardel

CD-Charts > Music > South and Central America
by: Carlos Gardel

Release Date May 19, 1998
The first approach to listen to Tango is to listen to Carlos Gardel.Even if you don't understand the words, the music transgresses the melancoly of the songs, the softness of the feelings. Close your eyes and dance on the traditional langourous tango rhythms

Music from the Coffee Lands

CD-Charts > Music > South and Central America
by: Various Artists

Release Date October 07, 1997
I recently started getting into the Putumayo series after I heard the Paris compilation. I was immediately hooked and now have started checking out the other cds in the series. MUSIC FROM THE COFFEE LANDS is my latest acquisition. While MUSIC FROM THE COFFEE LANDS may not be my favorite compilation, I certainly enjoyed listening to its international flavor. Most of the songs are latin based but there are a track here and there that are African and even Hawaiian. As I sit here typing my review while drinking a cup of joe and listening to this cd, I am imaging myself in a field picking coffee beans. I find the music very soothing tp the human soul. I definitely agree with one reviewer who questioned why there isn't any music from Ethiopia featured on the compilation given the origins of the ... Read More:
