Acid

by: Ray Barretto

Release Date March 14, 2006
Hard hands Ray will beat them drums down brother. This album belongs up there with the Boo-ga-loo classics like Joe Batann, Johnnie Colon and many others. I'm still diggin on this jam....

Regreso el Jefe

CD-Charts > Music > Tropical
by: Elvis Crespo

Release Date June 05, 2007
I got really hooked on Latin Pop artists like Olga Tanon, La India and Marc Anthony. Desperate to discover some more artists in this genre, I gave this CD by Elvis Crespo a try and I'm really glad I did because it is great. Like Olga Tanon, Crespo is known as a merengue artist, but while Tanon has expanded her range to include pop, Crespo sticks mainly to merengue, although other Amazon reviewers have pointed out that it's really more of a merengue/dance hybrid. I should add here that La India and Marc Anthony are famous for salsa, which is slightly slower and has a different rhythm from merengue. Anyhoo, back to Crespo, some people find his weird throaty/nasal voice annoying, but I find that it has real charm and works really well for the songs ... Read More:

The Rough Guide to Cumbia

CD-Charts > Music > Tropical
by: Various Artists

Release Date August 01, 2000
This is truly an excellent cumbia collection. Every song is beautifully arranged and evokes a kind of nostalgia for this "music of the coast." If you are someone who values variety in a CD compilation, however, you might want to give the samples on this amazon website a good listen before you purchase the CD. While the cumbia songs are wonderfully pure and truly representative of this fantastic music, they do sound very similar (which isn't a surprise, of course, because this is a CD of cumbia!). If you like what you hear, then you should certainly get this disc. The music is rhythmically infectious, romantic and will definitely survive many rotations in your CD player. If you enjoy this kind of music, I also have to recommend the "Colombia" CD by Putumayo ... Read More:

Street Hassle

CD-Charts > Music > Tropical
by: Lou Reed

Release Date January 04, 2005
If you've never listened to Lou Reed before, this mightn't be where you want to start. The uninitiated would do better to pick up "Transformer," "Rock And Roll Animal," or "New York." However, if you are already a bona-fide Lou Reed fan looking to get a new, totally fresh perspective on the man, you are ready for "Street Hassle." I'd also apply the same caveat to "Take No Prisoners," his live album from this era: not for first-time listeners, but if you're ready for the real HEART of Lou Reed, it's all here.
"Gimme Some Good Times" starts proceedings in fine fashion, with Lou's quavering, overdubbed vocals casting a gritty pallor over a ultimately catchy tune. "Dirt," is my opinion, was better served in it's earlier form as "Downtown Dirt" from ... Read More:

Embrace the Chaos

CD-Charts > Music > Tropical
by: Ozomatli

Release Date September 11, 2001
Langly, uno de los Pistoleros Solitarios de "Expediente X", lucía en la serie una camiseta con el logo de Ozomatli. ¿Casualidad, guiño, publicidad? Más bien una muestra del impacto que el grupo causó con su debut homónimo, con su mezcla de rock, ska, funk, hip hop y ritmos latinos.
Los europeos estamos acostumbrados a ese cajón de sastre llamado rock mestizo, y hemos sufrido en silencio la aparición de grupetes que esconden su mediocridad tras la etiqueta de "globalidad enrollada". Pero para los yanquis, Ozomatli fue toda una sorpresa.
Después de tres años de gira, el septeto multiracial de Los Angeles regresa con las ideas más claras: si en su primer trabajo fusionaban estilos en un mismo tema, en "Embrace The Chaos" tienden a diferenciarlos ... Read More:
