El Cantante
Marc Anthony
Sony International, 2007
Excellent!
In an environment of free speech it is expected that someone would say something negative about this album. I must disagree strongly, Marc Anthony shows and shares the wonderful gift that has been given to him.
As they say "imitaion is the sincerest form of ...

Mar Dulce
Bajofondo
Decca, 2008
Fun Music
Saw this group in SF at Stern Grove. Went to the event to see Si Se (who was wonderful), thought they would be the headliners. Was surprised that this group was the headliners. They had so much energy and fun on stage. Bought the CD as soon as I left the concert, ...

Encanto
Sergio Mendes
Concord Records, 2008
Incredible Album
I haven't listened to S.M. since the 60's. This is a fantastic collection and I can't stop listening to it; even my teenagers are hooked. The Look of Love includes one of the lowest, deepest bass lines I have ever heard (in a real song)...it rattles your gut. Highly ...

Palabras del Silencio
Luis Fonsi
Universal Latino, 2008
#6....but #1
"Palabras del Silencio" is the sixth spanish release for Luis Fonsi, but it is probably number one lyric and music wise.
1. "Quien le va decir" [Who's gonna tell her]- Kicks off the album with a very similar sound to Paso a Paso's guitars. It's an obscure sound, ...

Complices
Luis Miguel
Warner Music Latina, 2008
escuchar
Al principio noté la voz. La voz que ya no era tan buena. Con menos poder, diria. Asi que me dije, esto es lo que ya ha hecho 500 veces, solo que no tan bueno, un pequeño nivel para abajo. Pero despues de escucharlo 3 veces, o era que lo estaba escuchando en Europa? ...

MTV Unplugged
Julieta Venegas
Sony International, 2008
A wonderful talent *****
I discovered Julieta Venegas while vacationing in Chile. Her song "Lento" came on the T.V. I was immediately drawn to the tune. I searched out the CD and was hooked. She is a great songwriter, arranger, singer and I have yet to hear a song of hers I don't enjoy. I am ...

Shake Away
Lila Downs
Manhattan Records, 2008
The Best Yet!
I have been a fan of Lila Downs for several years, and I have seen her perform live 7 or 8 times. I first heard hear sing the song "Naila" on a compilation disc of music from Mexico, and I fell in love! I was studying Spanish at the time, and the music really helped me ...

Clandestino
Manu Chao
EMI Latin, 2003
Alienation, dispair, and hope...
There are so many reviews on this recording, but many miss some important points. Yes, this music can be appreciated on purely musical merits.. it's really very good and it grows on you. But it's brilliance lies in his ability to use his own 'foreign-ness' (he's ...

Songs in Spanish for Children
Various Artists
Sony Special Product, 1995
Just what I was looking for...
An important note: This CD was originally released in 1962. I think that is an asset. It has 14 songs; some new, some traditional and all but one (Diez Niñitos/10 Little Indians)originally written in Spanish. Because it was recorded in the early 60's the music and ...

Awake
Miguel Zenón
Marsalis Music, 2008
Latin flavours
It was on Amazon's very helpful suggestion that I decided to give this dude a try. They probably figured I'd like his Latin-influenced sound on account of the fact that I'm known to be a huge fan of David Sánchez. The funny thing is, even though Miguel Zenón actually ...

Mediocre
Ximena Sariñana
Wea International, 2008
She sounded great on NPR this Saturday morning.
I only caught a few minutes of her segment on NPR radio, but in the couple minutes I heard I knew Ximena had a special voice. When someone can knock you over singing just one verse a capella you know its great.
I'm looking forward to the CD.
