La Vida.. Es Un Ratico (Life is Short)

CD-Charts > Music > Cuban and Latin
by: Juanes

Release Date October 22, 2007
He is so talented and I love how is songs are so wholesome and soulfull.
This is an artist that sings from his heart and sings about things he believes in. All the songs have a unique sound and are beautiful.

I loved Juanes since I heard A Dios le Pido many many years ago. I've not looked back since. I've just introduced him to my friends and they (with no/little understanding of spanish)like him too! Hopefully they will love him like I do but no pressure. :)

Bebel Gilberto

CD-Charts > Music > Cuban and Latin
by: Bebel Gilberto

Release Date June 07, 2004
Tanto Tempo was beautiful, but Bebel Gilberto is Superb.! A gorgeous CD. There isn^t one single track I don^t like. A modern day version of 1960s classic Bossa Nova. I just carn^t fault this CD at all. Lovely singing, lovely music. Songs you carn^t stop playing in your head after listening to it. And again as in Tanto Tempo, every song is individual and different.

Las Cinco En El Astoria [Us Import]

CD-Charts > Music > Cuban and Latin
by: La Oreja De Van Gogh

Release Date September 30, 2008
As many other LOVG fans I was sad to hear about Amaia Montero's departure. She was such an integral part of the band that it was hard to imagine LOVG without her. I dont know what general opinion of the new singer (Leire Martinez) is, but I have to say that I like her very much. I'm not going to compare her to Amaia as that would be unfair, but she does a great job on the album. As for the music, well, as always LODVG have delivered a fantastic album with classic songs.

La Llorona

CD-Charts > Music > Cuban and Latin
by: Lhasa

Release Date November 30, 1998
... what a beautiful voice; dark, emotional, evocative, chocolatey, husky, smooth, intimate, powerful ... it's all of these and much much more. The best I've heard in a long long time. Highly recommended for reasons that others have given. 10/10

I, Flathead (Deluxe Edition)

CD-Charts > Music > Cuban and Latin
by: Ry Cooder

Release Date June 23, 2008
I'm not what you'd call a die-hard Cooder fan, but anyone who likes his older stuff (especially back from the 70's) will love this concept album. What really makes it for me is the combination of his sense of humour combined with some of his best music in years (IMHO).

As he writes in the notes (in his alter-ego, "Kash Buk"), "You got your hard times, your good times, a dog story... and a forbidden-race-love song."

First time I played it I wondered what it was all about - background music it ain't - but stick it in the car CD player (as Kash recommends) and it comes to life.

I've only played it about half a dozen times but I'm singing the songs already.

With regard to the first review, I'm not ... Read More:

Brave

CD-Charts > Music > Cuban and Latin
by: Jennifer Lopez

Release Date October 15, 2007
I bought this album only on a whim-I have never been a serious fan and didn't even particularly like Do It Well, but it was cheap and I thought hey ho why not? I am so glad that I did-in my opinion this is an absolute masterpiece and J-Lo's vocals sound sensational on every song. There is not one track on here I dislike or skip past-they are all phenomenal in their right!
1.Stay Together-Great start to the album, and one of my favourite songs on here and indeed of all time. 10/10
2.Forever-Extremely catchy song. 8/10
3.Hold It Don't Drop It-Very r&b track, very good, but not as good as the others on here. 7/10
4.Do It Well-Grown on me, and it is damn catchy. 8/10
5.Gotta Be There-A really funky song. 9/10
6.Never Gonna ... Read More:

The Great Scottish Latin Adventure

CD-Charts > Music > Cuban and Latin
by: Salsa Celtica

Release Date June 19, 2000
The sleeve note claims this is a salsa album made by Scottish musicians who love Latin music and by South American musicians who love Scotland. It's a love affair to be encouraged. The rhythms will be familiar to all who have bought Santana's last couple of albums. The instruments include horns (sax, trumpets, trombone) guitar, fiddle, percussion, piano, accordion and, yes, bagpipes. Pipes have rarely sounded less military, or less highland. A reminder that pipes are international, not principally Scottish. They don't dominate here, but provide a texture that complements the horns. A fiddle, too, that reminds one more of Grapelli than Glasgow. This improbable mixture works. Music to dance to, and much more salsa than celtica. It isn't easy to sit ... Read More:
