The Ultimate Collection

CD-Charts > Music > Cuban and Latin
by: Vikki Carr

Release Date October 16, 2006
This is simply the greatest and the best cd compilation of Vikki Carr! Throughout the whole CD set, we hear the widest range of this artist: from jazz ("Moanin'" by Jon Hendricks) to big band ("Time After Time") to the great American songbook ("I Only Have Eyes For You" with a deliciously clear voiced vocalise at the end) to current pop ("Is She Still In Love") to Latin ("Mas Que Nada" where Carr is clearly having fun) to Broadway ("Surrey With The Fringe On The Top") to country ("The Ways To Love a Man"). In addition to the sure fire hits, the listener gets to hear songs recorded in three languages (English, Spanish and Italian). The programming of the songs is flawless and, like Carr's LP's, flows and builds to the end. The CD booklet comes ... Read More:

Yo-Yo Ma - Appassionato

CD-Charts > Music > Cuban and Latin
by: Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Octavio Brunetti, Joel Fan, Kojiro Umezaki

Release Date January 29, 2007
Yo-Yo Ma performs Appassionato with superb technique, and the music on this album is sublime, mystical, sensual, optimistic, gentle and powerful at the same time. A real treat for those who seek an emotional challenge and a profound artistic experience. The more I listen to this CD the more I am astonished by the great selection of the music. It's always such a strong moment when the Cello meets the Oboe in "Gabriel's Oboe" (The Mission) and how they reach for each other and rise together into the most mesmerizing interaction - one is transported to a world of beautiful feelings by this music and how it is played here.

La Cantina: Entre Copa Y Copa

CD-Charts > Music > Cuban and Latin
by: Lila Downs

Release Date March 27, 2006
It is not often one falls in love with a new voice. Lila is a very serious musician who could sing any single thing in any single style she chose. She has surrounded herself with equally talented musicians of all races and creeds to produce some extremely original renditions of mexican songs, mixing jazz, hip hop, traditional mexican sounds....I was starstruck when I came out of her concert...I didn't know her and had not a clue what to expect but I was so impressed with her performance, the wonderful voice, the meaningful lyrics, her passion for her native Mexico whilst aware of the political and sociological problems, her movements and her sense of humour....brilliant album, brilliant vocalist and anyone who likes latin music will love it. Lila, could ... Read More:

Cante Gitano - Gypsy Flamenco from Andalucia

CD-Charts > Music > Cuban and Latin
by: Paco Del Gastor

Release Date August 23, 2003
This album forms one of a pair on the Nimbus label (the other being Cante Flamenco). Among Nimbus's laudable qualities at this time were first-class recordings, first-class (though not necessarily famous) artists, and careful attention to acoustics.

Especially notable, however, was an almost obsessive preoccupation with performances that were whole and 'live' -- not sewn together, Frankenstein fashion, from the usable parts of corpses. In accordance with this objective, the present album presents Gypsy artists, not in the recording studio, but in a small private club in Morón de la Frontera -- with no chance of retakes! Here Nimbus were really taking to the air without a parachute, because the difficulties of producing a first-class performance ... Read More:

Trojan Mod Reggae Box Set Vol.1

CD-Charts > Music > Cuban and Latin
by: Various Artists

Release Date March 25, 2002
Reggae collectors have complained at the dominance of the Trojan label in the mainstream record stores, but when the music in the grooves is of this calibre, it seems churlish to criticise, especially when offered at such a reasonable price.

These sixties tracks first appeared on labels such as Island, Blue Beat, Rio, Doctor Bird, Treasure Isle and Black Swan, and are gathered here because of their popularity in this country, both at the time and in subsequent revivals. Introduced by West Indians who had settled in areas like Brixton and Notting Hill, Ska and Rock Steady were quickly adopted by the Mods and played in their clubs as the music evolved into Reggae. Jamaica had an abundance of excellent jazz and dance hall musicians from the forties and ... Read More:

Abba Oro

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

Release Date December 23, 1999
Although it compiles both ABBA Oro and ABBA Mas Oro, meaning GOLD and More GOLD in Spanish, this product really shouldn't interest anybody except the Spanish speaking pop buyers and hardcore ABBA fans. It includes (I think) all of their spanish recordings, some of them sound beautiful in Spanish (ABBA would sound great even in Hungarian), some of them are ruined by clumsy lyrics. My favorites would be tracks like Hasta Manana and El Andar and other tracks that already have a Spanish vibe to them. ABBA Oro is a product for limited masses.
