Definitive Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Cuban and Latin
by: Herb Alpert

Release Date June 11, 2001
I love Herb Alpert. The best known stuff on this album are the likes of the superlatively bouncy Spanish Flea, the sublime A Taste of Honey, the energetic Tijuana Taxi, Tetris theme Zorba the Greek and of course the theme to the original Casino Royale (the one with David Niven) which is so clever it hurts. But there's nothing on this album that doesn't delight.

Mostly it's instrumental, brass band work and very good brass it is. Like a Mariachi band. It's jolly and fun, and it gets me in a good mood and that makes it pretty fab stuff.

Enrique

CD-Charts > Music > Cuban and Latin
by: Enrique Iglesias

Release Date November 22, 1999
This is a fine selection of melodic uplifting music. Such good song writing and production and compelling listening. So get it is my recommendation. And get all his other English albums - I have! And I have found them to be equally as good.
Cheers.

90 Millas

CD-Charts > Music > Cuban and Latin

For my taste, this is a fabulous record, in the lines of Alma Caribena.
Excellent recording fidelity, expert arrangements, beautifull vocals and overall proficient choice of material. Very enjoyable. Get it.

Greatest Hits Vol.1

CD-Charts > Music > Cuban and Latin
by: Gloria Estefan

Release Date July 26, 2004
What a great album. All classic hits. Just thought I would comment on the album as the first review below seems rather inappropriate. When you consider that a greatest hits album is released after all the singles in it have been released then the songs contained in the album must have been heared by everyone. Why then should someone buy the album if they don't like the songs and then write such a poor review. I think everyone should buy the album and sit back and enjoy the great music.

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 over 60 but ... Read More:

Rodrigo Y Gabriela

CD-Charts > Music > Cuban and Latin
by: Rodrigo Y Gabriela

Release Date May 07, 2007
This is the most thrilling, exciting sound I have heard in ages. What amazing talent and energy! I cannot stop playing it night or day, it is so uplifting.
Even when I am not playing it, the rhythms and melodies keep coming into my head and I find myself nodding,tapping my feet or drumming with my fingers in tempo. The sound quality in general is absolutely superb, however, can anyone explain the small blip of interference between track 2 and 3 ? It only lasts a few seconds but I think this couple deserve perfection in the recording of their performance. I was also a little disappointed in the quality of the DVD production.
In spite of these criticisms I heartily recommend this album and still give it five stars!
