Good Album.......2007-07-13

I like this album, but if you're not a big fan jus buy the sigles you like

Nice work........2007-06-26

Love the constant accordian, and the addition of rappers Daniel Spinetta and Anita Tijoux on a couple of tracks makes this more interesting. The final track, "Sin Documentos", is heartbreaking.

Ms. Venegas uses a variety of styles, from cumbia to Euro disco. From track to track, you get something different.

A little bit of everything!.......2007-05-13

If you like a CD with a wide range of sound, this is for you! Julieta Venegas has a rich, raspy voice that compliments any musical style. Some songs have a hip-hop feel to them, while others could almost be described as country music. Of course there's a definite Latino vibe throughout... This CD is one you can just put in the player and let it go, without having to hit the skip button.

Julieta Venegas Rules!.......2007-04-26

Julieta Venegas is an awesome artiste with a wonderful voice.She has talent and charisma and the album Limon y Sal proves she has what it takes to be a leader in latin music,because it is unique in it's musical style.All of her songs are hits that you will enjoy over and over again.I love her voice,her songs and the music in all of her albums.

another sexy spanish album.......2007-03-30

these Latinos are inborn melodious. J.Venegas is no different. Me voy, Limon y Sal, Eres para mi are catchy songs. I can not step outside of my home without taking her songs with me.

It's a bit jarring to see Mexican alt-rockera Julieta Venegas posed demurely in a wedding dress, against a pink background, on the cover of Si. Inside, the 10-track disc reflects the sugary switch, offering sweet pop arrangements and wide-eyed musings on love. Venegas' last two albums, Aqui and Bueninvento, were moodier, more introspective affairs. Savvy marketing move? Maybe, but it's given Venegas the most successful, most accessible album of her career thus far. Si is an irresistible valentine of an album, anchored by Venegas' heartfelt vocal delivery and quirky musical choices, from pop and disco to reggae and hip-hop. Songs like "Lento, Andar Conmigo and Algo Esta Cambiando" sparkle especially brightly. Venegas may still be searching for a defining sound, but listening to her take the journey on Si is sure to put a smile on a listener's face. --Joey Guerra

Customer Reviews:

Julieta's crossover to pop is a success.......2007-03-16

Mexican singer-songwriter Julieta Venegas somewhat of a breakthrough album, as she left behind her previous punk/rock sound to a more pop style. The change apppears upfront in the album's kitschy cover, showing Julieta as a traditional bride dressed in white against a pink background. Predictably, some people have accused Julieta of selling out, but there are many great songs here: Lento (great video as well), the mexican folk-inspired Andar conmigo, Algo esta Cambiando, Oleada and others. This was her first work produced by Coti Sorokin and Cachorro Lopez, and the results are better (at least in my opinion) than the previous productions by Gustavo Santaolalla. She would make another album with Sorokin and Lopez, Limon y Sal, which I think is even better than Si, but this album is very much worthwhile listening to.

Si, Si, and Si..........2006-10-29

Continue to squeeze that música "box" lil' chica Julieta and make the world smile...because you are truly a gift to those whom have the heart, soul and ears to hear it...bIG fAN!

--"Big Dave" Burleigh, an 'AmeriCanadian' Record Producre/ Artist/ Singer-Songwritre.

Si te gusta SI, te encantara Limon y sal/If you like SI, you'll love Limon y Sal.......2006-09-17

Or maybe vice versa. I'd give them both 5 stars y mas. Both CDs are bright, vibrant, and full of Julieta in LOVE with LIFE. Se nota de repente. I just discovered her through "Limon y sal" when it was released earlier this year, and slowly became captivated. One of millions...I know. I'm a latecomer, but a very content one. She has that mysterious inner "algo" that just connects naturally with that same mystic "algo" inside each of us, her "captivados". It's not exactly "duende", but it's damn close. It's captivating nonetheless. Talent, "duende" y belleza. It's a delicious triple threat.

I've enjoyed discovering her catalog going backwards in time. I fell in love both thru her music and video work (thank God for youtube & KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectico). I think, like a fellow reviewer, it happened at the exact moment while watching the video of "Lento". She's probably garnered thousands of suitors "pediendole la mano" on the strength of that song, and of course, "Andar conmigo" alone. I also enjoy her first two alternative flavored works even if she sounds the role of the disgruntled lover a lot. Knowing her, at the time, she was probably just channeling that phase of life. It's all fine stuff.

I cut my teeth on the music of Lennon & McCartney, George Harrison, Neil Young, Prince, and great female artists from Sam Phillips back to Joni Mitchell. Add to that Spanish stuff like Mecano, Pata Negra, Kiko Veneno, Camaron de la Isla, and more recently, Estrella Morente...to name a few. Julieta joins fine company.

As they say in Spain, "la tia es cojonudo...y su musica tambien...". I was lucky enough to spend four years teaching there back in the late "la movida" era of early Almodovar, 1985-1989, en el foro, Madrid. In fact, I think she's touring there now. I hope she meets Kiko Veneno and Estrella Morente, two artists who she's mentioned she admires, and gets a chance to collaborate. Que camino mas bueno seria con esa mezcla de artistas....

By the way, if you have a 5.1 setup, buy the dual disc of "Limon y sal". Tastefully done (I just wrote my first review of her for that disc) and the 5.1 sweet spot won't ever get much sweeter. You also get the DVD versions of her video work, "Me Voy" and an MTV "making of" video that's enjoyable and gives a good glimpse of her and her Buenos Aires (no digo boludeces...) work in the studio...Pa' saborear, todo.

Finally, I hope she makes her way back to CA, Sur y Norte, so I get a chance to see her in concert. She deserves to make it here in "Gringolandia" too.

Julieta Venegas - 'Si'!.......2006-07-14

Taste is personal & musical opinions vary...quite subjective of course. While there's much I don't prefer, there is no bad music per se, only preference; as such some embrace Julieta Venegas musical journey while others do not (que sera sera).

I love the music of Julieta Venegas 'Si'; her new release 'Limon Y Sal' I like even more. 'Bueninvento' & 'Aqui' did not catch my fancy but again that's subjective...only the foppish denigrate an artist/their evolution via ascribed ulterior motives - perhaps more likely a case of an egotistic critic needing more fiber in their diet.

'Si' contains 10 songs that caress the ear, soothe the soul & uplift the spirit:

1. Lento
2. Andar Conmigo
3. Algo Está Cambiando
4. Tu Lado
5. Que Pidas
6. Mala Memoria
7. Nada Serio
8. Donde Quiero Estar
9. Alguien
10. Oleada

'Lento' is my favorite but the entire CD is truly great. The only downer is the listener is left wanting for more. Not a problem: her latest CD 'Limon Y Sal' is now also available.

Enjoy.

Love this CD!!.......2006-03-08

My 2 year old daughter and I were first introduced to Julieta Venegas' CD "Si' from watching videos on PepsiMusica on the weekends. My daughter loved the video for "Lento" and I got hooked on the song. After seeing the video for "Andar Conmigo", I decided to go ahead and purchase the CD. I love the CD!! My favorite track is "Algo Esta Cambiando". I haven't had the opportunity to check out Julieta's previous work, but I love 'Si'!!

Accordion's ROCK!!!!.......2005-04-05

Venegas' sophomore album is her best work. This album has deep lyrics, complex instrument work and does not sound weird.

Julieta's best album.......2005-02-08

I have had this album for a while, and just recently pulled it out again. Julieta is now a big name in the Spanish music industry due to the popularity of her new album, however, I think this album is her BEST.

She is one of the most innovative singers in pop/rock music today. Her sound is extremely unique, she cannot be compared, in my opinion, to ANYONE in the English or Spanish speaking music world. Her singing style is very playful, yet well orchestrated. She mixes rock, pop, and electro beats with accordeon sounds, piano, and guitar. You can listen to an immense amount of different sounds, even Mexican norteño music(Mexican polka).

If you are interested in listening to an exquisitely unique pop/rock sound, this is the best album to go by. The only comparison I think would do Julieta justice is to BJORK, not because she sounds like her, but because she has created an innovative style all of her own, one which cannot be boxed or matched.

can;t get enough julieta venegas.......2004-08-27

this album is well worth a try. I play it all the time.

GREAT JOB JULIETA!!!!.......2004-06-15

I totally love this album. Julieta is the best song writer in the world. Her songs are so deep and by listening at her songs you can tell that she is a very smart person and that she is not an every day singer. I hope that when I grow up I can write songs as good as her. My favorite song in the album is OTRO SOL because it represents how I once felt. Also the last song,SUENO DE SOMBRAS, is a beautiful song. I don't think that another song writer can write a song like SUENO DE SOMBRAS. This is a must have album.

Julieta the great!.......2003-11-19

This album is sooooo good!!
I've owned this album for over a year now and I still cannot tire of it! Julieta has a talent that is so amazing. Although I do not speak too much Spanish, it doesn't matter, because her music crosses language barriers. You can hear her emotion through the music. This album is a lot more "rocking" than her mellow "Aqui." **I never knew the accordian could sound so good. ;)

The most noble voice.......2004-05-28

Victoria de los Angeles' voice not only has a silken quality and fascinating glow to it but it is one of the most regal, noble sounds you'll ever hear. She illuminated those moments of quietness, gentleness and noble, feminine pride and elegance like no other soprano before and after her. This release of her "Spanish Songs" has never been surpassed. The songs of her homeland seem to have been written for her beautiful instrument alone, she fills every piece with special beauty and charm, religious flair and beautiful, noble simplicity. Buy this recording and see why Victoria is one of the best sopranos ever having come from Spain.

PURCHASE THIS JEWEL WHILE YOU CAN.......2002-01-08

FOR A LONG TIME "SONGS OF SPAIN" HAS BEEN MY FAVORITE ALBUM OF CLASSICAL, POPULAR, SECULAR AND RELIGIOUS (CHRISTIAN AND SEPHARDIC) SPANISH SONGS. DE LOS ANGELES DEFIES A RIVAL IN THIS GENRE. DE LARROCHA, SORIANO AND ZANETTI PROVIDE UNEQUALED ACCOMPANIEMENTS. THE RECORDINGS ARE SECOND ONLY TO LIFE PERFORMANCES. I UNDERSTAND THAT EMI INTENDS TO TAKE THIS SET OUT OF PUBLICATION. PURCHASE THIS JEWEL WHILE YOU CAN! I JUST PURCHASED MY THIRD SET FROM AMAZON AND I TREASURE IT AS MUCH AS MY FIRST!

luminous artistry from a genius.......2000-12-26

the vocal artist of vocal artistsdisplays her absolutely gorgeous voice and musical understanding of spanish feeling with a warmth that is unmatched anywhere.the only thing better was to hear her in person!

A special Dignity and an Unfailing Beauty of Voice........2000-09-17

This set offers four generously-filled CDs comprising almost 140 Spanish songs from Victoria de los Angeles' repertoire. To all of them she brings a special dignity and an unfailing beauty of voice. The earliest recordings date from 1950 and the last is the items she sang at the opening of the Barcelona Olympics in 1992. Yes, you will find the ubiquitous "Clavelitos!" here, and a later version of "La maya el ruisenor" from "Goyescas". The enclosed booklet provides illuminating notes by Lionel Salter, who also translated many of the texts which are also included. Accompanists include Gerald Moore and Alicia de Larrocha, and Victoria de Los Angeles provides a guitar accompaniment herself in one song. The last track of all, a zapateado from a zarzuela, recorded live in New York, must almost have brought the house down.

Es el mejor CD de los cuatro que tiene, por su contenido más rockero, por sus letras feministas y no tan cursis como las actuales; es más, algo que me enojó mucho fue su cambio repentino su maquillaje y el pearcing en la nariz... qué pasó Julieta??? acaso fueron los medios de comunicación o el consumismo los que te cambiaron?

The best, in my opinion out of her 4 CDs.
I was initially going to rate it a 4 out of 5 stars, but who am I kidding, I have been listening to this CD continuously for years. I drop it and pick it up again!
Julieta is a one-of-a-kind gem from Mexico, but trandescends languages.

Julieta Venegas' switch from moody, alt-rock chica to winsome pop star--via 2003's hit-packed Si--may have shocked some fans, but it also shed glorious pop light on an appealing new side of the Mexican singer. She's hardly looked back, and Limon y Sal offers a carefully crafted, dizzylingly diverse balance of both worlds. To be sure, Limon y Sal is soaked in sunny, vibrant melodies, and Venegas' offbeat stylings and charming voice make even the most bitter break-up song worthy of a smile. Kick-off track "Canciones de Amor" is a sun-kissed ode to love's complexities, and first single "Me Voy" rides a nostalgic accordion groove. The luxuriously lazy title track features a galloping groove and easy choruses that are downright Beatles-esque in their poppiness. "Primer Dia" is a questionable moment, with its uneasy mix of synthesized grooves and rap breaks, but for the most part, Limon y Sal offers just the right mix of radio-ready shimmer and rock edges, thanks in part to production work from Coti Sorokin and Cachorro Lopez. It only gets better as you dig deeper: the racing chrouses of "A Donde Sea"; the regional kick of "No Sere"; or the retro club vibe of "Eres Para Mi." Prime, intelligent pop at its best--and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. --Joey Guerra

Customer Reviews:

Wonderful!!! .......2007-07-15

I've purchased a LOT of music in the past year and Limon y Sal is my favorite of them all. I have Julieta's other CDs and this is her best. There isn't a single song on Limon y Sal that I don't like. Not many albums are good from top to bottom and Julieta shows off her range and charming personality on this CD more than on her others. Julieta has an amazing voice and a slightly quirky quality that I can't explain. This album is good even if you don't understand Spanish. The music holds up on its own. I recommend that fans get the dual disc version, with the behind the scenes footage of the recording process and the Me Voy video. I wish that the DVD side included the videos for Eres Para Mi and, well.....Limon y Sal (Duh!) as those are quite enjoyable videos, but you can't have everything, I guess.

Me Gusta.......2007-04-27

Every time I go to NYC, I make a point to go spend some time- as well as a small fortune- in the Virgin Megastore. While I was in the world music section, this album came on the sound system. I listened to the first song, left to do some shopping elsewhere, and when I came back, this was still on, and it was irresistable. Out of the fifteen-odd albums I bought that day, this was the first one I listened to, and it has so far proven to be the best. I highly recommend it to any enjoyer of well-crafted, melodic pop music. The highest compliment I can pay this album is that the music, without being overly dramatic, makes it so I understand everything she's saying, even though I don't know much Spanish. One of the most purely enjoyable albums I've bought in some time.

Easy listening with a personal touch.......2007-01-27

I've only listened to Aquì and Limon y Sal by Julieta Venegas, but out of those two I definitely prefer this. Julieta's special voice comes to its full right in this album. It is an album with happy Spanish-style pop music, nothing too advanced but more towards the easy listening. Also, if you like the music of La Oreja de Van Gogh I can really recommend this album (and vice versa if you like this album I can recommend the music of LOdVG).

Her Grammy was well deserved.......2006-11-08

"Limon y Sal" is a great Julieta Venegas album. Her lyrics are so simple and so sincere. My favorite songs from this CD are "Limon y Sal," "No Hace Falta," "Canciones de Amor," and "Sin Documentos." If you liked "Si" you will love this CD! I listen to it all the time. :)

Julieta in surround sound. Cojonudo!.......2006-09-17

I'm a recent fan of Julieta so my first taste of her music was Limon y sal. I've happily gone back through her catalog to savor "Si" (absolutely great pop that channels her Baja CA roots along with Lennon & McCartney via Prince...no easy task!) and her earlier CDs where she was doing more "alternative" flavors. I love it all and admire how she has progressed as an artist with true talent (and beauty) and not just an overly choreographed flavor of the month. That said, I'd like to comment on Juli in surround sound.

I purchased this dual disc a few days ago and just this morning sat down in the 5.1 sweet spot to let her music, well, surround me. Hats off to her and her co-producers. It's tastefully mixed to let Julieta's gorgeous voice take center stage while the guitars, percussion, keyboards (I'm a sucker for her accordeon especially) and backup vocals really seamlessly complement the overall effect. I've got an "old school" set up with Advent speakers (from the late 70s...I've dated myself!) in front and mini Advents behind, by the way. All in all, great. May she produce more splendid music, pop or alternative or wherever her muse may take her. I hear she's become a fan of Estrella Morente...maybe a flamenco-influenced disc with some Kiko Veneno added...hay que esperar...Also, I hope she's made her first million (in response to one sad reviewer stuck in her "alternative" phase...get over it...she's made an artist's choice that's hers alone) and goes on to make whatever she needs to make the choices she wants as a true artist without constraints. She's obviously not in it for the money like so many other "artists".

Asi como se dice en España...es cojonudo la tia y su musica tambien.

Go back in time..........2007-01-05

and relax with this amazing CD from the Dufay Collective. Cancionero is stately and romantic. Melancholy ballads as well as a bawdy tune! A must for any serious early music collector.
