Created as a benefit project for Artists' Project Earth, an organization devoted to protecting the environment, reversing climate change, and tendering disaster relief, this compilation pairs Western pop stars (U2, Sting, Artic Monkeys, et al) and their hits with all-new arrangements performed by members of Cuba's Buena Vista Social Club plus other Havana-based talent. The overall effect is of a well-meaning but not entirely simpatico mutual admiration society. Coldplay's "Clocks" is a good example; the lead vocal is coolly lethargic, engulfing the spiky crags of the rhythm section like syrup on a waffle. But then, most of the singers sound strangely unconnected to the frisky 1-2-3/1-2 of the clavé beat. The contrast between the two groups of players could have been bracing, and to many ears it perhaps will be, but most of the time, they seem to transmitting from parallel universes. Not surprisingly, the best tracks are those in which hometown icons are left to do what they do best. But the late, great Ibrahim Ferrer's marvelous interpretation of "As Time Goes By" (his final recording) and Omara Portuondo's wistful yet powerful cover of "Killing Me Softly" only serve to further showcase what's amiss with the rest of the album. --Christina Roden

3 out of 5 stars Rhythms Del Mundo.......2007-07-15

It's a good idea and not bad for the effort. The songs while some work very well ,the others were just a good try . I can see what they were trying to do. Anyway it's for a good purpose

5 out of 5 stars Rhythms del Mundo: Cuba.......2007-07-05

I love this CD. Every cut is good. I can clearly appreciate the original artist and the Latin beat at the same time. I am so pleased to have a CD that every cut is good and I don't have to stop what I am doing in the cafe to skip a cut when the player is on scramble.

4 out of 5 stars Great Salsa/Pop Fusion CD.......2007-07-04

The fusion of well known pop artists (ie; U2, Coldplay, etc.) and Buena Vista Social Club totally works on this great CD.

1 out of 5 stars Disappointing...buy something else.......2007-06-01

This is disappointing...a few of the remakes are ok. Some cuts are intolerably poor. The overal quality is poor and it is not as advertised.

5 out of 5 stars Unique, fun CD-Rock and traditional tunes turned Latin.......2007-05-29

We love this CD and all of our guests who have heard it love it too. The latin version of Cold Play's "Clocks" seems like they should have recorded it that way from the start. You'll recognize all of the songs and enjoy the Spanish or rhymically-latin versions.

    Amazon.com

    La Llave De Mi Corazon finds tropical music troubadour Juan Luis Guerra returning to the secular sounds that have made him an enduring, endearing performer. His last disc, 2004's Para Ti, was a cautiously received--if still joyous--collection of spiritual tunes. La Llave De Mi Corazon centers on romance and love, themes that better suit Guerra's blend of salsa, merengue and other assorted tropical rhythms. The cutesy title track is featured in English and in Spanish, though it's doubtful Guerra will engage in any serious crossover work anytime soon. Better is "Something Good," a silky, simmering duet with smoky-voiced Chiara Civello. Guerra's own rich, expressive delivery is always a treat. He's emotive without oversinging, particularly during the lilting "A La Vera" and "Solo Tengo Ojos Para Ti." Standout "Si Tu No Bailas Conmigo" is a simple, gorgeous ode to amor that soars on glittering imagery and a gently shuffling beat. "If you don't dance with me, I prefer not to dance," Guerra confesses to a lover. It's an irresistible invitation. --Joey Guerra

    Most songs are good. Not sure I like his effort on most of the ballads included. I prefer his fast rhytm fun songs in the CD.

    5 out of 5 stars El mejor album latino del 2007.......2007-07-18

    Quien no recuerda "Bachata Rosa", "Si Tu Te Vas" o "Mi PC"? Juan Luis Guerra forma parte integral del haber crecido en Hispanoamerica en los años ochenta y noventa. Desde el cambio de siglo, no se sentia con la misma fuerza (o al menos no lo sentia YO con la misma fuerza), pero "La Llave De Mi Corazon" cambio todo de nuevo.

    Aunque el sonido del album recuerda a la mejor epoca del gigante genio de la musica Dominicana, el album refresca el ambiente, recordandole al mundo el nivel de genialidad de Juan Luis Guerra que logra a un mismo tiempo alborotarle a uno las ganas de bailar y de decirle "Te Amo" a la pareja. No hay cancion debil en el album, lo cual equivale a decir que no hay descanso para los fanaticos de Juan Luis a lo largo y ancho de los 13 tracks.

    Simplemente, sin lugar a duda, "La Llave De Mi Corazon" es el mejor album latino del año 2007.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent Come Back on Juan Luis Guerra...finally!!!.......2007-07-15

    I just love it, the english songs and new jazz rithems are a great complement to the other merengue, salsa and bachata songs.

    Well rounded album full of poetry and dancing!

    5 out of 5 stars AHORA SI !!!!!!!!.......2007-06-22

    Este si es el Juan Luis que aprendi a admirar desde hace mas de 20 años..Aqui vuelve a componer y cantar para todo su publico, con ese talento sin medida que tiene para orgullo de todos los latinos.
    Despues de un pequeño desvio en el camino ( desde mi optica), en el cual quizo dar testimonio de su fe particular, olvidando que su publico es heterogeneo y que no necesariamente valora sus creencias intimas (aun cuando las respete) de la forma en que valora su musica que si tiene un valor universal...,Juan Luis vuelve a ser lo que es...nuestro mas grande artista!!!
    Excelente CD..!!!!

    5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT!!!!.......2007-05-21

    Juan Luis Guerra demuestra con este disco otra vez por que es uno de los musicos mas influyentes de latinoamerica, su versatilidad se pone de manifiesto una vez mas en este disco al combinar diferentes ritmos musicales como en "la llave de mi corazon". Excelente para todo amante de la buena musica.

    10. Guajira Dubois - The Bryan Lynch/Eddie Palmieri Project

    Album Description

    A mixture of Afro-Cuban rhythms and jazz style come together on Latin Jazz, a lively collection of songs by masters of the genre.

    The artists featured on Latin Jazz represent an honored cast of musicians ranging from early pioneers of the genre to those who have helped it remain a viable force for more than 60 years. Machito, a contemporary of Dizzy Gillespie and Duke Ellington, was a pioneering bandleader who helped deepen the bond between Afro-Cuban music and American jazz. His classic track "Congo Mulence" opens the album and features fellow jazz legend Cannonball Adderley. Other legendary figures on the album include Tito Puente, whose mastery of the timbales combined with old-fashioned showmanship kept his music fresh and relevant over the years, and Eddie Palmieri, whose piano techniques put him in the same league as jazz legends Thelonious Monk and McCoy Tyner. He teams here with Brian Lynch on "Guajira Dubois," a game of musical tag between Palmieri's piano and Lynch's trumpet.

    The driving rhythm behind most Latin jazz comes from its powerful percussion, and Latin Jazz showcases some of the finest in this field. Master conguero (congo player) Poncho Sanchez leads one of the most popular Latin jazz groups in the world. His seasoned ensemble contribute the cool energy of "El Sabroson", while Ray Barretto covers the classic "Summertime." Considered the "godfather of Latin jazz," Barretto was the first Latino to have a Latin hit on the American Billboard Charts.

    Other luminaries on the album include Hilton Ruiz, a former child prodigy who appeared at Carnegie Hall at the age of 8, Chocolate Armenteros, the legendary Cuban trumpet player, and Manny Oquendo & Libre, who represent a multigenerational dynasty of Latin music. Icelandic double-bassist Tómas R. Einarsson, and New York icon Chico Alvarez round out the collection.

    El Cantante - The Originals - Hector Lavoe

    Héctor Lavoe continues to be the source of tributes, covers, drama, and films. This collection of carefully remastered original songs affirms that the attention is well deserved. It features some of the classic hits he recorded together with Willie Colon. The influence of Lavoe will continue to be felt in the Latin music world, but nothing beats listening to this remastered original.

    Héctor Lavoe siempre será una fuente de tributos, álbumes, portadas, obras de teatro, y películas. Esta colección de temas originales remasterizados otorgan la atención que se merece el gran cantante. Adicionalmente, contiene canciones clásicas que grabo con Willie Colon. La comunidad latina continuara sintiendo el impacto de Lavoe, pero en realidad, no hay nada mejor que escuchar este álbum original remasterizado.

    Those who like Hector Lavoe will enjoy this cd. Although the quality is not excellent (I heard the original LP in one of my neighbor's sound system and liked the sound and was amazed by the coda of Periodico de Ayer, an almost classical part at the end of the song with violins which lamentably is not included in this CD.)
    I also like Dia de Suerte. How the chorus begins at "destiempo"... had not noticed it? uhmm.

    Marc Anthony comes on like a suave, less jumpy alternative to Ricky Martin on this mostly English-language album. Having already introduced itself to the pop mainstream with the salsa-tinged single "I Need to Know," Marc Anthony offers several other obvious crossover hits, ranging from the Rodney Jerkins-produced Latin-funk fusion of "She's Been Good to Me" to the lovelorn midtempo ballad "When I Dream at Night." However, Anthony's agreeably keening voice is too often applied to the sort of colorless adult-contemporary material typical of Michael Bolton and Mariah Carey mainstay Walter Afansieff, who produces or coproduces three tracks here. The result is often more interesting in sociological terms--Anthony fans who, like the star, were born to Latino parents in America are as sure to eat this disc up as his new Caucasian admirers--than in musical ones. Ain't that America? --Rickey Wright

    1 out of 5 stars When you purchase from a Junk Dealer.......2007-05-15

    The CD arrived in a torn brown bag, loosely taped on the outside - upon opening the brown wrapper I was surprised to find the case taped together -upon opening the broken case, I found a CD that has some kind of dried food or milk product on one side and the recorded side was scratched heavily. This is truly a junk dealer to send something in this deplorable condition. There are really no words to describe my thoughts when I opened this CD. I just hope I did not catch something by opening this nasty package.

    5 out of 5 stars Marc Anthony.......2007-04-02

    I really like the way that Marc Anthony's musical crew assembles the instruments in his songs. Marc Anthony has a dynamic voice but I loved the way those instruments play in harmony. This cd has a blend of different rythms and the lyrics are in english which allows english speaking people to enjoy and understand the meaning of Marc Anthony's songs. I have just about every Marc Anthony cd. And even though I may have a favorite song there is not a cd album I do not like. He is an artist through and through.

    Service was great... CD's arrived quickly and in perfect order.

    All used CD's sound wonderful. All vendors were great

    Just a side note: sending stuff via UPS requires a person to be
    home to sign for it. on that particular item, I had to have it rerouted to another address as I work during the day. That was a bit of a pain but it arrived safe and sound.

    5 out of 5 stars great CD!!!.......2006-06-13

    In my opinion, Marc Anthony is the best male singer alive. His voice is so beautiful, and his way of expressing emotions always touches my heart. This CD is a masterpiece. I love each one of songs. "Mended" is also a great CD, but I prefer this one.

    5 out of 5 stars Suprising.......2007-06-15

    After purchasing many compilations I began to fear that I would never again hear a cd as good as my first (Siddharta Vol. 1) but this cd woke me up. Some songs are better than others. "Siempre Me Quedará" for example is one of the best songs I've heard in months and all are consistantly good except for one song called "Carmela" which sounds like something my grandparents would dance to.
    When I realised that Putumayo made many discs with many different themes without sticking to 1 theme I assumed it would be commercial and weak, but the disc outdoes most buddha bar or hotel costes compilations!
    A great Listen, I highly recommend it.

    5 out of 5 stars Speak Spanish or Not, This CD is Great.......2007-04-10

    I am a Spanish student and am nearly fluent. It's fun to listen to this CD and know what they're saying, but even if you can't speak a word of Spanish, this CD will retain a special place on your shelf (or a permanent place in your CD player). The music varies from tangoes to salsas to mambos. I especially enjoy listening to this CD in my car because... it's just plain fun to listen to.

    5 out of 5 stars Smooth and Sexie.......2007-03-13

    All the cuts offer a tasty bite of Latin flavor. Latin Jazz and Euro fusion. Great listening music or as a back drop to accent a dinner party. The music is captivating, enchanting, and just a pleasure to listen. This is the kind of music that goes great with a sunset, wine, and a friend.

    5 out of 5 stars Learn Spanish and groove at the same time: Latin Lounge.......2007-01-04

    I just bought this CD at the airport in San Jose, Costa Rica. It was playing over the loudspeaker in the gift shop and I was hooked. Happy to help the local economy but I could have saved some $ if I had bought it on amazon. This is an amazing CD. Not only is the music great, but you can also improve your Spanish by listening to the lyrics. If you like groovy Latin music, buy this now.

    5 out of 5 stars Putumayo.......2006-12-15

    PUTUMAYO is awesome music, a real eye opener. Similar in many ways to the BUDDHA BAR approach but different flavour.

    Anyone who enjoys this cd may want to try MANU CHAO (proxima estacion ... ESPERANZA) for another trully great Latin American music.

    This is definitely one of the easiest CD's to pop in, along with Nuevo Latino .... anytime anywhere ... just makes you enjoy the moment so much more.

    Spanish Harlem Orchestra's United We Swing does more than just make you want to dance. The joyous collection will likely incite a full-scale house party, complete with flowy dresses, sparkly jewelry, and silky, unbuttoned shirts. The disc plays like an actual live performance, a tight mix of passion and precision. Bandleader Oscar Hernandez even introduces the entire outfit on the opening track. Horns blare, percussion pulses, and a voice of choruses guides several numbers. If nothing else, take a listen to the trio of "Sacala Bailar," "Ahora Si," and "Que Bonito," which comes midway through the disc, for an idea of SHO's sparkling seamlessness. "Danzon For My Father" is a touching instrumental tribute, and the bilingual "Late in the Evening-Tarde en la Noche" features an inspired guest spot by Paul Simon, who matches the group's swelling enthusiasm. Swing does just that--and so much more. --Joey Guerra

    Since their arrival in 2000, Spanish Harlem Orchestra (SHO) has established itself as a standard bearer of contemporary Latin music. Directed by world-renowned pianist, arranger, and producer Oscar Hernández, the thirteen-member all-star ensemble has reintroduced the classic sounds of New York City Salsa to music lovers worldwide. United We Swing, SHO's third album, is a stunning follow-up to their 2004 Grammy award-winning album Across 110th St., and their 2002 Grammy nominated debut, Un Gran Día En El Barrio.

    On United We Swing, Spanish Harlem Orchestra continues in the same classic-meets-contemporary sound, but with refreshing originality. Nine of the songs are original compositions grounded in the unique identity the band has forged based on the musical legacy of El Barrio, a pulsating Eastside community in NYC located to the south of 125th St that gave rise to Boogaloo, Latin Soul, and Salsa.

    This cd is awsome! I can listen to it over and over, never tiring of it. How many cds can a person really say that about? Spectacular music, great voices, neat lyrics-it is a must have! I felt an immediate passion for Pepe and The Bottle Blondes, the same passion that I feel for Pink Martini, and that is truly saying something!

    5 out of 5 stars Great Fun!.......2006-03-13

    I absolutely love this album! I stumbled across it while searching music on Pink Martini (another great group) and after previewing its songs, had to order it. If you're new to latin music this is a great CD to start with because it's going to get you hooked. And if you already have an appreciation for latin/salsa music then you're definitely going to want to add this to your collection. I could listen to it over and over again. It's very happy music that makes you want to get up and dance. Perfect for dinner parties!

    5 out of 5 stars Enjoy the CD.......2006-01-31

    A great CD, fun to listen to. Enjoyed by even our more conservative as well as our kids. Just a hoot.

    5 out of 5 stars Makes Ya Wanna Shake It!.......2006-01-14

    This is perhaps the most FUN I've ever heard on a CD! This CD is fantastic! Every single person that has heard it (through me) has purchased it and now they are turning everyone else onto it as well! If you ever thought of dance lessons, this will do the trick to get you out there! All ages and all types of people LOVE this CD! I just ordered their new CD and cannot wait to receive it! Who said that Pepe does not compare to Pink Martini? They are two different sounds and one should not compare the two.

    5 out of 5 stars Even more fun in person..........2005-11-15

    This group tours in the Pacific Nortwest, and I've had the chance to see them a couple of times... they are so much fun! Very campy and a little over the top and always fun, and the music is just great. This CD is a great sampling of their talent and their enthusiam for the music, and it's right up there with my favorites, which do include Pink Martini. But to that moron who said in his review that they don't compare to Pink Martini... phhffttt! That's like comparing the B-52s to U2... No, they aren't quite the same class of musicians and vocalists, but what they lack in style they more than make up in heart and just plain fun.

    4 out of 5 stars This album is just perfect a true Reggaeton Album.......2007-07-20

    As we all know, this is the first solo effort for Zion, and a really good effort by the way... in this review I'll speak individually about every song on the album..

    1- Zun Dada: Just awesome... it presents a wacky beat that is just perfectly made to blend with Zion's voice, it's a romantic song that mixes strings hi-hats and reggaeton 9/10

    2- Abre La Puerta ... I don't really like that song it's just boring and it says the same thing over and over again 4/10

    3- The Way She Moves... It's a good song that features Akon (he's everywhere :P), which presents a luring beat... but tends to be repetitive as well 7/10

    4- Amor de Pobre... I just love this song... I think it's the best song of this entire album... it features Eddie Dee, and mixes reggaeton with vallenato in a perfect way.. that tells us about his willing to please his love even though he's poor 10/10

    5-Oh Mami.... Yuck... i just hate it.. it's boring and it's like a 3 min+ whining by zion 1/10

    6- Hagamos El Amor... Plain old boring... with a really really slow beat and dumb lyrics 2/10

    7- Besame... Boring... the bases of this song are 3 words... 3/10
    8-Your Body... Good duet featuring De la Ghetto (weird name).. which even though it has repetitive lyrics (her body is on fire), presents a cool beat that is original 7/10

    9- Te Vas... It's a really slow song (nothing new... just a semi ballad that is just bad) 2/10

    10- Cuarto Nivel..... It's a level of nothingness unknown for humans.. this song talks about how they're above everything and do things differently... 2/10

    11- Money... a typical hip-hop with an r&b mix that talks about his richness.. and that people want to shine with him... 1/10

    12- La Neta... I've never understood this song... it talks about something that's the end... but it mixes love... and weird lyrics about how cool the song is... but I really like the cumbia beat so... 8/10

    13-Amor... A slow song that presents really good lyrics by Zion that tells us about what would he do with his loved one... 8/10

    14- Periodico de Ayer... Weird song that presents us about how Zion dealt with the pain caused by his ex... 3/10

    15-Fantasma... A cool song that tells us about Zion's misfortune with love... and that his girlfriend always worries him by coming and going, without telling him.... 7/10

    Well at the end of the review I can say that Zion is one of the best romantic based reggaeton singers out there... that makes people know that reggaeton isn't just about being rich and cool and famous... and he presents us lyrics that we can all relate to.

    4 out of 5 stars Good cd.......2007-07-20

    I personally like the first song a lot zun da da.. (what it means ..i dont know) but is sounds good.. after that some good songs ...amor de pobre, amor , the way she moves, and fantasma..

    5 out of 5 stars Trabajo de Equipo.......2007-06-18

    Indiscutiblemente que la excelente terminación de este trabajo, a parte del gran esfuerzo de Zion Baby, depende del excelente equipo de gente que trabajo en este proyecto. Esta producción vale la pena tenerla.

    5 out of 5 stars La Melodia Perfecta - 4.5 estrellas en realidad........2007-06-15

    Zion nos trae su primer solo album "Perfect Melody". En realidad su melodia si es perfecta. Casimente todas las canciones en este album son clasicas (buenisimas), solo hay dos canciones que no me gustan mucho y esas son: Besame y Cuarta Nivel.

    La mejor cancion del album entero es Amor De Pobre, esa cancion si que esta encendia, te la comiste ahi ZION.

    En conclusion, este CD ta clasico, se lo recomiendo a cualquier persona.

    Cuidense my gente y pa'lante los latinos.

    2 out of 5 stars Eh...?.......2007-06-13

    Being a fan of Zion y Lennox, and Zion himself, I was really stoked for the release of his album. Sadly, I didn't think much of it. There are just a handful of songs that are worth listening to. A handful. The rest are not even worth listening. 'Money' made me cringe. A lot.

    I'm very disappointed. I expected a lot better.
