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.

5 out of 5 stars Marc anthony is the man!.......2007-02-25

Marc anthony is the man.I love this cd infact,as I am writing this I am listening to "I need you" one of the songs from the cd.This cd gets a 10/10

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.

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.

Twenty discs and more than two decades into his solo career, Chayanne has nothing left to prove. The handsome entertainer has managed to stay afloat in the ever-fickle world of Latin pop, nary missing a beat. Chayanne has topped worldwide charts, shimmied on the silver screen alongside Vanessa Williams, and hawked soft drinks--all without a major push to the Anglo music market. Mi Tiempo, then, is the sound of a singer comfortable in his career. Frequent collaborator Estefano handles the bulk of the songwriting, and ballads mingle easily with a series of uptempo grooves. It makes for a fun, fluid collection. Listen to how the pulsing "Bailarina" gives way to the sweeping "Te Amare." Producers Sebastian de Peyrecave and José Gentile highlight Chayanne's strengths but still leave room for adventurous outings. "Me Voy a Rio" and "Lola" are irresistible calls to the dance floor; you can almost visualize Chayanne's electric choreography. And swoon-worthy first single "Si Nos Quedara Poco Tiempo" benefits from the glittering rock edge felt throughout Mi Tiempo. Another fine moment from one of the genre's often-overlooked heavyweights. --Joey Guerra

I purchased the cd when it was first released, but waiting until now to give my review as I needed to listen to it for awhile. Now that I have taken the time to really listen to Chayanne's Mi Tiempo (And I listened to it alot) I must say - I love the whole cd - You gotta check it out!
I too will be seeing Chayanne in concert (San Jose) tomorrow night (5-27-07) Hopefully he performs many of the songs on Mi Tiempo! Awesome cd!
Everyone has their own flavor for music. But if you are one who likes Latin music - Chayanne's Mi Tiempo is your flavor!

5 out of 5 stars Muy Bueno.......2007-05-07

Este nuevo disco de Chayanne es muy variado y muy romantico! Me encanta!

5 out of 5 stars Mi Tiempo.......2007-04-29

I have to say this album is fantastic!!! The music is sexy, and keeps you wanting more. It has a different style, but yet keeps Chayanne's essence. His voice is more mature, and more powerful!! Some of the songs have an island feel to them. They have Brazilian, and Jamaican sounds, which most were done, and written by singer/songwriter Estefano. He is responsible for Torero, Boom boom, Dejaria todo, Baila baila, Sentada aqui en mi alma, and many more of his greatest hits! You can sample the songs at his website, recent activity, and click on multimedia, then you will see his albums there. You can sample all of them. You can also get all the lyrics there. His first release for this album, Si nos quedara poco tiempo, has already been number 1 in most parts of the world, and this album has been number 1 already on the Billboard chart. He is my favorite singer, and I can't wait to see this gorgeous amazing talented man in concert this Thurs May 3,in NYC, at MSG!! If anyone wants to see a future upcoming concert, you can click his calender at the website for upcoming dates.

5 out of 5 stars Chayanne delivers again.......2007-04-19

Unlike some artists who repackage the same formula album after album, Chayanne continues to grow and develop, exploring new sounds on each new album without completely abandoning what his fans love. This one is fantastic.

My only complaint is that this CD does not contain the lyrics in the liner notes, however the website address is provided and the lyrics are available there.

Amazon.com

Sigo Siendo Yo (Still Being Me) is not only the title of Marc Anthony's new hits collection, it's also a reaffirmation of his status as one of Spanish-language music's preeminent voices. The stirring set is balanced with sweeping ballads ("Ahora Quien," "Se Esfuma Tu Amor") and Anthony's true forte--scorching salsa numbers ("Valio La Pena," Tu Amor Me Hace Bien"). Still, everything is vividly enhanced by Anthony's astonshing vocal range. The disc's two new songs are a toss up: "Lo Que No Di" is overblown, overwrought and ponderous. In other words, a likely theme song for some future telenovela. First single "Que Precio Tiene El Cielo" is much better, highlighted by a sweet, slowly building salsa rhythm. Some hits--"Dimelo," "Muy Dentro De Mi"--are equally familiar in their English-language versions but benefit from richer performances en espanol--usually the case with Anthony's material. Also included--perhaps as a sweet bit of foresight--is "No Me Ames," Anthony's 1999 duet with future wife Jennifer Lopez. --Joey Guerra

4 out of 5 stars Great CD.......2007-04-01

A very good CD! Celos, Tu Amor Me Hace Bien and Que Precio Tiene El Cielo which is burning on the Radio in Boston is awesome, great musical Salsa arrangements on these songs...very intoxicating!

Lamento Jibaro...is a great sad Puerto Rican story with a nice old style musical arrangement which takes you back to the Island for those whom can relate and undertand the story behind the lyrics to this song.

A great CD for New Marc fans to endulge in his Spanish Music for starters.

I purchased this cd for my mother who is a HUGE Marc Anthony fan. This cd was okay but I wouldn't go out of my way to purchase another one. I was expecting so much more (new songs, etc.) from Marc. There were too many ballads and not enough salsa. He's had much better in the past.

Amazon.com

Singer/songwriter Marc Anthony gets back to the basics here, rewarding his main fanbase by recording salsa versions of the Spanish-language pop ballads on his Amar sin Mentiras CD. Beyond "Lamento Borincano," the old folk-salsa standard by the legendary Puerto Rican songwriter Rafael Hernandez, there isn't anything new. The other seven tracks are simply horn-fueled and percussion heavy retakes. But even those who already have Amar can find new juice here. Valio La Pena vibrates with new sonic urgency as Anthony describes the risks sometimes necessary in finding romantic happiness. The pop version of "Ahora Quien" was dramatic and anthemic. Here, it's speeded up and filled out with melodic pianos and horns. Even "Escapemonos," the tepid duet with actress/singer Jennifer Lopez, gets a recharge in the salsa version thanks to percolating percussions. Anthony's strength is his strong, plaintive vocals. On ballads he's ok, but it's in fiery salsa tunes where the music and the vocals really complement each other. Did we really need two Anthony CDs? Probably not, but his hardcore salsa fans will appreciate the extra effort. --Ramiro Burr

5 out of 5 stars Love it.......2007-03-28

One of the reasons I'm such a big fan of Marc Anthony is that he's able to sing with such feeling. With this CD he does it again. Valio la Pena is the kind of album you either want to dance to or sing. Or both. Marc and his band put their all into this album and the end result is a fantastic CD from el rey de salsa. Enjoy.

5 out of 5 stars Valio la pena to buy this cd.lol.......2007-02-25

This is a great cd from marc anthony.I love the song "se esfuma tu amor".I have all of marc anthony songs in my ipod.He is the best.

4 out of 5 stars HE'S BACK!.......2006-11-21

After acouple of questionables albums Marc Anthony the best modern day salsero is back and i cant be any happier as i live and die by this mans golden voice and unlike victor manuelle he can get away with this salsa/bolero style of salsa.Tu amor me haces bien being the best song of the album and the rest is just as good i gave it 4 stars b/c at the start of the album it was a smooth start but it got choppy by the end, the landing was rough but it was good enough to give it four stars.

4 out of 5 stars Just off 5 stars.......2006-07-31

Marc Anthony is excellent as always. The only reason I didn't give this five stars is that I was disappointed to find out that the album contains "salsa" versions of the songs played on the radio such as Ahora Quien. The version I heard on the radio is more of a ballad style as is Tu Amor me Hace Bien. Since I prefer the slower versions there was a bit of a disappointment for me since I still have to buy the slower versions. Other than that I love the album.

2 out of 5 stars Not as good as his 3 previous salsa albums.......2006-05-19

*** stars - can't change the above!

Valio is a rearrangement of some of the songs of Amar sin Mentiras. And it definitely has the feeling of an afterthought.

While it is a pretty decent salsa album (albeit brief), it is simply not in the class of his other three salsa CD's, Todo a su Tiempo, Contra la Corriente, and especially, Libre. The arrangements are standard competent rather than thorougly innovative and unique as were the older ones.

5 out of 5 stars Don't know what he's singing about but he IS singing @}->---.......2006-08-05

As a long time fan of Marc Anthony, I have all of his cds. I love his voice because while it's powerful, it's also smooth and heavenly. I love all of his work, but there is something about him singing in spanish. It's obviously so natural to him and he's at his best then. Not that I know what he's singing about, but the songs are so stunning and beautiful - it almost doesn't matter.
On here, the two standout songs are Te Conozco Bien and a beautiful ballad Hasta Ayer. I love to listen to this often because it's soothing after a long day. While I do wish he'd release more english speaking albums, again, I think he's at his best singing spanish. Pick this up if you are a salsa or a Marc Anthony fan. It's amazing.

5 out of 5 stars Best Album by Marc Anthony.......2005-10-27

I originally purchased this tape over eight years ago. I had a super long commute and it never left my car. Now that I no longer have a commute, or a tape deck in my truck for that matter, I decided to purchase the CD for in home use. And USE it I do. There are not a lot of songs on the CD but as the old saying goes its quality not quantity that counts. I own other Marc Anthony CD's but this is, by far, the best.
Buy it and enjoy.

5 out of 5 stars Todo esta tan rico!.......2004-12-07

I truly don't know how ANY Marc Anthony CD can go unnoticed---particularly the Spanish language albums. This man is truly one of the greatest salseros of today. He mixes his own funky, fresh flavor with traditional salsa coros and beautiful orchestration (due in no small part to Sergio George, one of the greatest Latin music producers today).

This album starts off on a high and energetic note with "Se Me Sigue Olvidando." I love the piano intro! It only gets better from there. Some of his most well-loved salsa tunes are front and center on this CD. They include "Te Conozco Bien," "Nadie Como Ella," and "Te Amare." There is also an achingly beautiful ballad in "Hasta Ayer." If anything, Marc needs to record more romantic ballads. I can guarantee you, that if he doesn't break your heart with his devestatingly beautiful vocals, the guitar riffs will melt even the iciest heart. Many of these songs are also featured on "Desde El Principio," a retrospective of Marc's great salsa career.

5 out of 5 stars The best Marc Anthony album ever!.......2004-08-20

This is my very favorite Marc Anthony album. "Se Me Sigue Olvidando", "Te Amaré", and "Nadie Como Ella", are my three favorite songs on this album. None of his other albums could ever compare to this one.

5 out of 5 stars NY/PR Music.......2007-02-19

Excellent, quality latin music with a NY flavor. Some of the tracks can't be labeled as contemporary or classic
(possibly standard). The CD reaches a peak with track # 14, Preciosa, which begins melodically with great lyrical content then, after about 3 minutes, explodes with emotion & power.

5 out of 5 stars Dos ritmos, una música.......2006-10-06

Esta agrupación ha logrado ensamblar magistralmente el son, la salsa, con la música clásica. Una vez que uno escucha a Bach, Beethoven, Mozart reinterpretados por estos alemanes (Klazz Brother) y cubanos (Cuba Percusssion), no podrá concebir de otro modo la obra de estos grandes compositores.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic collection.......2006-08-24

Like others, I was skeptical when I heard about the idea, but this collection easily won me over. What I find so interesting is that the arrangements are so good, so creative, it's as though these well-known classical pieces were *written* as Cuban music. You find yourself completely accepting this genre-bending experiment.

Extremely enjoyable -- as is their companion album, "Jazz Meets Cuba".

4 out of 5 stars Unlikely Crossover of Cuban Beats with Familiar Classics Yields Mostly Zingy Confection.......2005-12-28

Crossover efforts are always risky ventures that dance precariously between creative and contrived. There is definitely some of the latter on this 2002 recording, but surprisingly, far more of the former as the fruitful teaming of three German classical-jazz musicians and a pair of Cuban percussionist/vocalists puts a hearty Latin-flavored spin on some very familiar classics. Two of the Klazz Brothers, pianist Tobias Forster and bassist Killian Forster, took a fortuitous trip to Cuba and concluded the popular classical pieces they usually played could easily be adapted to the Cuban- and Afro-Cuban Jazz styles.

The beat-heavy results bear them out, as they developed fresh, energetic and lyrical arrangements of standard works by Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Haydn, Chopin, Schubert and others, that still respect the original compositions. The jazzed-up titles aptly (if a bit too preciously) reflect the changes - Mozart's Symphony No. 40 transforms into "Mambozart", Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 becomes "Salsa No. V", and Bizet's Carmen Suite turns into "Carmen Cubana". With titles like those, some of the pieces, perhaps because of their familiarity, come across as a bit too trite, for example, "Afrolise", which sounds bit too cocktail loungey to be too revitalizing a take on Beethoven's "Für Elise", and "Guten Abend", which sounds a bit like a somnambulant Vince Guaraldi take on Brahms's original lullaby.

However, the high points are abundant, starting with the three movements of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 8 "Pathétique," exciting pieces that feel culturally transformed by the sultry romanticism of the Cuban beats crowned by Tobias Forster's virtuoso playing. Also wonderful are the mournful "Czardas" and the conga-accentuated "Flight of the Bumblebee", both dominated by brother Killian's dexterous bass playing. The three others in the quintet are all equally superb musicians - Tim Hahn, the third Klazz Bother on drums, and Alexis Herrera Estevez (timbales) and Elio Rodriguez (congas), both of Cuba Percussion. The vital mix of sounds in what could have been a hopeless misfire makes for a genuinely exhilarating listening experience.

4 out of 5 stars A unique piece of mixed classic/jazzy/south-american music .......2005-07-28

A unique piece of mixed classic/jazzy music which matches wonderfully in my collection. It is trully remarkable to discover the full classical music-education of these performers, which brings them to make this wonderful CD of high-standard music.

4 out of 5 stars Interesting, but need to try harder..........2005-03-27

I found this CD after watching "Collateral". The music sounds very interesting when classic melodies blended with swing and jazz. But they sticked to the originial notes too much. I wish they could have created more variations and improvisation. Also, in this "Classic Meets Cuba" CD, the Cuba part needs to be emphasized more (putting them into a central stage in some tracks; the solo in the Fur Elise track is a good example) rather than treating the percussion beats as peripheral background. Taking the advantage of these vivid beats could further set the musicians free from the original notes. Overall, this is a good CD and is perfect for smooth jazz lover. Hope they can try harder and do more in their up-coming new release-Jazz Meets Cuba.
