All The Hits.......2007-06-02

A continuation from Vol I of the all-time greats. Every song is a winner!

A Smoker!!!.......2007-05-12

The companion cd to volume 1 and every bit as good. This release has the top cream of old school salsa in it. Not one bad track in the lot. Of all the salsa compilations I have come across, this and vol. 1 are as good as it gets. Wheter you are a hard core Latino or are just a lover of great music, I highly recommend this. You just can't go wrong here. Bon appetit.

Truly Great Salsa.......2007-01-12

Although the title may seem a bit smug, this truly is great salsa from all over Latin America and the Caribbean. This is an ideal collection not only for a genuine salsaholic but also someone who is looking for an overview of the genre. There is not a single lame groove on this disc, and some of my favorites are songs I had never even heard when I bought it. Some of these songs also have things to say, like the heartbreaking story of "El Gran Varon" (The Great Male) and the scathing social commentary of "Plastico." For real old-school salsa, check out "Las Caras Lindas" (Beautiful Faces) or The Queen of Salsa herself, Celia Cruz, on "Quimbara." Another great tune is "A la Hora que Me Llamen Voy" (At the moment they call me, I go) by Jose Alberto "El Canario": It starts with a crowd scene like Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On," then the intoxicating chorus begins, the beat kicks in, and El Canario starts singing in a voice so sensual that it could melt iron. This is the rare CD on which you will find yourself listening to every song and not skipping over a single one!

Better than Volume I.......2003-10-10

Usually, when you pick up a CD by Artist X emblazoned with "Volume II," you expect: okay, here are the tunes that weren't good enough to make the first cut, and since the first CD was a success and we've already got these additional tunes in the can, let's make a few more bucks off this deal.

Thankfully, this is far from the truth with Cuban bassist Israel Lopez, a.k.a. 'Cachao,' producer Andy Garcia (yes, *that* Andy Garcia), and executive producer Emilio Estevez, Jr. While I never really connected with Volume I, this 1995 release of Volume II is something I have played over and over and over again. That's really saying something about the quality of Vol. II, since Vol. I was, after all, nothing short of a Grammy award-winning release.

Unluckily, this CD came out right around the same time as almost simultaneous releases from Buena Vista Social Club, Afro-Cuban All-Stars, and pianist Ruben Gonzalez. So Cachao, Vol. II got a little buried in the wave of publicity that accompanied all that. But the good news for the hundreds of thousands - if not millions - of fans of those releases is what a surprise you have waiting for you with Cachao, Master Sessions Vol. II. It's the perfect background music for your next little get-together.

Excellent!!!.......2001-03-08

I absolutely love this CD. The rich African beat along with the latin mix make this a mesmerizing experience. I recommend both Volumes 1 and 2. I first heard this music after watching Dance With Me and I had to own both volumes. Thank you Cachao for sharing your special gift.

Absolutely marvelous.......1999-09-27

As a latina woman, Cachao brings us back to our roots. Africa. He incorporates everything from heavy percussions to african chants. It makes you want to dance, dance, dance!!!!!!!!!!

quite simply, a genuis.......1999-09-04

I am hardly an expert, and only know what I enjoy; but it is quite cleat that Cachao has great musical imagination. Is that Cuban klezmer on the opening track?

Cachao: the originator of the Latin Caribbean sound........1999-04-14

Cachao, a cuban, was the originaot of what is now known as Salsa. His danzones, mambos, and descargas are known world-wide as being the best of the best. He is also deemed one of the greatest bassists of our time. His music in this album is excellent, especially "Spoon Lips." Well worth every penny sent.

Amazon.com

This disc was made with two purposes--to give an overview of the emerging Latin influence in the Top 40, and to get people dancing. The one problem is that many tracks have been remixed with the congas, Latinized drum machine, and handclaps up front, knocking out lots of the originals' character. Yet the production on a song that we've heard too much of, like Ricky Martin's "Livin' la Vida Loca," is an improvement over the radio mix. MDO, a millennial Menudo redux, upholds Menudo alumnus Martin's tradition competently with "Groove with Me Tonight"--it's certainly better than anything to come out of the Backstreet Boys or N Sync camps. Shakira was subjected to the remixing treatment once before on the album Remixes, but her strong songwriting and vocals saved the day, as they do here on "Ciega Sordomuda." It's obvious why so many people are betting she'll be a huge crossover star. Jennifer Delgado's "Que Tu Tienes" is perfectly mixed for dance radio, but you won't be hearing it on your station soon--it's in Spanish. Elvis Crespo's "Suavamente" made the airwaves big-time last year after he cut a Spanglish version, which is another highlight here. "Suavamente" is twice as catchy as "Livin' la Vida Loca" and makes better use of Latin beats and instrumentation. In a just world, Elvis would be mopping the floor with Ricky. --John Sanchez

MUY BUENOS REMIXES!.......2000-10-24

THE BEST REMIXES ARE FROM THE FOLLOWING ARTISTS:JENNIFER LOPEZ, RICKY MARTIN, CHAYANNE, GRUPO MANIA, DLG, SHAKIRA, IVY QUEEN, MDO Y WILL SMITH.

IF YOU LIKE LATIN MUSIC, I ALSO RECOMMEND: "PASIONAL" BY JESSICA CRISTINA, "SUBEME EL VOLUMEN" BY MICHAEL STUART, "ETERNO" BY LUIS FONSI, "TUYA" BY LOURDES ROBLES AND "TRES" BY FIEL A LA VEGA.

Great introduction to Latin music for the novice.......2000-01-09

This is a great cd to get a taste of the current latin scene and some of its biggest stars. It has some excellent versions of more notable songs, such as Suavemente by Elvis Crespo. This cd, along with the soundtrack from "Dance with Me" will give Americans a true passion for latin!

This CD is muy caliente!!.......1999-08-23

This CD is great if you are just starting a latin collection or just trying to add to it!! I am not a big fan of most remix CDs, but this one is hot, hot, hot!! It definitely gets you movin'!!!

Worth the money!.......1999-08-13

This CD has you moving from the beginning. Then it mellows you out at the end with the Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez Duo. One of the best remix albums I've bought. The only song missing is Bailamos by Enrique Iglesias. That song would have made this CD earn a 5 star rating from me!!

There's a better one out........1999-08-11

Ricky martin drives this one (yawn) and the mixes are just OK but if you want a Real HOT latin mix that just came out, get "Club Caliente" on EMI - it's even got an unreleased Selena dance track on it. And it was approved by the #1 Latin Music Magazine - Latin Beat magazine.

Another cracking set of mixes by Carlos Campos.......2006-10-31

After hearing Barrio Latino Paris I went straight out and bought each of the Barrio Latinos and went to great lengths to get them. And they're all exceptional collections of music. Carlos Campos simply has exquisite taste in Latin music, yet more than that he's managed to arrange these CDs into a series of consistently high quality mixes, which is quite an art. This is something I find many DJs are not able to do when creating mix CDs, they have a few good tracks but as a whole piece often they're often mising something. Not here! This is track selection and mixing at its finest.

Personally, Barrio Latino Paris (sometimes called Barrio Latino 4) is my favourite, however, all of the Barrio Latinos are of such an exceptionally high standard that I'd hesitate in recommending one over the other. Some of the individual Barrio Latino discs discs are chilled, others are dance, and I do mean DANCE!

Again, the second CD of Barrio Latino II simply ROCKS, with a really upbeat continuous dance mix. It's funky, jazzy, hip, bootie shaking, foot tapping, dance music. The first CD is more relaxed, a solid collection of more down-tempo tunes, though upbeat at times, great for kicking back to.

This is latin dance mmusic at its best. If you like Latin, dance, Buddha Bar, or George V records, grab each of the Barrio Latinos while you can.

Makes you move!.......2001-10-25

A nice mix of brazil and latin based beats. Classic styles and Contemporary club styles: Classic, hip, jazzy, and soul-full. Brazilian, Salsa, Merengue, Cuban, Hatian, etc... a nice balance of instrumental pieces and vocals. The first CD 'Sabroso' warms me up with classic styles, while the second CD 'Ardiente' just makes me get up and shake it with remixes. If you like a diversity of different types of Latin vibes from classic untouched pieces to ones mixed with acid jazz and club music, then you will like this album. This is a fun and tasteful mix.

This CD and Greatest Hits Vol. 1 are must-haves for anyone who likes latin music. This is the absolute best of the best in terms of salsa, with richness and depth, in addition to being 110% danceable. Their music is fun yet moody, topics range from silly to grave, and their sheer versatility is shocking. I am just not conveying how absolutely wonderful this band is. If you have ever liked classic rock, you will find something to like in Fruko, and if you are a salsa fan you will find your repetoire incomplete without this band.

ANOTHER CLASSIC.......2006-12-08

DANCE MANIA VOLUME 2 IS JUST AS GOOD AS VOLUME 1. AND THIS CD VERSION INCLUDES TWO BONUS TRACKS AS WELL! THIS IS CLASSIC STUFF FROM THE MASTER, TITO PUENTE, RECORDED IN NYC, 1960. THIS CD WILL DEFINITELY MAKE YOU WANT TO GET UP AND DANCE!

"Dance Mania" Again.......2003-09-20

After years of looking through CD bins in search of this title, and only coming up with the commonplace "Volume 1," I was delighted to see that Tito Puente's "Dance Mania Volume 2" had finally been reissued. Well it certainly was worth the wait because now it's available at a budget price to boot! Both of the "Dance Mania" Volumes are an essential look at the classic Afro-Cuban music of late 1950s and early 1960s. "Volume 2" boasts classic cuts like "A Gozar Timbero," "Guancona," "Separala Tambien" and "Baila Como Es." You have to be dead not to feel this multi-layered rhythmic groove, but the musicianship of Tito Puente and His Orchestra is also spectacular, so it appeals to both your mind and body. You'll be dancing in the streets after purchasing "Dance Mania Volume 2."
