El junte es excelente, me encanta escuchar el CD y el DVD todavia mas hermoso pues puedo ver a los musicos en vivo. Felicidades a todos.             Buena Vista Social Club329 reviews Ry Cooder, Ibrahim Ferrar, ... Nonesuch, 1997 The Holy Grail of Cuban Son Imagine that a tropical island lies less than 100 miles from the coast of Florida. Imagine that on this island live the Spanish equivalents of Nat King Cole, Duke Ellington, Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald and Chuck Berry. Imagine that 40 years ago this island nation was taken over by a militant dictator and that these musicians were not heard outside of their island for decades. You don't ...             Buena Vista Social Club At Carnegie Hall(2 CD)17 reviews Buena Vista Social Club Nonesuch, 2008 Ultimate in Latin music The Buena Vista Social Club creates a musical experience that transcends time and place. They are icons of Latin music. If you are already a fan, this is a must have cd set for the event's historical value. For new listeners, BVSC is not for those seeking the pulsing beats of modern salsa. The rhythms and vocals of this cd are slower paced, smooth and sensual. The music still captures and ...             Buena Vista Social Club Presents Ibrahim Ferrer111 reviews Ibrahim Ferrer Nonesuch, 1999 Ibrahim Ferrer We first saw him in the independent film about the Buena Vista Social Club musicians and fell in love with this gentle man. His vocals are sweet and spicy if you enjoy latin music buy it! You will love it!             Cuba22 reviews Various Artists Putumayo World Music, 1999 I love this music series Cuba is one more in a line of very good CD's that make you want to dance in your car. I spend a lot of time in the Caribbean and everyone envies my music collection.             Arrasando2 reviews Juan Formell y Los Van Van Sony International, 2009 EL SONIDO VAN VAN........... CUANDO EN CUALQUIER RAMA DEL ARTE, EN ESTE CASO EN LA MUSICA ...SE CREA UNA PERSONALIDAD , UN ESTILO INCONFUNDIBLE UN SONIDO UNICO, TE CONVIERTES EN UNA INSTITUCION , COMO LO SON EL GRAN COMBO Y LA SONORA PONCEñA EN PUERTO RICO. PERO ESTO NO ES GRATIS....SON MUCHOS AñOS DE TRABAJO JUNTOS. EN ESTA LABOR, JUAN.. PONE UNO DE SUS MEJORES ALBUMES EN LA CALLE. CREO QUE ES LA PRODUCCION DONDE MAS ...             Juntos Para Siempre Bebo Valdes, Chucho Valdes Red Int / Red Ink, 2009             The Lost City30 reviews Andy Garcia Univision Music Grp, 2007 Execellent CD if you like Cuban Music - Bonus CD included If you liked the movie and the music in the movie, you will love this CD. It contains music from Andy Garcia and classic Cuban musicians like Chocolate and Cachao. It provides great party background music.             Rhythms del Mundo: Cuba44 reviews Various Artists Hip-O Records, 2006 FANTASTIC SALSA CD OF SONGS YOU WOULDN'T EXPECT This is a must-own CD from Buena Vista Social Club. Mainstream rock, pop, and alternative redone in Salsa. My favorites are Buena Vista's version of Coldplay song and of U2. You will not be disappointed.             A Toda Cuba Le Gusta48 reviews Afro-Cuban All Stars Nonesuch, 1997 MUST HAVE! You cannot even claim to have a collection without THIS! Brilliant! Beyond brilliant!!             Audioslave: Live in Cuba (with Bonus CD)57 reviews Chris Cornell, Tim Commerford Sony, 2005 Great for Audioslave fans This is a great concert for Audioslave fans. They are one of my favorite bands, and this is a great concert. Audioslave plays a set of around two hours. The set is great, but Chris Cornell cannot sing Rage Against the Machine songs. Fortunately, he only attempts one. I do wish the DVD was in 5.1. This might be a big issue for some, but I can live with it. I was disappointed by the bonus CD, ...             300 Years of Guitar Masterpieces15 reviews Isaac Albeniz, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Vox (Classical), 1992 Exquisite I was browsing Amazon, shopping for gifts, and when I listened to the snippets of this, I couldn't resist ordering it for myself. It's a 3CD set of beautiful, varied music played by a brilliantly skilled and sensitive master. Barrueco has an extraordinary touch that seems perfect for each piece, from Bach to Paganini to Villa-Lobos. Anyone who likes classical guitar would treasure this set.             Live At The Village Vanguard6 reviews Bebo Valdes & Javier Colina Sony International, 2008 Great Cuban fun This is Bebo, well, at his seemingly never ending prime. And the dance between he and bassist Javier Colina is the dance of two who anticipate and never overtake. I have only one disappointment in the album, which is superbly recorded, by the way, and that is that I was not at the Vanguard that night. Superb.             Avatar6 reviews Gonzalo Rubalcaba Blue Note Records, 2008 a cooker! This is one of the very best recent releases I've heard in the past year. I admire everything from Gonzalo, but some of it's hard work for me. This one is fun, in addition to being impressive. It's got the kind of fire that I loved in Hubbard's best playing. It reminds me in places of the kind of post-bop/hard bop/progressive jazz Herbie Hancock was doing on Blue Note in the 60s and more ...             Distinto Diferente13 reviews Afro-Cuban All Stars Nonesuch, 1999 Hot, Spicy, Fun! This music is absolutely addicting! Great to listen to while whipping up dinner or whatever else. However, DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS WHILE DRIVING! You won't be able to sit still and you and your car will be dancing all over the road. I can't wait to hear more from this very talented, sexy, and lively bunch!             90 Millas36 reviews Gloria Estefan Sony International, 2007 I get accused of only reviewing.......... ....albums by gorgeous blondes. That isn't true, but here it would only be half-true; Gloria isn't blonde. This is an absolutely great album by a singer who proved her worth long ago; I don't know that she's ever sung a bad note..... This album of what, to me, were unknown songs will appeal to two fan bases; [1] fans of Gloria [2] fans of Cuban music, of which we have plenty, as Cuba is only ...             Blanco Y Negro: En Vivo14 reviews Bebo & Cigala RCA Victor Group, 2005 Outstanding concert I first saw a clip from this concert on YOUTUBE and was hooked on the music...the DVD is consistantly wonderful. Both artists are superb!             Putumayo Presents: Cafe Cubano7 reviews Various Artists Putumayo World Music, 2008 A Musical Mojito Putumayo's "Cafe Cubano" is the latest in the world music's cafe series,and so far,the best. While Italian&French Cafe are bland collections, the Cuban one is a savory blend of old and new music. The compilation is like a mojito-a cold limeade with the extra kick of rum. There's even a recipe--a mojito dipping sauce made with lime,lemon&orange juices. "Cafe Cubano" opens with Jose Conde y Ola ...             Buena Vista Social Club Presents Omara Portuondo37 reviews Omara Portuondo Nonesuch, 2000 Omara Sears my Synapses. Let her Blister yours, too.. Euphoria. Endorphin overload. Shake yourself a martini or something equally svelte, put this on, find the divan on the patio and just let all gringo unpleasantness evaporate into the Habana infused dusk. This is the best of all the Buena Vista Social Club productions, IMAO. And whatever that woman up in one of the featured reviews means in saying that this music isn't danceable, I have ...             Buena Vista Social Club Presents: Manuel Guajiro Mirabal9 reviews Manuel "El Guajiro" Mirabal Nonesuch, 2005 ¡Perfeccion musical! Esta grabacion de "El Guajiro" Mirabal es maravillosa. Los arreglos y la interpretacion de los musicos y sus cantantes es de primer orden. La calidad del sonido es asombrosa, especialmente en el sonido de los vientos y del cuero de las tumbadoras; un deleite para los oidos amantes de la buena musica. ¡BRAVO!!              search for popular music arrasando, audioslave, avatar, blanco, carnegie, cubano, diferente, distinto, ferrer, guajiro, guitar, gusta, ibrahim, juntos, lagrimas, manuel, masterpieces, millas, mirabal, negras, negro, omara, portuondo, presents, putumayo, rhythms, siempre, social, vanguard, village popular music:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
