Mi Tierra

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com essential recording
Cuban American singer Gloria Estefan was a mainstream pop balladeer and dance music queen who happened to be Latina before taking a surprising turn in Mi Tierra and reclaiming her roots. Singing in Spanish, impeccably produced and backed by a superb ensemble that includes 79-year-old maestro Israel Lopez "Cachao" on bass (he is only the creator of mambo itself), arranger Juanito Marquez, and singer and percussionst Luis Enrique, Estefan delivers worthy reinterpretations and updates of traditional Afro-Cuban styles. It might be too smooth for traditionalists--who may also object to Estefan's delivery, not that of classic sonera--but as an introduction to the music, it is engaging and the playing of the ensemble is true and impeccable. --Fernando Gonzalez

5 out of 5 stars ODA A LA TIERRA QUERIDA.......2007-05-06

Ningun disco ha sido un homenaje mas precioso a la tierra donde uno ha nacido como este grandioso disco de Gloria; cada vez que lo escucho siento como mis raices latinas se estremecen en mi ser y me hace amar mas la tierra donde yo he nacido y donde deseo que Dios me conceda morir... desde la nostalgica CON LOS AÑOS QUE ME QUEDAN, la evocadora MI TIERRA, las baladas romanticas como MI BUEN AMOR, VOLVERAS, lamentos caribeños como HABLAS DE MI, ritmos tan tipicos latinos como SI SENOR y TRADICION, la inspiradora NO HAY MAL QUE POR BIEN NO VENGA... este es un disco para nunca olvidar nuestras raices y seguir conservando nuestro patrimonio...¡Y QUE SIGA LA TRADICION!!!

5 out of 5 stars A perfect album! Definnitely on my top 5 desert island list........2007-01-21

I said it all in the title. This album is great.

5 out of 5 stars the pinnacle of an artistic career.......2007-01-03

This is the sound of a brilliant career reaching its apex. Unless Gloria Estefan surprises us with a turn no one could anticipate, MI TIERRA will go down as the best music she ever produced.

That's no small statement, since Ms. Estefan has been wowing fans with one top-selling album after another from back in the days of the Miami Sound Machine.

I first came to know Gloria as a Latin singer while I was living in Latin America. Only subsequently did I become fully exposed to her English-language pop persona. Though Gloria was only two when her family emigrated to the US from Cuba and is therefore fully bilingual and bicultural, my opinion has always been that she excels when performing in Spanish.

MI TIERRA may well prove the point.

Backed up by rhythm and sound of astonishing consistency, Gloria sings a dozen winners (that's twelve out of twelve) on this CD despite some daring and unconventional moves ('Montuno' and 'Tradición').

Surprisingly, her opening gambit ('Con los años que me quedan') got the lion's share of this album's air time in spite of it not being the strongest piece of the puzzle. The gem among the dozen is 'Mi Tierra', which I believe to be the most poignant musical statement of the emigrant's dilemma ever peformed. There is a moment in this song when, amidst the nostalgic description of old Habana's streets and alleys, Ms. Estefan asks, 'Can I ever go back there? ... *Yo no sé*' (= 'I don't know'). The three-syllable staccato of her ambiguous reply touches every emigrant's secret knowledge that you can never truly go back to where you came from. Her unexpected response to a self-posed question leaps out and grabs you by the throat. It is one of Gloria's finest moments and a hypothetical pickle that events in her native land may soon give her an opportunity to confirm or refute.

'No hay mal que por bien no venga' projects the Latin American spunk and survivability that make it a region to grow old in with a smile.

Estefan has never had the pure horsepower of Latin stalwarts like, say, the late Celia Cruz. But whatever she has lacked in natural talent has been more than compensated by the class, consistency, and good public citizenship that she has exercised now into the stage of mature motherhood.

I hope she exceeds MI TIERRA. But I can't imagine it happening.

5 out of 5 stars I Forgot How Good This Was.......2006-09-06

I'm not a big Gloria Estefan fan. She has some good songs and makes, at best, average albums. Gloria was always a singles artist to me, but this is pure delight from beginning to end. Great production and you feel Gloria Estefan put 100% into this. Great latin songs and the liner notes are great for interpretation and explanation.

If you get any Gloria Estefan album this is it.

5 out of 5 stars CLASSIC.......a great additon in latin music history!!.......2006-02-16

I'm not a fan of Gloria Estafan's pop/english music, but I was so impressed the first time I heard this when it was releasad and it still is as incredible.

Not only is each song great, but they really raised the bar for production in latin music. The sound is stellar. I'm sure the fact that Ms. Estefan chose to work with the best musicians in the business helped.

Do not even think twice....buy this album and you will not be dissapointed.

Colombian singer Carlos Vives continues his exploration of the sounds of his homeland on El Amor de Mi Tierra, a lush collection that also includes rumba, cumbia, and Caribbean rhythms anchored by an earthy, folksy flavor. Vives, a former television actor, polishes it with a glowing pop sheen, thanks to solid production from Latin-music mogul Emilio Estefan. The pair work wonderfully together on tracks such as "Tu Amor Eterno," "El Cante," "La Receta," and especially "Fruta Fresca," a desperately romantic moment that has become Vives's biggest radio hit. Vocally, Vives keeps his delivery suitably grounded, working within the infectious rhythms of the music instead of fighting against it or struggling to remain on top. It makes for a consistently engaging, refreshingly uncomplicated musical experience. --Joey Guerra

3 out of 5 stars Mediocre.......2003-12-20

This cd was just ok, it has some amazing songs like "Fruta Fresca" but i've he has better cds.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Spiritual Music from Colombia.......2003-11-23

Like many Colombians, I've known about Carlos Vives from his days of Clasicos de la Provincia in 1993. Vives takes provincial music from Colombia (vallenato and cumbia, among numerous others) and infuses them with a spirituality and depth that makes the music all the more worthy. El Amore De Mi Tierra is no different. Vives pulls from various fountains of Colombian music and turns them into flowing, rhythmic world music that is accessable to all peoples. The collection here is very good. While "Fruta Fresca" is the track that most people are familiar with, "La Piragua" is definately the best track on the album. An update of a classic Colombian cumbia song, Vives's take on "La Piragua" turns the song into a lush fable full of earthy melodies and a spirit of the Amazon without forskaing the song's musical roots. For those who are new to Carlos Vives, this album is a great place to start.

5 out of 5 stars Great Album.......2003-10-20

I first heard this record when I was in Colombia about 3 years ago and have subsequently bought the CD 6 times. Every visitor from the US or UK who hears it asks me about it and I usually end up giving it away.
Knowing Spanish will help you enjoy this more - but even without it, the rythm of the music feeds into you.
I own several of CVivas's CDs, but keep coming back to this one.

3 out of 5 stars Buena Letra. . . Pero . . ........2002-12-25

(Que me perdonen la falta de acentos. Estoy usando editor ingles.)

Compre El Amor De Mi Tierra porque me gusto mucho Clasicos de La Provincia. Aparte, aca la cancion "Fruita Fresca," habia pegado muy fuerte y queria oir el resto del CD

Senti un poquito desilusionada con my compra. Abajo veras porque:

La Letra

La letra de la mayoria de las canciones es lindo, impactante, memorable.

Peero . . .

La Voz De Carlos Vives

Ok, se que todas sus fanaticas me van a matar, pero no creo que el canta especialmente bien. No se si el fuma, pero si SI, debe de dejarlo.

La Musica

Opino que los musicos son las verdaderas estrellas de Amor de Mi Tierra. Me encanta el acordeon y los arreglos son buenos.

La Mejor Cancion

No puedo explicar exactamente porque no me gustaban la mayoria de las canciones. Una que SI me encanto era 19 de Noviembre. Es excelente, bailable, buena letra. Tiene de todo.

En fin. Si eres super super fanatica de Carlos Vives, comprate este disco! Si no, pues, ahorrate los 15 dolares.

Aparte, quisiera ver mas musica de distintas artistas Colombianas--especialmente algunas caras negras. Shakira y Carlos son OK, pero son los unicos en Colombia que saben cantar?

5 out of 5 stars Cuento Dulce that Cooks!!.......2002-08-02

Carlos, you had me at the cover art to this CD! You didn't have to sing about wanting to be my mouth-exploding Caramelo that also melts in my hands!

A pretty face will catch one's eye, but this guy has got the audio thing going on too. He sings in that lovely Colombian accent that tends to drop final consonants, as if they were extraneous candy wrappers ("honey, just throw those dirty candy wrappers out of the bus window"). All of this over a lilting Afro-Caribe beat, you know, the one Paul Simon wrested for "Graceland" and "Rythym of the Saints". But this is home-cooked Vallenato, leg/hip candy at its finest.

High boiling point, hard-ball confectionry. Um, um, um.

5 out of 5 stars One of the finest prog albums I've heard from Spain.......2007-06-05

Mezquita was a prog rock band from Spain that managed two albums, 1979's Recuerdo de mi Tierra and 1981's Califas del Rock. But it's Recuerdos de mi Tierra (released on the Chapa label, same label that gave us Crack's Si Todo Hiciera) that their reputation rests on (their second album, which I hadn't heard, is largely ignored, and apparently not very good). It's really hard to believe there's still room for great prog in 1979, but then this was Spain, having some catch up work (their prog scene didn't really take off until 1975), and Mezquita was that prime example of great prog being done in an era where much of the rest of Europe and North America were caught up in punk, disco, and new wave.

This was a group that included lots of ethnic influences in their prog, flamenco being the obvious one (I really think their brand of flamenco prog blows Triana right out of the water), with some North African influences. Lots of great guitar and keyboard interplay, keyboards including Hammond organ and Moog or ARP (I believe), and I swear I might hear some Mellotron (can't tell), but what I do know is real strings are used on some of the cuts. The vocals are often not unlike Triana's Jesus de la Rosa, meaning in that typical dramatic Spanish style typical of flamenco, so it's really an acquired taste, but I had no problem adapting to the vocals here. There's no mistaking where this album came from, that is Spain. Since 1979 wasn't exactly a good year for prog, this is probably one of the finest I've heard from that year. If you enjoy prog with that unique Spanish touch, you can't go wrong with this album!

5 out of 5 stars excellent album.......2007-04-10

Excellent album of Spanish progressive rock Flamingo style guitar. Overall is reminiscent of Italian prog, but has a unique flavor. Fairly typical lineup of guitar, keyboards, drums and bass. Songs have a melody that stays with you. If you like Italian prog, you should enjoy this. Recommend highly

5 out of 5 stars HIS BEST RECORDINGS ARE ON THIS DISC!.......2005-01-12

MIGUEL FLETA IS THE MOST INTERESTING TENOR I HAVE EVER HEARD. I ENJOY HIS ART FROM TIME TO TIME.

THE FIRST FIVE SELECTIONS ON THIS DISC CAPTURE HIS 18TH-19TH CENTURY VOCAL TECHNIQUE (later named bel canto)AT ITS BEST AND IT ENABLES HIM TO VARY NOT ONLY HIS DYNAMIC RANGE IN EXTREMES BUT ALSO HIS TONAL COLOR. HE HAS ASTOUNDING AGILITY. HE HAS A VERY LARGE VOICE STRONG ON THE TOP AND THE BOTTOM. HOWEVER, WHEN HE SINGS VERISMO AND FORTE, HE LOSES SOLIDITY AND INTONATION.

IT SEEMS THAT HE DID NOT PERFECT THE BEL CANTO TECHNIQUE WITH REGARD TO BREATHING AND HIS FABLED PIANI AND DIMINUENDI OFTEN SWITCH REGISTERS AUDIBLY AND WOBBLE THEIR WAY HOME. YET HE SINGS WITH GREAT HEART AND AFFECTINGLY.

      5 out of 5 stars A simply wonderful singer and a fine album.......2005-09-22

      4 1/2**

      Milly Quezada deserves the over used title "Queen of Merenque", because her singing is technically about the best that is out there in the Latin singing world, and expressively, has few rivals. She has always shown herself to be extremely versatile in how she shades different styles of merengue and occupies the unique essence of every song.

      Now Milly shows us that her way with bachata is at least as impressive, even more so. There is nothing more you could ask for in her wonderful phrasing, varied timbre, and perfect vocal delivery.

      Manuel Tejada has provided us with superb arrangements, even by his amazing standards. The first four songs are really wonderful, from the plaintive "Penas", to the the ingratiating duet "Pideme", the delightful "Que se Mueren de Envida" and the lovely "Mesita de Noche." The next three songs are not quite in the class, but still very fine. There is also a Juan Luis Guerra song, and in no way does she copy his singing - she puts her own stamp on it, as does Tejada.

      There follows a merengue Pideme, which is a nice variation, tho less good than the bachata. The merengue Un Nuevo Amor, is the least interesting track on the CD. I would have liked to have seen one or two more bachatas on this CD - with two "version" cuts, 10 tracks is a little slim, and the CD comes to a less important conclusion than I would like.

      Despite this criticism, Tresoros de Mi Tierra is a must-have.

      5 out of 5 stars Obra Maestra.......2003-06-30

      El disco es completamente bueno desde la primera cancion hasta la ultima. No dudaba que Milly hiciera un trabajo asi, pero es un trabajo musical increible. El arreglo, la combinacion de voces. De esta produccion clasifico como la canciones sobresalientes son: Pideme, Que Se Mueran De Envidia, Mesita De Noche, Dos Rosas, Antologia De Caricias, Un Nuevo Amor.

      5 out of 5 stars MARAVILLOSO!.......2000-11-29

      Este CD es increiblemente bueno. La "Reina Del Merengue" por fin grabo un disco de bachatas. Esta maravillosa produccion estuvo a cargo del maestro Manuel Tejada, para SONY. Una excelente variedad de romanticas bachatas que con la voz unica de Milly Quezada lo hacen un exito. Los mejores temas del disco lo son "Que Se Mueran De Envidia", "Pideme" (a duo con Fernandito Villalona), "Mesita De Noche", "Antologia De Caricias" y "Un Nuevo Amor". El disco tambien inluye el tema "Burbujas De Amor" del gran Juan Luis Guerra. Pero la REINA no se podia quedar sin incluir merengue en este disco "Tesoros De Mi Tierra", por tal razon se incluyeron las versiones en merengue de los temas "Un Nuevo Amor" y "Pideme" (a duo con Miguel Vasquez). Todos los temas estan excelentes y tienen unos arreglos unicos. Sinceramente Milly Quezada tiene voz para cantar de todo...merengue, balada, bachata, salsa y todo lo que se llame musica. Cuando hay talento y una voz como la de Milly todo es posible.

      Tambien recomiendo el CD de la que a mi opinion sera la nueva "Reina De La Musica Tropical"...Jessica Cristina titulado "Pasional". Asi que si a ti como a mi te gusta Milly Quezada, te encantara Jessica Cristina. Te lo recomiendo.

      Aqui hay algunas recomendaciones de otros discos de bachata: "Bachata Rosa" de Juan Luis Guerra, "Decidida" de Sonya Cortes, "Unplugged" de Monchy & Alexandra y "Corazon De Bachata" de Juan Manuel.

      5 out of 5 stars Simply Brilliant!.......2000-06-06

      Milly Quezada is an excellent singer and her fans say that she's the Queen of the Merengue. In this time, we have a new album, but we can see that eight of the ten tracks are "bachatas", another dominican rhythm. Instead of that, Milly has given us a brilliant production, with beautiful songs, excellent arrangements and her unforgetable cheerful voice, plenty of sense and power.

      5 out of 5 stars Great album for children learning Spanish.......2001-08-20

      Classic American children's songs (Old MacDonald, Hokey Pokey, This Land is Your Land, etc.) Orozco first sings the song in Spanish, then in English. Well sung and lots of fun!
