Compas

Amazon.com essential recording
On 1997's Compas the Gipsy Kings stretched out into new traditional sounds while adroitly maintaining their patented pop blend. During the Gypsy people's centuries of wandering, they picked up a mosaic of musical influences on the road and made them their own. To reflect this historical development in music, two Egyptian musicians, Hossam Ramzy (percussion) and Abud Abdel Al (violin), add Middle Eastern embellishments to the guitar-driven mix. The Brazilian percussion master Nana Vasconcelos also sits in, as does Shawn Farrenden on didgeridoo. The sole sour note is the inclusion of the Italian chestnut "Funiculi Funicula", which lowers the tone but which will no doubt delight restaurateurs. --Christina Roden

Good background music!.......2007-06-27

One of the perfect CDs to play in the background of a party...or when I'm just cleaning the house.

Great rocking music to drive to.......2007-06-08

I love this CD - like a lot of Putumayo recordings, it just makes me feel good when I hear the various sounds and rhythms. I love music from around the world. I have played it many many times when I'm doing errands around town and when I'm on the backroads. Anyone should like it who likes to travel and experience new places, new sounds and diverse flavors of life.

A Fun Exciting Album.......2007-05-20

I alwasy take time to get used to a Putumayo album and this was no exception. I was disappointed at first after the first song but then took to the music. I find Putumayo an exciting musical experience.

A fair CD.......2007-05-19

The first song in this album is marvellous, while others just so so which is really a pity. I decided to buy it when I heard the first song but gave up afterwards.

A breath of fresh air.......2007-01-21

Uplifting and exotic. A great compilation with a beat!

fabulous!.......2005-03-10

Standard French Caribbean music, all with a great beat! I play it in my high school French classes that I teach, and the teens love it too!

One of Putumayo's Best.......2004-11-21

An easy-going mix of biguine, merengue-ish extremely enjoyable tunes that get your feet moving. Five of the songs (half the album!) are among my all-time French Caribbean faves, and there are no dogs. You can't help smiling during "Parfum des Isles, a good-natured instrumental. The live Kassav cut, OK but not one of their best, is the only true driving zouk on the cd. The rest are more laid-back, but rhythmically more interesting and appealing, with an almost Brazilian feel. The four of us at work all love this cd, and it has held up well after repeated listenings. We recommend it highly.

A fine sampler of Franco-Caribbean musical styles.......2004-02-07

A nice, smooth set of modern pop songs drawn from the French-speaking islands of Guadeloupe, Haiti and Martinique, lingering on the more tuneful and diverse end of the Caribbean musical spectrum. For someone like myself, who quickly tired of the manic, monotonous landslide of "soca" and "zouk" records during the 1980s, this disc came as a pleasant surprise. It's very listenable and engaging, a nice selection for someone looking for some accessible, poppish world music.

The Ars subtileor rules........2006-11-21

Even though the title is a slight misnomer as more than half of the tracks are post-ars subtileor, this is an absolutely marvellous CD. Starting with Philipoctus de Caserta (ca.1370) and ending with Antoine Busnoys (d.1492), this CD surveys some of the best polyphonic secular and sacred music of the post-Ars nova Middle Ages.
The pieces are superbly performed by some of the very best early musicians of our day including the Orlando Consort, Ensemble organum and the Hilliard Ensemble. I highly recommend this CD for pleasure or instruction.

Gipsy Kings, typical Gipsy kings.......2001-08-04

I find that this album is like ALL the Gipsy Kings albums; very the same material over and over. All Rumbas; over and over. I dont think they reflect true flamenco at all; as they play the same music over and over; do not do soleares; sevillanas etc; if you are a fan of modern jazzy flamenco then you will most likely like this; if you are more of the Carlos Montoya type, forget it and save your money for more authentic music...

Compas.......2001-06-17

Compas is another excellent Album from the famous Gipsy Kings. It is a little different from the other albums but don't get me wrong, it is still a very good one. It must be their most inventive album ever and their most atmospheral one. Standout tracks are: Ami Wa Wa (Solar Por Ti), La Fiesta Comenza, Canto A Brazil, Mi Nino and the beautiful Di Me. The instumental tracks are all brilliant. This album is very recommended, for every one.

Takes you to Spain without the airfare!.......1999-11-17

I am a diehard GK fan! I fell in love with them after hearing "Bamboleo". I think they are a fantastic group to introduce the world to Latin music. After hearing just one song, you will fall in love with the ancient gypsy and arabic sounds that are blended with classic instruments. The big plus is the voice of Nick Reyes who is sometimes hard and unstoppable, making you feel the pain of loss or the smooth sensuous voice that makes you feel the passion of love. Their music reflects the landscape of Spain and its history. I visited Spain in February and heard their music many times on the radio. When I want to remember my great time in Spain, I listen to the Gypsy Kings.

Not worth the money unless you're a diehard fan.......1999-10-24

I'm mystified by Amazon's decision to list this as one of the group's Essential Recordings. It's definitely the weakest of the bunch, although a couple of the songs are OK. If you want the flamenco rhythms the Gipsy Kings are known for, I prefer Love and Liberte, but any of the other albums are better than this one. If you want unplugged sound, try Allegria; if you want the middle eastern-Moorish musical influence, Mosaique is far superior.

Simply wonderful.......1999-05-24

Yes, this album is simply wonderful, though it won't tell you much at first audition (except of course, for Solo Por Ti and Mira La Itana Mora). Now that I have it, I really feel ready to live. Technically, it's perfect, as Gipsy Kings songs always are. Absolutely superb music, once again! Interesting thing about Gipsy Kings - you can't tell why you like it, since your heart is the one in charge.

Excellent, but What Are the Words?.......2006-07-04

This is a wonderful collection of music spanning many centuries, some of which you are unlikely to encounter anywhere else. The performances are beautiful, too. The one drawback is that the liner notes contain very few song text translations, a big problem for a large CD set with music that is primarily vocal.

outstanding collection.......2002-09-27

I have quite a number of CDs with Medieval Age polyphony, byzantine chant and renaissance music, but this collection goes beyond what could usually be expected from such boxsets. I'd highly recommend it to all.

Awesome.......2001-09-20

This is the best collection of medieval music I have ever heard. The performances are top-notch, and all of the songs are well done. I highly reccomend this collection not only for fans of medieval music, but for any music lover.

7.5 hours of superb music at a most reasonable price........1999-12-24

There isn't a clunker in this set. All the performers are top drawer and the recordings are good. The notes are a little brief and a bit scholarly, but can be ignored easily.

You will get an idea of the different kinds of medieval music as well as the top groups and soloists working currently in the field.

When I got this set, my mother and I listened to all 7+ hours straight through. We then started buying CDs from the different performers we had to hear more from.

At twice the price, this would still be an excellent addition to any classical or medieval music collection, as well as the best introduction to medieval music around.

A tango DJ's perspective ..........2005-12-02

A must have album for your tango music collection. This is some of the most romantic tango music of the early 40's. Great for dancing and listening.

Good flamenco roots in rock n' roll form.......2002-03-21

Great flamenco-based guitar work and some very catchy songwriting make for an excellent album that is far better than most anything being produced in the english-speaking music world at this time. There are two secret songs hidden past the last track on this album that are puro flamenco, para el aficionado del flamenco mas autentico. An enjoyable album that holds up well over multiple listens and does not grow stale at all.

Infusion of Fresh and New Flamenco Fusion.......2000-08-10

This latest CD by Los Martires Del Compas serves up emotions that are at the same time raw (vocals by Chico Ocana), bittersweet (guitars by Julio Revilla and Manuel Soto), and with salty longing (bass by Jesus Diaz Benjumea) all in a flamenco-tinged stew. The first song "Tu Hielo" ("Icy"), evokes an Andalusian sunset whose rays illuminate Moorish memories......[Sigh].

One of the best of a fine but still small number of discs featuring secular music of the late 14th century, this recording effectively captures the mood and spirit of an age that experienced the horrors of the Black Death, the Hundred Years War, the great papal schism, and the appearance of great literary works such as The Canterbury Tales and the poetry of Petrarch. Here the six members of Ensemble P.A.N. present 15 selections from the great manuscript known as the Chantilly Codex--a collection of sometimes mysterious, often complex, but always irresistibly beautiful songs and instrumental works. Whether performing a haunting, "bluesy" ballade, a passionate love song, or a mournful lament, the musicians' technical expertise and broad early music experience are always evident. By giving predominance to the music's basic ingredients--melody, rhythm, and poetic texts--Ensemble P.A.N. brings to these ancient pieces a welcome vitality and immediacy that leaves us wanting more. --David Vernier
