Loca

Amazon.com
Simone Bittencourt de Oliveira, better known as Simone, is one of the great vocalists in Brazilian popular music the past 25 years. She has an extraordinary instrument--a deep, rich alto voice that exudes sensuality--and knows how to use it, especially in her ballads. She can wring out meaning of a line with a hesitation, the shading of a word, a discreet change in dynamics. Much of this is missing in the unsatisfying Loca, Simone's tribute to Spanish crooner Julio Iglesias. Blame some of it on language. This is her fifth release in Spanish (the 26th overall of her career). She has done great things with lesser songs than "Abrazame" (sung with Rafael Basurto of Trio Los Panchos) or "Lo Mejor de Tu Vida"--but singing in Portuguese. More troubling, the choice of material and the arranging, does not help her. She salvages "Mi Amor," a banal Spanish language version of Stevie Wonder's "My Love," despite the superfluous participation of Mexican singer Daniela Romo. But there is not much she can do with "Hey" or the faux flamenco of "Jurame" and "La Nave del Olvido." Simone is a rare talent and having her sing in Spanish has artistic and commercial merit--but it doesn't mean any concept, any song, any arrangement will do. --Fernando Gonzalez

Congo-born, Los Angeles-based singer-composer-bandleader Lemvo has been mixing the guitar-driven form of rumba he heard growing up in his homeland's capital city of Kinshasa, with its Cuban forebears--five-centuries-worth of Spanish melodies mixed with African rhythms--for a very long time. For his fifth album, which is named for his newborn daughter, he has wisely concluded that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." The result is a deliriously joyous batch of bold-and-brassy, accordion-laced, percussive, sinfully melodic hip-swingers sung in several languages, but not only in the expected Congolese Lingala dialect, French and Spanish. For example, "Serenata Angolana," with sultry second lead vocals by Cape Verdean star Maria De Barros, is interpreted in Portuguese as a tribute to Lemvo's Angolese grandfather. But "Elebette," while transformed into a slinky bolero, is performed in the original Turkish. If "Malambo," written by the late, great Franco Luambo, and Tino Baroza's '50s-vintage "Lollobigida" constitute a return to the old nabe, "Mentirosa," with its gently propulsive charanga violins and flute, is more redolent of Havana by moonlight. Among the talent on hand, stand-outs include legends like guitarists Papa Noel, Bopol and Huit Kilos, singers Nyboma and Wuta Mayi, and bassist Miguel Yamba, but this is to name only a few. Fans of Africando and Kékélé should definitely snap this one up. --Christina Roden

Beautiful music to my ears............2007-06-24

I had heard bits and pieces of Ricardo Lemvo and Makina Loca in the past, but I had never really taken the time to listen to and appreciate their distinctive style(s) and the authentic touch they give to African salsa (Lemvo is from Democratic Republic of the Congo) as well as the other genres they play (boogaloo, son, kizomba, rumba, and bolero, among others). Their style is reminiscent of Africando, another wonderful band made up of a cross-section of very diverse musicians (from Mali and Cuba, just to name a couple of countries). The songs on this album are in Spanish, Lingala, Kikongo, Swahili, Portuguese, and Turkish [yes, I said Turkish]. Never have so many languages and types of music (and rhythms) melded so beautifully together.

Though, I was really a great fan of salsa music, and enjoyed learning about different styles, that isn't the limit of my musical scope and interest. This album starts out with the style of boogaloo, with "Kasongo Boogaloo." It's peppy and is modelled after the boogaloo music that originated in the Nuyoriquen (New York Puerto Rican) communities. Yet, it sounds different. What makes it so distinctive? Lemvo mixes the languages of Spanish and Lingala together, and the percussion sounds more rootbound to the African origins of Latin music styles we have come to know today. It has a great, earthy and organic feel. I also highly reccomend the beautiful boleros and heavenly ballad featured on the album ("Habari Yako," "Elbette," and "Serenata Angolana"). This album is gorgeous, people. If you haven't heard of Ricardo Lemvo and Makina Loca up until now, you will be a convert to their musical repertoire after listening to these beautiful songs.

Don't waste your time, this is a must !!!!!!!.......2002-01-25

For anybody who loves Salsa or African music. This guy is unbelievable, an African that can sing Salsa better than any South American ! it's impossible ! You better believe it !
This Salsa is also fused with African influences, as many of the songs end in La Rumba Congolaise style, with beautiful guitar playing and melodies.Also his band Makina Loca (Crazy Machine) has a very talented versatile Cuban arranger in Nino Jesus.
Believe me this guy is not real, he is completely unique ! I am still waiting for his next CD !

A must-have for lovers of Congolese or Cuban music!.......1999-10-26

This CD presents a magnificent, seamless blend of dance-able Cuban and Congolese sounds (leaning a little more towards the Cuban on most tracks). From the stellar guitar work of Cameroonian guitarist Louis Wasson to the lively flute work of Nino Jesus Alejandro, this album never ceases to please and amaze. Blazing congas, powerful horns, fantastic guitars, and soulful vocals make this music come alive and will get your feet moving!

thsi music is full of fire and passion. that cant be matched.......1998-10-08

the music that is presented in this amazing cd is filled with a full spectrum of various cultures. Ranging from hot latin beats to african high-life. This multi-cultural cd will most definately appeal to many walks of life. The name of the cd is Tata Masamba. Alone that song will surely go platinum. Ricardo is a multi lingual artist and excells at grasping the attention of the different societies of languages in which he blows his tune. I personally have been honored to have seen this group perform on many occaions. Not only do they sound great but they also put on an amazing and exciting show.

Ricardo Lemvo and Makina Loca's second outing echoes their reputation as one smoking live band. Congolese born, but schooled in Cuban music from an early age, Lemvo explores his two loves, Zairean Soukous and Cuban Son Montuno, creating an original blend aimed right in the middle. Singing in Lingala, Kikongo, and Spanish, and backed by a band with arrangements leaning towards Cuba, Lemvo's rich African baritone leads through a succession of songs rich in both cultures. The title track refers to the African "mambo" meaning trouble, event, or gathering. You'll be dancing the mambo all through this hard-swinging release full of delights for both Latin and African aficionados. --Derek Rath

Customer Reviews:

Quite simply magic, astounding, wonderful !.......2002-07-23

I think many of these reveiws are very subjective, however I hope this is a fair reveiw, that's my intention.
Ricardo Lemvo is a breath of fresh air in music, his music is so interesting because, although it is obviously Salsa, his African background, seeps through in both his singing and also the content of the music.
He really brings together a wonderful marriage of Salsa, and African music. This is particularly interesting because in the Congo he would have been brought up in a style of music called La Rumba Congolaise, which was heavily South American flavoured, and it is fascinating that he is now exporting part of this 'Rumba' back into South American music !
He sings from the heart, but it is a joyful melodic singing, his songs are uplifting, he makes you feel good, you feel happy when you listen to his music.
You can not beleive that he is from the Congo in Africa, because his Salsa, is very Cuban in style, however once you know that he is African, it becomes very obvious in his music.
I am from Britain and have been brought up on a diet of pop and rock, my favourites were Jimmi Hendricks, Led Zepplin, Peter Gabriel e.t.c.
Ricardo Lemvo is the equal of any of them, he is a great.
I have been fortunate enough to have seen Youssou N'dour in concert, and now my biggest ambition is to see Ricardo Lemvo.
Ricardo when's the next album coming out ?
When are you coming to Britain ?

Upbeat but overproduced.......2001-02-10

I love the mix of Cuban and African rhythms and styles and the music is upbeat throughout, so that's why I rated it fairly highly. It would make good background party music.

However, the CD doesn't compel me to get up and dance. It just doesn't have enough energy or spunk. I think the CD is overproduced, so these guys don't feel like they are having as much fun as they should be!

FANTASTIC!.......1999-05-24

Great show at the Conga Room in Los Angeles, Sunday 5.23.99. This is my entry to win an autographed CD. hope I'm one of the 10.

Afro-Cuban music with el espiritu de la pantera!.......1999-04-10

Ricardo Lemvo, a Congolese musician who sings in Spanish with an African flare, successfully achieves some truly great Afro-Cuban music with Makina Loca. I picked this up in Puerto Rico, where I was told it's all the rage in Cuba. The first two tracks are the most fun.

From Africa to Havana to Paris..........1999-02-27

The beauty of Latin music comes from the blend, the mixture of African rhythms and European melodies, seasoned with just a bit of indigenous New World influences and Middle Eastern tones. Originating in the Caribbean, Latin music spread via migration to New York where it became Salsa and via trade to West Africa where it became Soukous.

Ricardo Lemvo & Makina Loca join Salsa and Soukous into a musical stew which takes Latin music to a new place. African musicians have been playing Cuban based music for decades, first staying quite close to the form, then substituting electric guitars for horns to develop Congolese Rumba and Soukous. Some, like Africando, have come back to the Cuban style, but it is really just copying, ala Linda Ronstadt's "Frenesi", faithful reproductions of the Cuban sound with little innovation. Lemvo and his band, now based in Los Angeles, play something new and unique, a music which has travelled back and forth across the Atlantic several times, accumulating lots of innovation on its way.

The music on "Mambo Yo Yo" can be characterized as mainly Cuban-style son montuno with trumpets (sometimes muted giving that "tropical moonlight" sound), driving piano, even a tres on many numbers. But then we hear the trap drums, the characteristic Congolese electric guitar runs and the occasional Kikongo and Lingala lyrics all of which combine to give us music which is interesting, entertaining, infectiously happy, good natured. Lemvo's personal touch reflects a lifelong love of Cuban music by someone who grew up in modern Africa and the musical melting pot of the US. The international band members (besides Lemvo, the musicians hail from the US, Mexico, Cuba, South America and the Netherlands) led by musical director Niño Jesús Pérez complement each other well on this album which will make you want to find out more about Salsa and about Soukous...but not until you're done dancing!

El mejor disco en español de la década de 1990........2000-06-23

Desde las bellas composiciones de Pablo Milanés, no había escuchado nada comparable hasta las canciones del Panchito Céspedes. Latinoamericano como soy de nacimiento y crianza, no pude menos que emocinarme al escuchar a este señor por primera vez, lejos de mi país y mi cultura, en España, recién se distribuyó su disco en aquella tierra. Las letras, bellamente preocupadas por la poesía y la rima, exponen el candor y la fuerza sentimental de este compositor enamorado. Su música, fuertemente influida por los ritmos de aquellos boleros con los que crecieron nuestros abuelos, es capás de elevar al más duro corazón hasta alcalzar el climax de un sentimiento puro, pero apasionado, ingenuo, y a la vez gozoso. Es un disco para ser escuchado, disfrutado y vivido de principio a fin e incansablemente, altamente recomendable para todo el que guste de la pureza sentimental y que crea en la fuerza del amor.

Vida Loca.......2000-04-05

I first heard Francisco Cespedes on vacation in Manzanillo Mexico. I just enjoyed the smoothness in his voice. I could have just melted where I sat.

Sentimientos.......2000-01-14

Maravilloso albun el de Pancho,mescla de bolero, jazz,balada,todo con una interpretacion muy propia y original.Es muy interesante la forma de espresar sus sentimientos tanto como compositor que como cantante.LLega de una forma impresionante a los corazones de quien lo escucha.Por ejemplo no pasa un dia sin que yo escuche "Vida Loca".Felicidades y muchos exitos te decea un cubano cantante igual que tu.

One of the sweetest sounding pop-jazz album ever heard........1999-09-05

I was in Towers Records when the jazz section (beats me why it was played in the jazz section) played the CD. I was amazed by the singer's voice and music. It was so emotional and the music was great. Though I'm Chinese, it did not matter and I hunted for the CD since there were no more copies in Towers. When I got it, it was musical bliss. I've never heard such sweet music sung by such voice. The CD is played every night and before I retire to bed ever since. I'm also using the CD to audition for speakers. First track is my favourite.

Many African bands have tried to sound Cuban: some have succeeded, but nobody has successfully captured the essence of both the way Ricardo Lemvo and Makina Loca have.

A better sound, stronger voice and higher quality........2005-09-19

Ana Barbara is not one of those singers who have a stunning voice that you can't get enough of. As a matter of fact, all of her past albums have offered 2 or 3 good tracks each, along with a few usless recordings and MUCH room for improvement. Following her career from day one I have seen her go from being a cluless new artist to a Diva in her own genre.

"LOCA DE AMAR" is an album packed with great tracks, a WAY more mature Ana Barbara (as a person and vocally), strong lyrics and great artwork. She shines in tracks such as "Loca" and "Bailando" and proves herself as a songwritter in the nostalgic and heart-felt "Lo busque" (my favorite track of this album and possibly the only track in her recordings where she conveys such sadness that it can actually make you cry). The lovely duet with Reily "No fue casualidad" incites the hope of a lost love who we just refuse to forget and let go.

Overall this is a great album, I enjoyed every track. It is definitely a disc you can play without wanting to skip over any tracks.

Beautiful!.......2005-07-09

Ana Barbara's voice is delightful like maple syrup. It's golden, sweet, and a little tangy, and her singing talent makes such good use of it. The song "Lo Busque" makes this CD worth the price. I heard it on the radio and I had to stop what I was doing and just listen. I wrote it down, bought the CD, and that song has haunted me for days. It's both sad and fun, the way Ana and the musicians banter and giggle through the song and still make you cry.

Más sensual que nunca!.......2004-11-22

Pasan los años y sigue Ana Bárbara con más sorpresas. Que talentosa mujer! Es un orgullo mexicano y se merece el éxito que tiene. "Loca de Amar" es un albúm con mucha variación. Contiene temas bailables como "Loca" y "Bailando," y también baladas como "Me Mata Tu Ausencia" y "No Fue Casualidad." El disco está muy bien echo y las canciones suenan muy pegajosas.

El primer sencillo que despunta esta producción es "Loca" un tema original de Alejandro Vezzani, una bellísima balada rítmica cuya letra habla de un amor imposible que puede conducir a la locura. Dicho tema se ha realizado en tres versiones con la finalidad de lograr una mayor difusión del mismo: versión original, versión norteña y versión pop.

El video de este primer sencillo " Loca " fue realizado en la ciudad de México por el producto Benny Corral, el cual en varias ocasiones ha hecho una exitosa mancuerna con Ana Bárbara, este video fue grabado en un hospital siquiatrico para darle el entorno adecuado a un tema que de amor que conduce a la locura.

Awesome Fingers.......2002-06-19

Who would have thought that a nice boy named Rosenberg wouldn't be Jewish? (No relation to the Rosenberg Trio who are also quite good). Jimmy's family probably didn't make the best choice in changing their gypsy name to Rosenberg to hide from the Nazis during WWII... but you won't make any mistake in buying this recording. I've had to replace my copy twice so far for various reasons (I think I actually wore one copy out) and would do it again in a hearbeat. Don't throw your guitar down in despair, just try to play half as good as Jimmy and you'll be doing all right (and try to forget that he was almost 16 when he recorded this). These guys would definitely have Django smiling in Le Hot Club in the sky.

Jimmy Lives.......2001-12-29

For those if you looking for more from Sinti, search for Jimmy Rosenberg. There are a few more CDs from him that are more or less available. One reads, "This item usually ships in 1 to 3 months." Maybe he switched to an Inner Mongolian label? It certainly is a wonder why he hasn't yet lived up to the hype he generated as a teenage jazz prodigy.

Sinti where are you?.......2001-11-29

This album is one of the best examples of gypsy/jazz guitar playing I have ever heard. Jimmy Rosenberg has gold in his fingertips.It is too bad that he hasent put out another album. Jimmy where are you? we are all waiting to here whats next.I was not familiar with this style of music until a cousin gave me this album on tape. I haave since worn that tape out and cant wait to get it on c.d..Dont even stop to think about buying this album.......Just do it.It will be the best purchase you have made to date.

sinti with jimmy rosenberg.......2001-08-27

This cd is a must for any musician especially guitar players who are into the style of django rheinhardt-but it is much more then that. The virtuosity of Jimmy Rosenberg at only age 16 is only believed when heard. Rosenburg is best gypsy guitarist alive. Listen to this if you want to hear someone take you to a new level of sound and guitar ability.

It's 2001 and still no new Sinti/Rosenberg!.......2001-08-08

The reviews below nail it. The musical virtuosity, warmth, playfulness and otherworldly beauty of Sinti's recording are all here. This disc held tremendous promise to music fans everywhere that the spirit of Django lived on but it has been awfully quite ever since. Undoubtedly, Sony dropped them after they failed to become the next Gypsy Kings. Jimmy where are you!?!?!?!?! If you don't own it, and you have even the slightest interest, snap it up now!
