Ry Cooder's name has helped bring attention to this session, but it's the veteran Cuban son musicians who make this album really special. Reminiscent of Ellington in its scope and sense of hushed romanticism, Buena Vista Social Club is that rare meld of quietude and intensity; while the players sound laid-back, they're putting forth very alive music, a reminder that aging doesn't mean taking to bed. Barbarito Torres's laoud solo on "El Cuarto de Tula" is both more blinding and more tasteful than any guitar showcase on any recent rock album; a quote from "Stormy Weather" and some very distinct parallels to Hawaiian styles remind us of why it's called "world music." --Rickey Wright

3 out of 5 stars Nice cuban music.......2007-03-15

I have had this album a number of years, and my enthusiasm is not quite as great as many of the viewers here, because although it is generally pleasant listening, I don't think there are really any outstanding tracks or personal favorites on here.

I should add that I speak Spanish fairly well and therefore understand the lyrics, and am generally an enthusiast of Hispanic culture and music. The story of this worthy project and how this was recorded are interesting and I suspect some reviewers are moved more by sentiment than just on the merits of the music, some of which seems very middle-of-the-road to me, albeit pleasant enough for casual listening.

5 out of 5 stars Cubano Revisited.......2007-02-12

Ry Cooder did a good thing reassembling these wonderfully talented and forgotten stars of another period. Great album, wish it was a double, triple, a collection. I would buy it. Can't replace these icons of another era and their sound will be gone with them.

5 out of 5 stars Ry Cooder With All Star Cuban Band.......2007-02-02

All done in Spainish, this excellent CD has a book included with translations and facts about the players. The music here oozes with atmosphere, taking you to the heart of Cuba. First rate musicianship and great songs all the way through. Ry leaves the vocals to various others, but his guitar work is unmistakably present. A good veiw indeed!

5 out of 5 stars Buena Vista Social Club Classic.......2007-01-16

For those of you who are fans of the Buena Vista Social Club already, this is the masterpiece. A culmination of talented musicians, soul, love, and sultry afternoons with a cool drink getting ready to kick on into the night!

For those of you who have never listened to this style of music, don't just listen to it once as you could compare it to the first 3 olives you have ever eaten.

The first one shocks your taste with a layered complexity that is both sharp and mellow, leaving you with a look on your face that says "what just happened?".

The second takes you back to the memory of your first taste, and enjoying re-living the sensation, you start looking for more.

The third confirms your interests and instils an infatuation with something unique, powerful, and good for the heart and soul, that will be played over and over again.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic!.......2007-01-11

Michael Fletcher reviewed this CD spot-on. And I concur with the review that it is magical--it is indeed that. I can listen to it over and over at work or at home! It seems to suit almost any mood and simply nourishes the soul. I highly recommend for anyone who enjoys good music--you don't even need to be a fan of Cuban music. I certainly am not well versed in Latin music, but am a definite fan of this album!

Amazon.com

La Llave De Mi Corazon finds tropical music troubadour Juan Luis Guerra returning to the secular sounds that have made him an enduring, endearing performer. His last disc, 2004's Para Ti, was a cautiously received--if still joyous--collection of spiritual tunes. La Llave De Mi Corazon centers on romance and love, themes that better suit Guerra's blend of salsa, merengue and other assorted tropical rhythms. The cutesy title track is featured in English and in Spanish, though it's doubtful Guerra will engage in any serious crossover work anytime soon. Better is "Something Good," a silky, simmering duet with smoky-voiced Chiara Civello. Guerra's own rich, expressive delivery is always a treat. He's emotive without oversinging, particularly during the lilting "A La Vera" and "Solo Tengo Ojos Para Ti." Standout "Si Tu No Bailas Conmigo" is a simple, gorgeous ode to amor that soars on glittering imagery and a gently shuffling beat. "If you don't dance with me, I prefer not to dance," Guerra confesses to a lover. It's an irresistible invitation. --Joey Guerra

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars El mejor album latino del 2007.......2007-07-18

Quien no recuerda "Bachata Rosa", "Si Tu Te Vas" o "Mi PC"? Juan Luis Guerra forma parte integral del haber crecido en Hispanoamerica en los años ochenta y noventa. Desde el cambio de siglo, no se sentia con la misma fuerza (o al menos no lo sentia YO con la misma fuerza), pero "La Llave De Mi Corazon" cambio todo de nuevo.

Aunque el sonido del album recuerda a la mejor epoca del gigante genio de la musica Dominicana, el album refresca el ambiente, recordandole al mundo el nivel de genialidad de Juan Luis Guerra que logra a un mismo tiempo alborotarle a uno las ganas de bailar y de decirle "Te Amo" a la pareja. No hay cancion debil en el album, lo cual equivale a decir que no hay descanso para los fanaticos de Juan Luis a lo largo y ancho de los 13 tracks.

Simplemente, sin lugar a duda, "La Llave De Mi Corazon" es el mejor album latino del año 2007.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Come Back on Juan Luis Guerra...finally!!!.......2007-07-15

I just love it, the english songs and new jazz rithems are a great complement to the other merengue, salsa and bachata songs.

Well rounded album full of poetry and dancing!

5 out of 5 stars AHORA SI !!!!!!!!.......2007-06-22

Este si es el Juan Luis que aprendi a admirar desde hace mas de 20 años..Aqui vuelve a componer y cantar para todo su publico, con ese talento sin medida que tiene para orgullo de todos los latinos.
Despues de un pequeño desvio en el camino ( desde mi optica), en el cual quizo dar testimonio de su fe particular, olvidando que su publico es heterogeneo y que no necesariamente valora sus creencias intimas (aun cuando las respete) de la forma en que valora su musica que si tiene un valor universal...,Juan Luis vuelve a ser lo que es...nuestro mas grande artista!!!
Excelente CD..!!!!

5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT!!!!.......2007-05-21

Juan Luis Guerra demuestra con este disco otra vez por que es uno de los musicos mas influyentes de latinoamerica, su versatilidad se pone de manifiesto una vez mas en este disco al combinar diferentes ritmos musicales como en "la llave de mi corazon". Excelente para todo amante de la buena musica.

5 out of 5 stars TREMENDO ALBUM!!! GRACIAS JUAN LUIS.......2007-05-19

Este album nos lleva de nuevo a todos esos sentimientos que JL y su 440 nos han acostumbrado desde que nos enseñaron a oir ,bailar y disfrutar su musica... El trabajo es super completo y de verdad es un MUST en la collecion de culaquier persona, mas aun de los que admiramos y seguimos a Guerra y su 440 y de los que hemos celebrado con el todos los mejores momentos..
Excelente fusion de ritmos e inmejorable instrumentacion... !! Un album sin desperdicios.... GRACIAS JUAN LUIS!

    Spanish Harlem Orchestra's United We Swing does more than just make you want to dance. The joyous collection will likely incite a full-scale house party, complete with flowy dresses, sparkly jewelry, and silky, unbuttoned shirts. The disc plays like an actual live performance, a tight mix of passion and precision. Bandleader Oscar Hernandez even introduces the entire outfit on the opening track. Horns blare, percussion pulses, and a voice of choruses guides several numbers. If nothing else, take a listen to the trio of "Sacala Bailar," "Ahora Si," and "Que Bonito," which comes midway through the disc, for an idea of SHO's sparkling seamlessness. "Danzon For My Father" is a touching instrumental tribute, and the bilingual "Late in the Evening-Tarde en la Noche" features an inspired guest spot by Paul Simon, who matches the group's swelling enthusiasm. Swing does just that--and so much more. --Joey Guerra

    4 out of 5 stars You have no option but to dance.......2007-05-23

    Since their arrival in 2000, Spanish Harlem Orchestra (SHO) has established itself as a standard bearer of contemporary Latin music. Directed by world-renowned pianist, arranger, and producer Oscar Hernández, the thirteen-member all-star ensemble has reintroduced the classic sounds of New York City Salsa to music lovers worldwide. United We Swing, SHO's third album, is a stunning follow-up to their 2004 Grammy award-winning album Across 110th St., and their 2002 Grammy nominated debut, Un Gran Día En El Barrio.

    On United We Swing, Spanish Harlem Orchestra continues in the same classic-meets-contemporary sound, but with refreshing originality. Nine of the songs are original compositions grounded in the unique identity the band has forged based on the musical legacy of El Barrio, a pulsating Eastside community in NYC located to the south of 125th St that gave rise to Boogaloo, Latin Soul, and Salsa.

    El Cantante - The Originals - Hector Lavoe

    Héctor Lavoe continues to be the source of tributes, covers, drama, and films. This collection of carefully remastered original songs affirms that the attention is well deserved. It features some of the classic hits he recorded together with Willie Colon. The influence of Lavoe will continue to be felt in the Latin music world, but nothing beats listening to this remastered original.

    Héctor Lavoe siempre será una fuente de tributos, álbumes, portadas, obras de teatro, y películas. Esta colección de temas originales remasterizados otorgan la atención que se merece el gran cantante. Adicionalmente, contiene canciones clásicas que grabo con Willie Colon. La comunidad latina continuara sintiendo el impacto de Lavoe, pero en realidad, no hay nada mejor que escuchar este álbum original remasterizado.

    Those who like Hector Lavoe will enjoy this cd. Although the quality is not excellent (I heard the original LP in one of my neighbor's sound system and liked the sound and was amazed by the coda of Periodico de Ayer, an almost classical part at the end of the song with violins which lamentably is not included in this CD.)
    I also like Dia de Suerte. How the chorus begins at "destiempo"... had not noticed it? uhmm.

    Amazon.com essential recording

    "The rhythm is gonna get you" is the tag line of one of Gloria Estefan's biggest hits, but it could also serve as the mantra for the Cuban-born singer's road to the top of the charts. Estefan's forte is middle-of-the-road pop, but all of her upbeat hits are fueled by driving Latin percussion, the feature that set Estefan's music apart from the rest of the flyaway pop of the 1980s and early '90s. Greatest Hits intersperses those great dance hits--"Conga," "1,2,3," "Get on Your Feet," and, of course, "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You," with sweet ballads such as "Words Get in the Way," "Anything for You," and "Don't Wanna Lose You." This set also includes "Coming Out of the Dark," Estefan's triumphant comeback hit following her 1990 career-threatening tour-bus accident. --Daniel Durchholz

    5 out of 5 stars One of the best artists @}->---.......2006-07-17

    Gloria Estefan is such a talented artist. Not only does she sing so well, but writes much of her music. Her songs are great and she's a fun entertainer.
    This cd has some fantastic songs on it. It truly shows the wide array of hits she has accumulated over the years. There are the fun latin inspired boppy songs, and there are the ballads she is well known for too. I love both and that's what makes this a great cd - the fact that there is a good mix.
    One of her best songs ever (in my mind) is When I See You Smile. That's a stunning ballad and it's my favourite of hers. There is also Anything For You and Words Get In The Way. For faster songs, there is the cool Rythm Is Gonna Get You and Go Away. It's very hard to pick what song I like more when she has so many. This is just a few of her best and she's probably overdue to have another cd like this released because she has done some more excellent cds lately (underrated ones) and her catalogue is always expanding. I love this cd and still listen to it often.

    5 out of 5 stars A Mega Star Arrives .......2007-06-27

    At the risk of listener hubris, I can say for certain that this new addition, from just a few listenings, is a monster contribution to the many great works from a legacy of exiled Cuban musicians that have enjoyed a new found freedom outside Cuba. Anyone following Issac Delgado's musical trajectory ought to be aware that he is a major and veteran voice from Cuba and a singer who will undoubtedly provide a powerful lift to Latin music worldwide. None of his many self-penned compositions is formulaic or lyrically unsophisticated. His musical collaborations are not schemes for a badly needed lift to a sagging solo career. Alone or among other musicians like Adalberto Alvarez, Cheo Feliciano, NG La Banda, Galaxia, Los Papines, Elena Burke, Tata Güines, Maraca, Pacho Alonso, Victor Manuelle, and Gonzalo Rubalcaba, has not only led to many covered hits while still living in Cuba, but has afforded new listeners a chance to enjoy this artist alongside others. The group Galaxia for instance is made up of many young talented musicians such as Ramon Huerta, Diego Valdez, Angel Bonne, and Jose Miguel Crego.

    Issac has an unwavering appreciation for both the literary and hard driving rhythmic demands of listeners and dancers alike. And while today's popular sounds are often weary and dull to some ears as when our musical memories or musical tracings perfectly match, Issac takes a different path by weaving and casting a tapestry of Cuban old and modern sounds fresh from the solares and social clubs of his native Cuba. Just when you expected a certain rhythmic pattern or musical direction would lead to a recurring estribillo and mambo, his music quickly shifts in a new direction with arrangements and accompaniments not heard before. He is a master of timba and you can't hear this musical idiom without tracing many of its elements to his vocal style or compositions. Issac Delgado has toured internationally and played with many great musicians. His compositions reflect an astuteness and innate ability to cull sounds and styles from many Cuban musical idioms and rhythms, and direct them into his own new offerings. With Issac Delgado you not only enjoy a sonero's velvety voice, impeccable vocal timing and musical sensibilities, but also an original artist with a selfless ability to listen and to move artistically ahead by design.

    4 out of 5 stars This album is just perfect a true Reggaeton Album.......2007-07-20

    As we all know, this is the first solo effort for Zion, and a really good effort by the way... in this review I'll speak individually about every song on the album..

    1- Zun Dada: Just awesome... it presents a wacky beat that is just perfectly made to blend with Zion's voice, it's a romantic song that mixes strings hi-hats and reggaeton 9/10

    2- Abre La Puerta ... I don't really like that song it's just boring and it says the same thing over and over again 4/10

    3- The Way She Moves... It's a good song that features Akon (he's everywhere :P), which presents a luring beat... but tends to be repetitive as well 7/10

    4- Amor de Pobre... I just love this song... I think it's the best song of this entire album... it features Eddie Dee, and mixes reggaeton with vallenato in a perfect way.. that tells us about his willing to please his love even though he's poor 10/10

    5-Oh Mami.... Yuck... i just hate it.. it's boring and it's like a 3 min+ whining by zion 1/10

    6- Hagamos El Amor... Plain old boring... with a really really slow beat and dumb lyrics 2/10

    7- Besame... Boring... the bases of this song are 3 words... 3/10
    8-Your Body... Good duet featuring De la Ghetto (weird name).. which even though it has repetitive lyrics (her body is on fire), presents a cool beat that is original 7/10

    9- Te Vas... It's a really slow song (nothing new... just a semi ballad that is just bad) 2/10

    10- Cuarto Nivel..... It's a level of nothingness unknown for humans.. this song talks about how they're above everything and do things differently... 2/10

    11- Money... a typical hip-hop with an r&b mix that talks about his richness.. and that people want to shine with him... 1/10

    12- La Neta... I've never understood this song... it talks about something that's the end... but it mixes love... and weird lyrics about how cool the song is... but I really like the cumbia beat so... 8/10

    13-Amor... A slow song that presents really good lyrics by Zion that tells us about what would he do with his loved one... 8/10

    14- Periodico de Ayer... Weird song that presents us about how Zion dealt with the pain caused by his ex... 3/10

    15-Fantasma... A cool song that tells us about Zion's misfortune with love... and that his girlfriend always worries him by coming and going, without telling him.... 7/10

    Well at the end of the review I can say that Zion is one of the best romantic based reggaeton singers out there... that makes people know that reggaeton isn't just about being rich and cool and famous... and he presents us lyrics that we can all relate to.

    4 out of 5 stars Good cd.......2007-07-20

    I personally like the first song a lot zun da da.. (what it means ..i dont know) but is sounds good.. after that some good songs ...amor de pobre, amor , the way she moves, and fantasma..

    5 out of 5 stars Trabajo de Equipo.......2007-06-18

    Indiscutiblemente que la excelente terminación de este trabajo, a parte del gran esfuerzo de Zion Baby, depende del excelente equipo de gente que trabajo en este proyecto. Esta producción vale la pena tenerla.

    5 out of 5 stars La Melodia Perfecta - 4.5 estrellas en realidad........2007-06-15

    Zion nos trae su primer solo album "Perfect Melody". En realidad su melodia si es perfecta. Casimente todas las canciones en este album son clasicas (buenisimas), solo hay dos canciones que no me gustan mucho y esas son: Besame y Cuarta Nivel.

    La mejor cancion del album entero es Amor De Pobre, esa cancion si que esta encendia, te la comiste ahi ZION.

    En conclusion, este CD ta clasico, se lo recomiendo a cualquier persona.

    Cuidense my gente y pa'lante los latinos.

    2 out of 5 stars Eh...?.......2007-06-13

    Being a fan of Zion y Lennox, and Zion himself, I was really stoked for the release of his album. Sadly, I didn't think much of it. There are just a handful of songs that are worth listening to. A handful. The rest are not even worth listening. 'Money' made me cringe. A lot.

    I'm very disappointed. I expected a lot better.

    Twenty discs and more than two decades into his solo career, Chayanne has nothing left to prove. The handsome entertainer has managed to stay afloat in the ever-fickle world of Latin pop, nary missing a beat. Chayanne has topped worldwide charts, shimmied on the silver screen alongside Vanessa Williams, and hawked soft drinks--all without a major push to the Anglo music market. Mi Tiempo, then, is the sound of a singer comfortable in his career. Frequent collaborator Estefano handles the bulk of the songwriting, and ballads mingle easily with a series of uptempo grooves. It makes for a fun, fluid collection. Listen to how the pulsing "Bailarina" gives way to the sweeping "Te Amare." Producers Sebastian de Peyrecave and José Gentile highlight Chayanne's strengths but still leave room for adventurous outings. "Me Voy a Rio" and "Lola" are irresistible calls to the dance floor; you can almost visualize Chayanne's electric choreography. And swoon-worthy first single "Si Nos Quedara Poco Tiempo" benefits from the glittering rock edge felt throughout Mi Tiempo. Another fine moment from one of the genre's often-overlooked heavyweights. --Joey Guerra

    5 out of 5 stars Carol from California - Check this out!.......2007-05-27

    I purchased the cd when it was first released, but waiting until now to give my review as I needed to listen to it for awhile. Now that I have taken the time to really listen to Chayanne's Mi Tiempo (And I listened to it alot) I must say - I love the whole cd - You gotta check it out!
    I too will be seeing Chayanne in concert (San Jose) tomorrow night (5-27-07) Hopefully he performs many of the songs on Mi Tiempo! Awesome cd!
    Everyone has their own flavor for music. But if you are one who likes Latin music - Chayanne's Mi Tiempo is your flavor!

    5 out of 5 stars Muy Bueno.......2007-05-07

    Este nuevo disco de Chayanne es muy variado y muy romantico! Me encanta!

    5 out of 5 stars Mi Tiempo.......2007-04-29

    I have to say this album is fantastic!!! The music is sexy, and keeps you wanting more. It has a different style, but yet keeps Chayanne's essence. His voice is more mature, and more powerful!! Some of the songs have an island feel to them. They have Brazilian, and Jamaican sounds, which most were done, and written by singer/songwriter Estefano. He is responsible for Torero, Boom boom, Dejaria todo, Baila baila, Sentada aqui en mi alma, and many more of his greatest hits! You can sample the songs at his website, recent activity, and click on multimedia, then you will see his albums there. You can sample all of them. You can also get all the lyrics there. His first release for this album, Si nos quedara poco tiempo, has already been number 1 in most parts of the world, and this album has been number 1 already on the Billboard chart. He is my favorite singer, and I can't wait to see this gorgeous amazing talented man in concert this Thurs May 3,in NYC, at MSG!! If anyone wants to see a future upcoming concert, you can click his calender at the website for upcoming dates.

    5 out of 5 stars Chayanne delivers again.......2007-04-19

    Unlike some artists who repackage the same formula album after album, Chayanne continues to grow and develop, exploring new sounds on each new album without completely abandoning what his fans love. This one is fantastic.

    My only complaint is that this CD does not contain the lyrics in the liner notes, however the website address is provided and the lyrics are available there.

    Bachata supergroup Aventura has never been shy about its musical prowess. In fact, the K.O.B. in this disc's title stands for "Kings of Bachata," and the cover shot pays homage to a certain fab foursome. A heady rep, to be sure, but Aventura backs it up with solid, sexy tunes and equally compelling showmanship. K.O.B. Live mixes old favorites, new tracks and live footage, giving fans the full package. The live bits were recorded at Madison Square Garden, a nice homecoming for the Bronx, New York-based group. Tunes such as "Los Infieles" and "Llorar" can-and do-induce swoons. Just listen to all the screaming, and prepare to be seduced. --Joey Guerra

    4 out of 5 stars Recording quality could have been better.......2007-06-10

    The new songs are great. However, some of the Live recordings could have used better live sound work. It's apparent that they simply wanted to take performances from different Latin American countries, not based on sound quality. They should have recorded at an concert set up specifically for this album. In one performance you can even hear audio feedback (loud ringing)!

    4 out of 5 stars Nice CD.......2007-05-14

    I like Aventura. Unfortunately I prefer studio versions rather than live versions. It is a good CD but not imppressive in my opinion.

    The Los Infieles Video makes it worth the value

    4 out of 5 stars Very Nice.......2007-05-12

    este es un CD que lo hicieron bastante bien, en este producto aventura recopila canciones de los mejores conciertos que hicieron en distintos lugares, tambien recordando en estos conciertos canciones de sus exitos como cuando comenzaron que fueron tocadas en este CD tambien

    5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT!.......2007-01-18

    This cd has a bit of everything, its perfect.. if your a real Aventura fan you have there prior cd's and if you do then you can hear the music with out the crowd in the background, why would they do a CD the same exact way with the same exact songs that there prior cd's have? they changed it up a bit here and its great! ROMEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    2 out of 5 stars What a let down!.......2006-12-27

    I ADORE all things Aventura, own every song they've made. So of course I asked for this cd when I knew it was about to drop... the LIVE killed me. You can barely hear the music, it's like I'm sitting at a concert - but kinda far away. On the stereo at home it fills the house with so much noise that I end up turning it off. I assumed with 2 cds and a dvd one would be live and the other studio, but nope. All screaming crowds. I even searched to see if it came in a NON-Live version. I'm disappointed, but love them anyway, just don't recommend this CD.
