Me Veras Volver: Hits & Mas Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you want a clue as to what the fuss surrounding the beloved Argentine trio was all about or just need a concentrated dose of Soda to bring on a trip, this compilation is for you. Otherwise, I can see no reason for a fan to own this rather skimpy collection. Yes, all the studio albums are represented on Me Veras Volver but if you want to go the compilation route, you're better served by Chau Soda (Sony-1997), a 2 CD set that digs a little deeper, thus giving a better idea of what the band was like. However, it does not include any tracks from Soda's brilliant swan song Sueño Stereo (BMG-1995)--points for Me Veras Volver in that regard--but if you dig this band you should own Dynamo (Sony-1993) and Sueño Stereo on their own, anyway.

Radio Bemba Sound System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Some of the negative reviews that I've read here about this title seem to be a result of the fact that on many of these tracks, Manu Chao strays quite a bit from the original arrangements as originally presented in their studio counterparts. While some of the songs on "Radio Bemba" are missing some of the texture that made them so wonderful in their initial incarnations ("Bongo Bong" for example), over all the re-workings of many of the songs make for a refreshing listen, especially if you have already spun your beloved "Clandestino" CD over a thousand times. While not necessarily a substitute for the original studio versions, many of these songs benefit from the energy infused into them in the live versions, and I think that it proves to be a satisfying listen for the Manu Chao afficianado (especially if one doesn't go in expecting a regurgitation of the studio versions). I was hesitant to pick this up after reading some of the negative reviews, but I am glad that I picked it up.

Arde el Cielo (CD + DVD) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a real Mana fan I can tell you this is enjoyable. However being objective I find it very hard to recommend this. Mana has become a product venture for the music company. Just look at the track record.
Since the last live album 1994's "Mana en Vivo". Mana has had 10 cd releases. 4 original material cds; 5 CD versions of greatest hits and 1 Unplugged. This cd will have been a lot better if they applied live material from their last 14 years of original material. A third of the songs for this live album has been done in Vivo. What happen to Corazon Espinado or Angel de Amor. This would have been better if it was a live 2CD set with the latest material (95-87). Instead they rely on nostalgia. The two new songs are not that great either; One is a remake of a song from Marco Antonio Soliz which is a pretty good remake and the other original song was probably a left over from the recording sessions of their recent album. No new ground broken here. I would recommend to get the DVD "MANA ACCESSO TOTAL " to see the full experience of MANA live.

Julieta Venegas: Mtv Unplugged Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Jullieta Venegas sounds delightful in this remarkable MTV Unplugged album.
I was truly pleasantly surprised and would highly reccommend it even if it
is your first time buying Latin Pop. She has a beautiful distinctive voice and
musicians with a lot of heart and soul to accompany her.
A must have for your collection.

On March 6th, Julieta Venegas recorded her MTV Unplugged at the Churubusco Studies in Mexico City, where she presented new songs besides interpreting some of her greatest hits in an intimate atmosphere to a live audience. This production counts on important and interesting collaborations like two time Oscar winner, Gustavo Santaolalla, who accompanied her with the banjo and sang the chorus of the song "Algun Dia (Someday)". Brazilian singer, Marisa Monte featured in song "Illusion", a new and beautiful song that combines the Spanish and Portuguese language. Also Mala Rodriguez joined Julieta and included a strong hip hop movement to the song "Eres Para Mi (You are for Me)", whereas the vocalist of Porter, Juan Carlos had a unique participation in "Algun Dia (Someday)". In addition, the very talented Natalia Lafourcade comprised of the orchestra and played several instruments during the night, whereas the talented musician and composer, Jacques Morelenbaum accompanied Julieta on the cello in "De mis Pasos (From my foot steps)".
