Customer Reviews:

Another great mix from Carlos Campos.......2006-11-01

What a find! I started with Barrio Latino Paris and then rushed to buy each of the others and found they were all great.

Both discs of Barrio Latino 3 are different, both are excellent. The first disc 'Sweet Life' is a lush mixed disc of breezy latin beats and is perfect for relaxing, background music for dinner parties, that kind of thing.

The second, 'Latin Nights' is an excellent upbeat mix of latin flavoured dance music. Close all the windows, take the phone off the hook, turn up the volume to 10 and dance... and then come back to Amazon and grab each volume in the series while you can.

Carlos Campos has made an excellent music selection for both the chilled discs and the dance discs in this series. None of them are a case of hit and miss, or 'I liked tracks 1-4, but the rest was rubbish' as are so many other mixed CDs, which I think takes an exceptional ear to select the best tracks and then to be able to mix them seamlessly into a whole work of art. Campos has mastered this art.

If you like latin music or just some great funky dance music, the Barrio Latinos are an excellent choice. It's so easy to drop $20 on a dud CD these days, you wont do this here, this is a great buy and will get repeated listenings. I have dozens of CDs in this genre and this series sits right up there at the top of the heap.

For other similar CDs see my listmania list (click my reviewer name) or check out anything on George V Records, Buddha Bar, Siddhartha, Claude Challe... my guess though is that if you're here, you already have, so check my list manias for another 50+ really beautiful CDs you wont regret buying. (If you find it useful, click 'yes', and I'll put up more).

Can you tell I love this CD? Five stars. Highly recommended.

Puts me in the mood to dance while driving!.......2002-09-30

I am very pleased with my introduction to Electro Hispanic music.The compilations of Brazilian, House Fusion and Tribal Grooves by Carlos Campos is nicely put together.

CD 1: the music very relaxing and easy on the ear. It would be ideal to play this music while entertaining friends at home. Relaxes me during my drive home after a long day at work also.

CD 2: music is very lively and makes me want to get up and dance. During my drive home from work my feet could not stop tapping with the beats as I turn up the volume.

I do not speak nor understand Spanish or Portugese but love to listen to all types of international music.
