5 out of 5 stars Oro is pure Gold, of course!.......2007-05-07

Just as any ABBA album, ORO is simply divine. It includes all their Spanish hits from Fernando and Chiquitita to Dame! Dame! Dame! (Gimme, Gimme, Gimme), Estoy soñando (I Have a Dream) and Al andar (Move On). All fifteen songs have great sound quality and are perfect to dance at party or simply to enjoy a nice evening with good music.
This is a MUST-HAVE for every ABBA Fan.

Como cualquiera de las grabaciones de ABBA, ORO es simplemente divino. El mismo incluye todos sus éxitos en español desde Fernando y Chiquitita hasta Dame! Dame! Dame!, Estoy soñando y Al andar. Las quince canciones tienen una gran calidad de sonido y son perfectas para bailar en una fiesta o simplemente disfrutar una velada con buena música.
Es un disco esencial para todos los fanáticos de ABBA.

5 out of 5 stars Good music in ANY language!.......2007-05-03

I bought this cd for a couple of reasons. I am learning Spanish and knew I would enjoy the latin versions of these famous tunes; and, this weekend I'm going to see the hit musical "Mamma Mia" (saw it a few years back and LOVED it!!!) and I know this cd will get me revved up for the fun!

This cd contains several of my favorite ABBA songs---"Chiquitita", "Fernando", "La Reina del Baile" (Dancing Queen), "Estoy Sonando" (I Have a Dream) and "Mamma Mia" to name a few. In Spanish the songs retain all the charm and great pop sound of their English counterparts. You will not need to know Spanish (I know very little!) to enjoy the music. Good music will transend any language and it is certainly true of this set of chart topping 70s hits!

After hearing this cd, I am planning on buy "Mas Oro", another collection containing more latin music from ABBA. I definitely recommend this to ABBA fans!

4 out of 5 stars Oro - Golden in any language.......2006-09-26

ABBA in the seventies was a musical juggernaut sweeping the top 40 of mostly all international markets. South/Latin America though was not one of these markets. So ABBA decided then to re-release their songs in Spanish. The result was a smashing success that created a loyal fan base.

While Fernando, Chiquitita, and Mamma Mia translated quite fine, their version of "Conociendome, Conociendote" or "Knowing Me, Knowing You" was a little tougher, but still sounds good. Hasta Manana and Andante, Andante are two very pleasant and personal songs that hit that nerve previous hits accomplished. Even to the untrained Spanish speaker, Agnetha and Frida still sound very well.

5 out of 5 stars As Always, Top-Notch ABBA!.......2004-07-06

One of the joys of being into a group like ABBA is that every time you pick up one of their albums, you know that you'll be hearing a well polished piece of work. Not every single song may ring your bell, but it seems like there was always high quality work ethic put into each album.

This collection of ABBA's hits is one of their crowning glories that I think gets overlooked too often. The lyrics of hits like "Dancing Queen" and "Thank You For The Music" are translated beautifully into Spanish, retaining the original meaning of the song, and without awkward or incompetent rhymes.

One of my favorite tunes on this collection is "Dame! Dame! Dame! (Amor Esta Noche)," which we know as "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)." Out of all the sultry & saucy ABBA tunes, I always thought this song drove home the love-hungry theme better than any other. This Spanish cover captures the same exact passionate feeling, nothing diluted here!

There was a follow up to this CD called "Mas Oro," which was not bad at all, but paled in comparison to this collection. If you are even just a casual ABBA fan, "Oro" is worth going out of your way to buy.

5 out of 5 stars ABBA ORO is music to the ears !!!.......2004-04-08

This was the FIRST ABBA record I ever owned. Originally released in 1980, The LP originally titled GRACIAS POR LA MUSICA (Thank You For The Music) featured some of ABBA's big hits (and a couple of lesser known songs) sung entirely in espanol.

I must say (being a latino) that the girls sing wonderfully in spanish. The star vocalist on this album is Agnetha, since she sings most of the songs and her vocal work is superb. I prefer the spanish versions of CHIQUITITA, FERNANDO, THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC(Gracias por la musica) & GIMME GIMMIE GIMMIE (Dame Dame Dame) over the original english versions. Main reason being is that the vocals and harmonies are far more clearer and pristine in the spanish versions. Agnetha's voice sounds spotless in CHIQUITITA, GRACIAS POR LAS MUSICA, AL ANDAR (Move On), and DAME DAME DAME. We get to hear the delicacy and texture of her gorgeous voice more here than on ABBA's other albums. And since the songs here are not as textured and overdubbed like their english counterparts, we get to hear the delightful harmonies in all of their ABBA-esque splendour. Just listen to the chorus in CHIQUITITA and AL ANDAR and you will see what I mean. The english versions sound bigger but the spanish versions are crisper, less intense production-wise but far superior in vocal sound and texture. Frida also shines in FERNANDO, ESTOY SONANDO (I Have a Dream) and CONOCIENDOME CONOCIENDOTE (Knowing Me Knowing You).

With all of that said, I must also frankly state that the english version of DANCING QUEEN (La Reina Del Baile) is slightly better. Vocally the girls sound great but the overall production is slightly inferior. We don't get that intense and embellished musical production. LA REINA DEL BAILE sounds a bit watered down, less absorbing. However it's still a great song in any language and the girls devine voices and the timeless melody makes this one of the CD's showstoppers.

Commercial wise, the LP GRACIAS POR LA MUSICA was a world-wide hit- especially in Latin America and the first single taken off the album CHIQUITITA reached # 1 in Argentina, Mexico and my native Chile among several other countries. The CD version retitled ABBA ORO contains 5 songs not included in the album originally- FELCIDAD (Happy New Year), ANDANTE ANDANTE, SE ME ESTA ESCAPANDO (Slipping Through My Fingers), NO HAY A QUIEN CULPAR (When all is said and done) and RING RING. I must warn anyone reading this review that it's the cd with the black covering of ABBA ORO that contains the bonus tracks not the gold plated one. I happened to stumble upon both of them at a store here in TORONTO and I was able to purchase the 15 track ABBA ORO in BLACK.

And lastly, you don't need to know a word of spanish to appreciate this cd. The melodies are timeless and the girls voices are astonishing. This needs to be right next to your ABBA GOLD cd. It's simply FANTASTICO! !

    The first eight tracks are the exact same ones from the 1971 UA release "Sinfonias" so if you are looking for that album, here it is! This is the only CD that has track 7 Tchaikovsky's 5th from Sinfonias.

    I wore out two copies of Sinfonias and had been looking for it on CD. here it is!

    5 out of 5 stars It's a great colection.......2005-07-28

    When I listened the version Ode to Joy with this orchestra director I decided to get it because this is a piece of real good performance. In the past I got a cd of Waldo de los Rios but Ode to Joy was not in it until I finally found it now. That was the only reason I decided to buy this CD. In this cd you will enjoy "las bodas de fígaro" too; this is another music diamond and you can not miss it!

        5 out of 5 stars Gracias Violeta.......2005-04-10

        I first learned about Violeta Parra when I read her poetry in Woman Who Has Sprouted Wings: Poems by Contemporary Latin American Women Poets. I was both struck with the poems and the circumstances of her life. Besides being a gifted writer, singer and musician, she painted and wove tapestries known in Chile as Arpilleras and was the first Latin American artist welcomed at the Louvre. A very accomplished woman she nonetheless committed suicide in Santiago in 1967 at age 50.

        When I found out she had CDs available I bought Las Ultimas Composiciones, Last Works. It is an excellent collection of 14 songs ranging from haunting lyricism to driving resistance. Wanting to find another recording of Gracias a la Vida, Thanks to Life, and hear more of this remarkable woman's work, I looked at the other CDs available but found they duplicated much of what I already had on Las Ultimas. Grandes Exitos, Greatest Hits, had the least duplication so I bought it. After listening to it, I listened to it again and again. What a different side of Violeta. The melodies lighter and her voice more innocent. If you like Latin American folk music but have never heard of Violeta, I think you will fall in love when you hear her. This CD makes an ideal introduction to her work. Mr. Micocci's excellent review, which follows, documents some very important aspects of her life.

        5 out of 5 stars Nice little selection.......2004-11-28

        This is a nice, if necessarily somewhat limited, selection of a dozen of Violeta Parra's earlier recordings, mostly from the period between her career as a duet with her sister Hilda, singing the popular music of the day in the dives or "boliches" of Santiago, and her perhaps better known latter period of more socially engaged work. Only one song in this collection, "Y arriba quemando el sol", is more or less politically oriented - it also seems to be the latest of these recordings; the others are a mix of folkloric songs and her own compositions assimilating the different styles of folk music she had learned from her parents as a child and on her travels and investigations throughout the length and breadth of Chile. There's also one song, "El hijo arrepentido", with text by her brother, the famous poet Nicanor Parra.

        More people than ever today seem to be recognizing Violeta's importance as a pioneer of the Nueva Canción movement in Chile and her influence on other singer/songwriters throughout Latin America as well; perhaps many of her fans today aren't as familiar with the crucial role she played in preserving much of the folklore of Chile at a time when it was suffering sore neglect. Violeta, sometimes along with several of her children, spent a period of about 15 years, by her reckoning, traveling throughout the various regions of Chile collecting the music, stories, and other aspects of folklore and culture that were in real danger of disappearing as the last survivors of earlier generations passed away. With the influence first of England and then of the U.S. on Chile (as well as other parts of Latin America) and the advent of media such as radio and cinema, young people lost interest in carrying on the tradition of their elders - witness the advent of what was known in Latin America as the "Ye ye ye" movement in the 1960s (you can surely guess how that sobriquet originated). In 1957, Violeta and her children Carmen Luisa and Ángel moved to Concepción in the south of Chile where, under contract from the Universidad de Concepción, she began extensive investigation and preservation of this disappearing culture heritage; she also founded the Museo de Arte Popular. With her portable tape recorder, guitar, writing material, etc., she was personally responsible for saving a vast amount of folklore that was no longer known by more than a handful of old-timers in many cases; in addition to arranging and recording a large number of the songs she had collected, she also published a bilingual (Spanish and French) edition of "Popular Poetry of the Andes" in Paris, in 1965, and an article of hers, "Cuentos folklóricos" appeared posthumously in "Atenea", No. 423, Universidad de Concepción, 1970.

        Three of the songs in this collection are drawn from the vast store of folklore compiled by Violeta: the ribald and irreverent "El sacristán" and the two classics, "Ausencia" and "Qué pena siente el alma", here in a version with accordion that gives it a sort of Paris street music feel; if I'm not mistaken, it and "Casamiento de negros" are the versions recorded in Paris around 1956 rather than the earlier single versions put out by Odeón in Santiago in 1953, and the sound quality on these recordings is somewhat better. I believe some of the other songs could also be from those Paris recording sessions, but it's hard to tell - Violeta recorded a number of these songs more than once, and there's an unfortunate absence of production notes on this CD; the fact that this compilation was released by EMI Odeón SAIC doesn't really clarify matters, either. All in all, though, it's a pleasing set of mostly lighter-mood songs from Violeta.

        5 out of 5 stars This is not a new release!!!!!!.......2003-12-02

        This is the "I'M SO IN LOVE" CD released November 2, 2001, not the Serie de Oro-Grandes. Amazon has this totally mis represented!

        1 out of 5 stars The accent in English is terrible on this CD!.......2002-05-10

        I enjoyed Planeta Paulina better, but I didn't care for her last CD. Stick to Spanish, por el amor de diós! At least Shakira has flawless English on her songs. I don't care much for Paulina, but in English, don't bother, nena.

        5 out of 5 stars Paulina Remains The Best.......2002-04-08

        I think this CD is very good! Who cares if One song is from her old cd! She has a wonderful voice and all we should want is to hear it. Shakira is a good artist but next time you go to a music store get this!You won't be disapointed! PAULINA RULES!

        3 out of 5 stars Stick to Spanish?.......2002-03-26

        Ok, so last night I was channel surfing and saw this spanish talk show thing saying how her new CD was out soon with some new English tracks. I really hope the same thing doesn't happen to her like it did with Shakira, where they sound great in Spanish but in English you might as well skip those altogether.

        "I'm So In Love" sounds pretty bad (yes, as in not good), and for those who think it's brand new material it's actually just the translation of the song "Enamorada" off her high-energy 1996 release "Planeta Paulina".

        If her next album sounds like that...then it's not going to go too well for her.

        5 out of 5 stars Patricia Sosa es... ¡Fabulosa!.......2004-05-02

        One of the most unique voices in Latin music, strong, packed with emotion, Patricia Sosa is dynamic and touches the soul. Cool and hot at the same time!

        Patricia es un talento bárbaro, y aunque no la conozca, no dudo que es una mujer como pocas. Hemos escuchado sus canciones en mis clases universitarias de castellano acá en Virginia y los chicos han quedado muy impresionados.

        ¡Bravo, Patricia! You go, girl!
