4 out of 5 stars A great addition to your chillout library.......2007-03-13

As a fan of Enigma, Deep Forrest and Buddha Bar it provides another great variation of ambient sounds with good production. Hard to get hold of, it was worth pursuing. Great album.

5 out of 5 stars ANYTHING BY B-TRIBE IS OUT OF THIS WORLD.......2005-07-13

They get better with each CD but they are still all out of this world. There are no words to describe what this music does--chills and thrills.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent and sensual Gipsy music!.......2003-04-08

B-Tribe is capable of generate a new sensual sound with the old timer Gipsy music. A must have for your collection!

5 out of 5 stars The Original.......2003-03-07

I've owned this album since its inception but I feel compelled to write a few words and sum it all up...THIS IS WHERE IT ALL BEGAN...all you people that have been with b-tribe since the beginning know the impact this music has had on you.

4 out of 5 stars A good blend of new age, traditional latin, and techno music.......2002-07-28

I am new to the music of Barcelona Tribe of Soulsters but being a huge fan of new age, world, and techno music, I thought I would acquaint myself with their music when I found "Fiesta Fatal!" in the used cd bins at my favorite record store. I definitely liked what I heard on "Fiesta Fatal!". It is a good introduction for a new listener like myself. I really enjoyed the blend of traditional latin music fused together with ambient beats. In fact there were moments on this cd when I could have sworn I was listening to Enigma like on the title track. Those haunting female vocals is another reason why I thought I was listening to Enigma at different times on the album. I definitely thought I was listening to Enigma on "Nadie Entiende". As good as this album is, I think the biggest weakness is due to that Enigma comparison. Not that I didn't like what I heard on but I think that B-Tribe ought to develop a sound of their own. I love the idea of fusing traditional or classical music with techno beats but there has to be a line drawn somewhere that an artist has to also develop a sound of his or her own and not to rely so much on certain musical influences. B-Tribe is a perfect example of what I am saying. Come up with some better techno beats 'cause the ones that I heard on this album sure isn't original, and if using a female vocalist, well the same can be said about her too. Other than that, I really enjoyed this album, especially "Lo Siento". I really loved the flamenco work on this song. I definitely plan on buying more albums from B-Tribe in the near future for all the flaws that I have listed here.

This DVD is spectacular. Andre Rieu is absolutely fascinating to listen to and the costumes of the orchestra as gorgeous. Well worth every penny.

5 out of 5 stars Andre Rieu "Fiesta".......2005-09-20

This CD is absolutely fantastic. There is no musician quite like Andre Rieu. His music does indeed lift the spirit.

5 out of 5 stars Fiesta.......2005-09-12

The music lifts my spirits! It is fun and lighthearted. I sincerely recommend this CD by Andre Rieu.

1 out of 5 stars Not the best versions available.......2002-02-12

First of all, why call this recording
"Fiesta"? only for the first four latin-american
works? because the rest of the cd is of
German music.I you want a real "Fiesta"
disc, I recomendation is that disc
of Keith Lockhart, is much more fun and
much more in a fiesta spirit than this one.

5 out of 5 stars This is a great album!.......2002-01-02

I highly recommend this album. Andre Rieu is a great violinist. If you buy this album you will not be dissappointed. I'd give it ten stars if I could.

In the corner of the world known as New Orleans, Roy Byrd--Professor Longhair--looms larger than any other musical figure with the possible exception of Louis Armstrong. This album, recorded in 1979 and released the following year just after his death, marks his final recordings, and it includes a robust horn section, tight rhythm section, and Dr. John strumming guitar alongside his idol. The pianist bounces buoyantly through old favorites while adding some new songs into the mix. Fess's infectious vocals, jaunty ivory-tickling, and funky groove provide the ultimate soundtrack to the Crescent City and show exactly why the city has the reputation that it does. Take two mudbugs and call me in the morning. Better make that the afternoon. Late afternoon. --Marc Greilsamer

5 out of 5 stars Fess Rules.......2007-03-17

This is the last record officially recorded by the great Professor Longhair. If you don't know Fess was the Godfather of post 1940's New Orleans Piano. From somewhere he virtually invented a new style that Dr John, Allen Toussaint, James Booker (and the UK's Jools Holland) all borrowed from to differing degrees. Willie Fugal's Blues perhaps represent this best on this album. This is solo Piano except for added Conga.
His vocal style is also quite unique as well. Deceptively simple which occasionally becomes a sort of yodel.
This is a joyous record with 3 Sax players, a conga player and Dr John on Guitar. The recording quality is very good, as this was recorded in 1979 or 1980.
Rock n Roll, Blues and Jazz fans will all like this album. If you've just spent a difficult half hour trying to enjoy a late Coltrane album, this is such a relief.
Treat yourself to this recording.

5 out of 5 stars The very definition of blues piano!.......2001-08-06


This is Professor Longhair's best album and unfortunately it was his last. Professor Longhair is the very essence of New Orleans blues. He was Dr. John's mentor, who also was Professor Longhair's studio guitarist, before he dedicated himself to the piano and had a career of his own.

Crawfish Fiesta is my favorite blues album. It is full of energy and is just full of life and fun. Buy this album and take a virtual trip to New Orleans.

5 out of 5 stars The Professor's dream ..........2000-07-04

I first heard Longhair on the record "New Orleans Piano". It's a remarkable record. For the most part the tunes are brutally simple, the left hand outlining a major chord, and the right hand playing simple repetitive licks. But one tune jumps right off the grooves, "Tipitina", the left hand plays a rhumba like bass figure unlike any you've heard, the right hand alternates between tinkling and hard hammering, and the Professor more or less yodels a long series of nonsense syllables interrupted by one intelligible phrase, "little momma want's a dollar". Everything about this tune is unique, it was a local hit for Longhair in the early 50's.

When I moved to N.O. in the 70's I attended my first Longhair event in a run-down church. Playing with Fess was a ragtag group that did include, however, the legendary Snooks Eaglin on guitar. The audience was in bleacher type seats in front of a small stage. At one point someone in the audience shouted out "Tipitina!", and the Professor launched into the tune. This time the lyrics were intelligible, about a certain Loberta that liked to indulge, with the exception of the line corresponding to "little momma wants a dollar" which was rendered "oolla molla wolla dolla" !

I heard Longhair on many subsequent occasions. Every time was a party. And, every time, the accompanying band was less than stellar. Didn't make any difference, Longhair was never less than great.

Likewise, most of Longhair's recordings are made with less than stellar backing musicians ("R&R Gumbo does feature some superfine playing by Gatemouth Brown.) However, the band on "Crawfish Fiesta" consists of some of the best musicians in N.O. This band rocks! Longhair is in top form. The CD leads of with "Big Chief", which is an anthem in N.O., and the tunes are great start to finish. It's as if the Professor dreamed the perfect CD, and, then, it came to pass.

5 out of 5 stars His third best album--thus completely essential!.......2000-03-02

I think that "New Orleans Piano" and "Houseparty New Orleans Style" are better Longhair albums, but this one is also a great album. There are many lively cuts on which the horns and guitar mix together with Longhair's playing and singing to create a very appealing and exciting sound. This is an essential album, and a whole lot of fun.

5 out of 5 stars A masterpiece!.......1999-07-12

Doesn't get much better than this. Fess' is the king of Nawlins'

5 out of 5 stars Magnificant.......2006-09-22

In the beginning singers used to sing and dancers used to dance and there was no guitar in flamenco. The guitar was added later as accompaniment. This flamenco CD is a true flamenco and Sabicas is great on the guitar as always. Those who toss CDs over the balcony because of flamenco singers, in my opinion still do not get flamenco. Great flamenco music.

5 out of 5 stars Sabicas Flamenco Fiesta.......2005-09-01

Sabicas is one of the greatest flamenco guitarrists who lived. This album is exciting and his virtuosity is amazing.

5 out of 5 stars The Beauty of Flamenco.......2005-04-09

This is mostly addressed to the frisbee lady.

The guitar in flamenco is the least developed part of the music. The voice is what it's all about, it's what makes it most beautiful to the soul, it's what gives it its duende. The guitar and dancing only support it. So, if you so strongly dislike "the voice", then flamenco all in all isn't for you.

I suggest you read some lectures and poetry by Federico Garcia Lorca, Spain's greatest poet. Maybe then you'll understand this music a bit better.

5 out of 5 stars Cante y Sabicas.......2003-11-21

Flamenco guitar traditionally was used to accompany the singing(cante) and dancing(baile). There are a few Sabicas solo guitar albums out there, but this is one where he's heard in this traditional role. If you find the beautiful singing "horrible", as one reviewer did, sit down, close the blinds and listen again.

4 out of 5 stars Very good traditional flamenco.......2003-08-29

Unlike miss Steinhauser who prefers to use this CD as a frisbee I think that the combination of the voices, the clapping and the guitar make it a wonderfuly balanced flamenco CD. If you are ignorant enough to hear only guitars, you should not by this CD, but good flamenco it cerainly is.

4 out of 5 stars Vamonos a la Fiesta.......2006-10-24

A lot of good points, a couple of bad. First, the compilation has a great selection of songs that all fit in with the dance party theme and it makes you want to get up and dance. The songs are great, especially Oye Como Va, We Got The Beat, We Are Family, and La Bamba.

The problems with this cd is that it's retailed too expensive for a 30 minute disc, though it does have a bonus music video to show you that everyone can dance. It also has a bit too much talking on it. Understandably, this is targeted at preschoolers and the shouted encouragement to get up and dance or sing is good, but sometimes tend to overtake the music.

The real only major fault is the tone of Dora's singing. Shrill, thin, a squeaky grating tone that is quite irritating.

However, thumbs up to Boots' voice - lovely! Backpack sings quite well also. Dora's voice is nails on the chalkboard....

5 out of 5 stars FIESTA AT HOME.......2006-07-10

My Daughter Loves this CD! And it is truly brilliant to have a CD of music that she loves from start to finish (no need to skip songs) and all the while I don't mind hearing it either - they are classic party tunes rather than over the top kids songs that get annoying.
A wonderful album for any little dancer!

If you like classical music, enjoy spanish guitar, you will love this. It is lighthearted, uplifting, & joyful to listen to.

4 out of 5 stars Marriner and Romeros unbeatable.......2003-02-11

These are probably the best recordings of the Rodrigo guitar concertos available. There is noticeable analog tape hiss in the background but this is a small price to pay for these excellent, classic recordings. The technical precision of Pepe Romero on the guitar along with the excellent performance of the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields and the equally good sound engineering is a rare treat. Rodrigo and the Romeros seem meant to go together so this CD set is a must have. It's unfortunate that an equally good recording of the Concierto Serenata is not included. The performance on the harp is disappointing. I am puzzled why Catherine Michel breaks into chords where Rodrigo wrote arpeggios. If this is artistic license it is a poor choice. The sound of the harp often fades behind the sound of the orchestra too. The entire recording seems poorly engineered. The orchestra sounds distant, as if it is poorly mixed or too few microphones were used. In the absence of a better performance, the Concierto Serenata would have best been left off the disc.

5 out of 5 stars 2'fer bargain.......2001-11-27

Wow!! Fantastic stuff that is highly recommended for classical music listeners old and new. Hats off to Phillips for collecting these songs by Spanish maestro Rodrigo and presenting them on two discs. Besides the more familiar fare like "Fantasia para un gentilhombre" and "Concierto de Arunjuez," which I never get tired of, there are various other conciertos that are so soothing and extremely relaxing. This is music to park your mind in tranquility bay with, a blissfull audio experience, orchestral nirvana for the classical music neophyte. The "Madrigal Concierto" is especially note worthy, the two guitars and orchestra are magical as they play in unison, elevating the listener to heights unknown and back. There are various performers on this disc and all are outstanding. The performance of Los Romeros on guitars and Catherine Michel plucking her heavenly harp are exceptional and simply perfect to my ears. These are all recordings from the 70's and early 80's but have been digitally remastered for a crystal clear sound. If you like the music of Joaquin Rodrigo you will love this compilation of 155 min+ of his best compositions at an incredibly low price.

5 out of 5 stars Inroduction to Rodrigo.......2001-07-28

I cannot compare these works with others by this composer because this was my first experience of him, but for the information of anyone else who is not familiar with Joaquin Rodrigo, I would describe him as a Spanish Aaron Copland in that they were contemporaries and they both incorporated national folk music into their compositions. It's difficult for me to imagine anyone of any age not enjoying these works.

5 out of 5 stars the best interpretation by the romeros.......2000-08-18

this cd are the best works for guitar by rodrigo, and the best interpretation by the romeros, especially Pepe Romero. His friendship with rodrigo was very important for the interpretation of the concierto de aranjuez and the concierto madrigal with his brother Angel. A great work and i am excited with this cd.

4 out of 5 stars Latin Fiesta.......2007-06-09

I am a native speaker and teacher. Latin Fiesta is great for dancing and to teach about the Latin culture. The music is not appropiate for children. There are a lot of sexual words in it.Latin Fiesta

4 out of 5 stars Latin Fiesta.......2006-08-16

Love the music! It's a great CD to get you moving.
However, I bought it thinking I could use it for a kids fiesta/party, becuase another review said it was great for kids. I would say it is highly inappropriate for kids, and would not use it to play for a group of children.

5 out of 5 stars WOW.......2002-11-11

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS ALBUM. THIS GUY TOOK ALL THE MOST FAMILIAR LATIN SONGS AND SPRINKLED IN A FEW MORE NEW FUN ONES. ITS A GREAT INTRODUCTION TO LATIN MUSIC FOR KIDS. IN LOT OF THE SONGS, THEY WILL SING PART OF THE SONG IN SPANISH THEN IN ENGLISH SO THE KIDS EVENTUALLY FIGURE OUT THE SPANISH WORDS BY LISTENING AGAIN AND AGAIN.MY SON CAN'T START HIS SCHOOL DAY WITHOUT IT. IT'S ALSO A GREAT POWER WALK TAPE. YOU WANT TO GET UP OFF YOUR [BEHIND] AND GET MOVING!WHAT A GREAT BUY!!

5 out of 5 stars Latin's greatest hits...a great compilation!.......1999-06-08

I love this album! From the beginning track "Un, Dos, Tres Maria" through "I Like It Like That", "Conga", "Lambada", "Oye Como Va" and "Guantanamera" this CD is awesome. 17 tracks for $10 can't be beat.

5 out of 5 stars Great stuff!.......2002-10-24

Erich kunzel has recorded a wonderfully exhilerating item this time! Wonderfully exhuberant is mild compared to the lively playing Kunzel always gets from this great orchestra! Arrangements are mostly by Tommy Newsome who knows how to write charts of varying degrees of excellence, particularly the winsome "Girl from Ipanema" which compliments the lyrics endless reflections on a beautiful, bikini-clad young woman. "Sweet and Gentle" is a saucy number while Eric Knight, the only arranger to get the Boston Pops under Fiedler to swing to new heights, contributes an unforgettably boisterous account of "Lambada." The sound is full of punch and contrast. And Doc Severinsen plays in "Virgen" a marvelous soloistic stratospheric account. My advice is to buy this immediately. It's one hot album!

4 out of 5 stars Wonderful arrangements of music from all over the world........2001-10-26

Telarc and Eric Kunzel never fail to amaze at the quality of their selections.

Even tough some of the arrangements here have a little too much
fanfare at the start they are still great to listen to.

Most of these melodies you have heard them at least once in you life. And they are reproduced here with the Kunzel magic.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful collection of Music.......2001-10-26

A Beautiful collection of music from all over the world.
(latin world that is)

I little grandiose on some selections (that's kunzel) but GREAT nonetheless.

5 out of 5 stars Maestro Fantastico!.......2007-04-28

Each note is a jewel that he performs with such life that you feel your heart beating to his rhythm. His left hand is amazingly clean but the stregnth and dynamics of his right hand could perform CPR without placing his hand on you. Gracias Dios para Celedonio haciendo Pepe !

5 out of 5 stars As usual a Romero delivers.......2007-03-23

I love this album but then again I love almost everything from the Romeros. I can't wait to see Corazon Espanol up on Amazon though. The sound quality is amazing. I got a copy at one of Pepe's performances and fell in love. I want to send get more of them to send as gifts for my friends and family.

3 out of 5 stars Not so good for the car.......2007-03-17

While on the highway when only the guitar is playing I have to turn up the volume to hear the music. Then suddenly the entire orchestra joins in and the windows rattle from the blast of sound. I could not find a volume level that worked for this disk. The music was lovely but the sound engineering was disappointing.

5 out of 5 stars The Music Evokes Feelings of Joy and Comfort.......2007-01-02

Listening to this album gives me the feeling of being three years old and starting to fall asleep after dinner and my father picking me up and carrying me to bed. I cannot describe how his music envelopes me-- I do not know why but every time I hear it I start to tear up. On this CD he is backed by an orchestra and hearing him play and them back him so perfectly is a delight to the ears. I play this CD for everything-- but I like it when I am lying down after a workout with candles lit and I can just close my eyes and melt into the music. I am not a music person-- I know very little and only know what I like but cannot explain it, but this CD is very, very wonderful. If you like guitar music of the classic genre, you will love this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD!.......2006-08-10

I put it on and press repeat. Very beautiful music and the orchestra is wonderful.

3 out of 5 stars Worst of the three.......2006-06-01

There are a total of three Wayne Gorbea CDs available on Amazon.com. This is the worst. None of the tunes on this CD got me excited. On the other hand, I can dance to it.

The other two CDs are great. They make me sing as well as dance. My neighbors don't like it.

4 out of 5 stars 8 Quality Tracks.......2003-08-26

The best yet from Wayne Gorbea. Typical Gorbea style - 8 tracks of no nonsense Salsa Dura, averaging over 6 and a half minutes a piece. No duds on this one! Great mix of trombones, percussion and piano. Frankie Otero handles the vocals nicely, backed by some catchy coros.

Only complaint, if you could call it a complaint, is the lack of a real stand-out track for the club. "Estamos en Salsa" almost has enough extra punch to outshine the rest, but not quite!

3 out of 5 stars Something missing in this one............2003-04-08

Im disappointed with this recording. Maybe because I was spoiled by Salsa Picante and expected some of the same up beat old school stuff. I still can't find one track that shines above the other.

5 out of 5 stars This is a must-have!.......2002-10-14

This fabulous New York Band didn't disappoint me and has some great salsa tracks for every type of salsa lover -- slow, fast or classic salsa dura! There's 6 salsa songs out of 8 tracks in total. And what are my personal favourites, well, it starts with a wickedly fast salsa on Track 1 - Sube Esa Cuesta, which just grabs you and makes you want to dance. What's interesting to note, is that many experienced dancers don't enjoy that speed anymore as you can't express yourself, it's just move after move at hyper-speed. So once you listen to the rest of the album, it's a great opener, but not the song you'd want to listen to over and over. Then Track 2 is a "classic remake" of Clavo y Martillo, so New York in flavour and caught my attention. Track 3, No Hay Confucion, didn't grab me at first until I heard it again in the comfort of my own home, perfect for beg-int dancers to mambo (salsa on 2) -- I couldn't even find the 1 because it's so slow and perfect for the 2. Track 4, Fiesta En El Bronx, is a beautiful song -- a perfect on 2 song with the right mix of coro and classic mambo. Track 5 and 7 are also NY mambos and Tracks 6 and 8 could be danced to a cha cha. After listening to this album all night, I'm totally drawn back into Clavo Y Martillo and Fiesta en el Bronx.
