Contigo

Amazon.com
Honest lyrics, mature themes and solid musicianship distinguish this fine album. The band, based in Zapata, Texas, quickly stood above the herd when it broke through in the mid-'90s with a distinct pop/blues/Norteño sound. Lead singer-accordionist Ricky Muñoz has always sounded like the legend Ramón Ayala, but with the bottom-heavy rhythms and folk/rock melodies injected here, this is not your father's Norteño music. Daring and inspiring, the music pushes the envelope with tension-filled tunes such as "Fuerte No Soy," a bluesy ballad, and "Es Tan Bello," whose folk/pop acoustic opening is like a fresh rain in a staid genre. The first single released, "El Amigo que se Fue," is a tribute song for two band members who were killed in a January 1999 highway accident in Mexico. --Ramiro Burr

The best of latin music through Domingo's voice.......1999-08-10

This CD goes wherever I go, it is with no doubt, the queen of my collection. Medleys are wonderfully orchestrated and arranged and every song makes you travel anywhere between Mexico and Buenos Aires. Here, Domingo's voice is more like a musical instrument than anything else and each song you'll discover a new instrument. Honestly, I would personally award it six stars.

Classic Latin American tunes beautifully sung and produced,.......1998-12-11

Domingo's love for traditional Latin American music shines throughout this CD. A selection of great "standards", beautifully arranged and recorded by one of the world's great voices. "De Mexico a Buenos Aires," written by Domingo's son is the one original song on the recording and is one of many highlights here. I have listenned to this CD countless times over the past two years and it remains a delight.

Makes you want to dance.......2007-05-31

I bought this CD to enhance my learning of the Spanish language. Rosario has a great voice and this is by far the best CD of hers to date. Every song makes you want to run away to Spain or at least to dance the night away.

Rosario - Contigo Me Voy.......2007-01-31

Awesome! If you like Latin music, you will love Rosario. Every song is good.

Beautiful Music.......2007-01-11

I love Rosario. This is one of her best cd's. The lyrics were especially romantic.

Does Not Disappoint.......2006-09-14

As a constant latin pop music afficionado, I discovered Rosario sometime in the mid nineties and I didn't think much of her until I heard her 2001 release MUCHAS FLORES, a precious jewel of flamenco/pop music if there was ever one. She's gotten into this consistent groove ever since with 2003's DE MIL COLORES, which was almost equally impressive and in a very similar vein. With this new release, she is definitely treading new waters. All the songs are really beautiful and very mature. It doesn't even deserve comparisons to her old work since here she's definitely working on another level here. There are less rumbas in favor to more introspective downtempo songs and some really beautiful guitar work that fuse pop, rock, flamenco, and bossa nova, genres that she has explored before. If you miss the classic sounding rumbas ala Muchas Flores, Los Tangos De Mi Abuela, and La Casa En El Aire, you will be delighted with track # 9, a festive explosion entitled La Rumba Del Bongo. My favorite is the precious bossa infused closer, Mi Amor Por Ti. Does not disappoint. I wish this was the kind of music that was dominating the U.S. Latin charts.

Simply fantastic........2006-06-23

I like very much Rosario's music because even tought is very cheerful also has some good ballads and her voice is very mellow. Her style is a mix of pop, flamenco, rock and rumba.
Rosario is very talented and has many hits including "ESTOY AQUI", "QUE BONITO", "COMO QUIRES QUE TE QUIERA", "AGUANTA AHI" among others. Both of her latest cd's won a Latin Grammy Award and her live performances are simply flawless. This must come from her roots. Her mother was Lola Flores one of the biggest artists that Spain ever had.
On this production she cames with 11 songs that from my point of view the highlights are: on the rhythm ones are "EL BESO (CONTIGO ME VOY)", "MIENTRAS ME QUEDE CORAZON" and "CAYETANO" (which reminds me a bit to her song "LOS TANGOS DE MI ABUELA") and along the ballads are "MI AMOR POR TI", "EL NIÑO DE TUS OJOS" and "PARECE QUE FUE AYER".
When I bought this album I knew that I was going to like it but as usual when we buy a cd from a singer that we like, we don't like it very much until we get used to it, but on this case as soon as I played it for the first time I liked it.
You won't feel sorry with this one if you like Rosario and if you don't know much about her, listen the samples.
Finally I would also recommend her cd's "MUCHAS FLORES" (2001) and "DE MIL COLORES" (2003).

suprising content.......2007-02-07

Cura is wonderful but the style on this recording was not at all to my taste, my husband's taste or to a hispanic family's taste who know more about the "bolero" style than we do. Unfortunately, we all hated it. It is a sort of a slow, slighly jazzy drawl of music that never grabbed any of us.

Totally Smitten (Hook, Line and Sinker!!!).......2003-07-05

I first heard Mr. Cura on a duet with Sarah Brightman (There For Me), and I said I have to have an album of this 'muy macho' guy. I'm not really a fan of opera music so I chose "Boleros" and can't help but swoon over this total stand-out of a guy. And his being so handsome is an added bonus. This album is a must-have for all hopeless romantics.

A Voice Of Pure Beauty!!!.......2003-01-17

First Off I Am NOT An Opera Buff!! I Don't Speak Spanish! But After Discovering Luis Miguel & Alejandro Fernandez I Fell In Love With These Songs, Based On That Love I Purchased This Cd And Have Become An Instant Fan Of Jose Cura!!! His Voice Is Glorious & He Sings These Songs With Such Passion & Tenderness That He Takes You Beyond This Earth And A Little Closer To BLISS!!! Please Buy This And Add Some Romance To Your Life!!!!

unusual but lovely venture.......2002-12-12

Folks, let me offer a word of piece. Jose Cura the tenor and Jose Cura the pop singer are like two different personalities. Yes, to those of us who heard him live in opera (and haven't heard his "Anhelo" CD) this comes as a surprise. After all, not a single high C (or B for that matter) makes a presence, and majority of the selections are sung in near-whisper manner. It's decidedly un-operatic.
But it's an interesting and lovely album of songs arranged in a soft jazz-like way, and Cura invests a lot of feeling into each of these. I listened to the album about 3 times before coming to appreciate it. Do likewise and you'll descover a totally new side to this remarkable artist.

Everyone's a critic.......2002-08-26

...

As for this CD, there is nothing to say other than FABULOUS!!!
By and far one of the best CD's I own and a most brilliant example of Mr. Curas' vocal and interprative talents.
While he does sound more baritonal than anything else, it is exactly that which sets this CD apart form any of Domingos' "pop" efforts....or any CD of contemporary nature by other Tenors i.e. Boccelli etc.
Granted, Mr. Cura avoids most high notes (the highest sung on any song is an A natural), but given the song selections and that this is a vocal Jazz CD, there really is no room nor need for any excessive Tenoral vocalizing.
If you like Jazz and want to hear a world class Tenor sing it, purchase this CD.
Unless you belong to the "If it's not Pavarotti, it's no good.." crowd, you're promised to enjoy this most recent effort by Mr. Cura immensely.

Sublime.......2006-02-13

This CD is, may be, the best late century 20th’s album in Spanish. Three things make it incomparable. First, the exquisite lyrics and the poetic exercises. Two of the most poetic songs in Spanish are included in this CD: “Contigo” and “Y sin embargo”. The other most poetics songs in Spanish are, of course, distributed in Sabina’s CDs. One more time, Sabina uses the language to reinvent the language (“Es mentira que nunca te he mentido / es mentira que no te mienta más”). Second, musically, all the songs are very interesting rhythm experimentations. In just one CD, we listen to rap, Cuban “son” (Son Cubano), rock & roll, soft rock, Mexican “rancheras”, waltz, finger style guitars, and so on. All the rhythm experimentations are, of course, sublime in combination with Sabina’s lyrics. Third, great Latin composers and singers join to Sabina in outstanding interpretations: Charly García, Pablo Milanés, and Manu Chau. Simply one of the best samples of Spanish-speaking music…

Tu, ti, te, conmigo.......2001-12-26

Buen disco. Logra mantener el gran nivel alcanzado con la brillante trilogía Mentiras Piadosas - Física y Química - Esta Boca es Mía. Incluye las excelentes Contigo, Y sin embargo y Tan joven y tan viejo (espero poder cantar esta canción cuando esté por los 50 años). El disco también destaca por las colaboraciones con otros músicos: Manu Chao, Charly García, Pablo Milanés, Andrés Calamaro.

Sabina al maximo.......2000-10-12

perece que a Sabina le habisaron que era Sabina y decido tomarselo en serio en este CD en el que parece que Sabina se imita a el mismo..... y le sale de maravilla. Escribe canciones complejas y llenas de simbolismos, se pone a jugar con los ritmos y logra los mejores areglos que haya tenido. El solo compuso la musica de "mi primo el nanao" y las demas son de amigos suyos, como Milanes, Varela, Mau Chau, y Antonio y Panchito. Es un disco para escucharse varias veses seguidas y degustar el buen gusto de Sabina.

Sabina - cerca del corazon.......2000-09-05

Al oir este album de Sabina, uno puede sentir tantas cosas. "Yo no quiero domingos en la tarde" dice en la segunda cancion: quien no se ha sentido de esa manera... Vamos! Que momento de la semana es tan hermoso y tan triste a un mismo tiempo? "Tan joven y tan viejo" - que cancion! Es para acercarse al interior de uno mismo. Siempre me recordara mis mejores tiempos, siempre me recordara a mis amigos. Siempre lo considerare una obra de arte. Lo recomiendo con los ojos cerrados.

Y Vuelve.............2000-03-28

Otro As de la Manga se ha sacado el viejo Sabina con esta joya. Aun obviando la pureza y variedad de los ritmos, ya en si soberbios; Sabina ha vuelto a recordarnos la magia que hay dentro de las frases callejeras. Recomiendo "Postal de la Habana".... UNA JOYA !

The Voice vs The Beat.......2005-02-04

This was my first CD by this remarkable woman. Not since Nancy Ames & Vikki Carr have I been so taken with a voice. I was not disappointed with the singing but with the material involved here.
The problem becomes obvious when you listen to the two best tracks; "Llego El Amour" and "Que Bailen Los Ninos". On these two cuts the vocalist is showcased, as it should be. The songs allow her to shine, complimenting the music. Listening to the rest of the cd, I was overwhelmed by the frantic pace and similarity of each cut. Horns/Trumpets blared, track after track and after a few songs they all sounded like the cut before. What this album needs is perhaps a new producer to put some originality into each song and let the artist take center stage.

Olga's best, and one of the great merengue albums. .......2003-06-30

Those who only familiar with Olga's Tanon 2 releases since the beginning of the century may not recognize her in her older albums. Starting with the girlish tones of Sola And Mujer de Fuego, Olga evolved into a mature sophisticated merengue singer.

Nowhere is this more evident than in Llevame Contigo. It is not only her best album, but qualifies as a merengue classic. It is certainly a major effort: there are 14 songs, and the CD lasts over an hour, which is highly unusual. Every song is memborable, with wonderful arrangements by the likes of Tejada and Querol. The background singing adds much to the quality of each song.

The album starts off with the wonderful Despierte Corazon, and just continues on with one great merengue after another. Yes, There is a similarity to the songs, especially in the first half, but rather than coming across as repetitive, they all fit together into a beautiful coherent whole. I particularly love the final "Siempre en mi corazon": such a warm and heartfelt song, that always brings a smile to my face.

This album is so thoroughly infectious from beginning to end, that it is still among the top 5 or so merengue albums I keep coming back to for many repeat listenings.

Olga has never sung better than in this album. I loved her in "Siente El Amor," but in Llevame Contigo, her voice has matured into total perfection. She is absolutely outstanding, singing with great authority, maturity and impact. She is just as good a singer today, but most of her material does not take advantage of it. All you have to do is listen to this album to understand why.

You definitely do not know Olga Tanon until you have heard Llevame Contigo. Her older style (it changed dramatically with 2001's Yo Por Ti) is more pure and in some ways more substantial than her recent work, altough much of that is very good as well.

Llevame Contigo is an album that will be listened to for many years, as new people come to appreciate the great Olga Tanon.

Delivers the goods but missing the "speed"..........1998-10-07

Olga Tanon's newest CD is full of excellent, hip moving merengue songs that will leave you with a beat on your feet all day. Although the CD lacks the faster merengue songs that she does so very well; ala "Es Mentiroso" (He's A Liar) and "Que Se Vaya" (May He leave), it still has the magic that she is known for. This CD has many songs that can top the charts. I especially like "Serpiente Mala" (Evil Snake). Ladies, aren't a lot of men like that? I recommend this CD with a four star rating. Good, hot merengue rythms but needs the speed that she is known for. OLGA ESTA CALIENTE!!!

Amazon.com

Mexican crooner Jaime Camil has plenty of competition to wade through if he wants to make a real impact, but Para Estar Contigo seems a promising start. Camil is clearly being marketed as the latest Latino heartthrob via lush balladry and the various beefcake shots that decorate this CD's booklet. He has also no doubt studied the work of international idol Luis Miguel. Camil has a rich, deep voice that recalls Miguel's confident delivery throughout Para Estar Contigo. The handsome singer nicely wraps his swooping vocals around ballads such as "Nada es Igual Sin Ti" and "Nunca Dejarte Ir," which benefit from lush instrumentation. But whereas Miguel falters when he attempts to tackle upbeat numbers, Camil remains in control. He showcases a sexy swagger amid blaring horns, pulsing rhythms, and rousing choruses on "Fiesta de Amor," "Me Llego el Amor," and "Encadename." Camil may be another pretty face, but his voice should entice at least a few people to listen. --Joey Guerra

Para Estar Contigo.......2007-01-16

Very good CD by Jaime Camil, you will also love his latest release!

You Must Love This!.......2001-07-22

I came across this album through Amazon recommendation and never regretted purchasing it. While Jaime Camil's voice is not perfect, he was able to show his versatility in this album with a wide repertoire that includes ballads, pop and dance music. I am a non-Spanish speaker but came to love this album very much. At least 7 out of the 10 songs will appeal even to those who do not udnerstand Spanish (like me). Highly recommended and looking forward to his next work.

What A Nice Surprise!.......2001-02-17

This is a wonderful album and I just happened to stumble upon it one day while looking through the Latin music section at my local music store. Anyhow, the boleros on this CD are to die for as well as the fast paced songs. I am more partial to Jaime's fast-paced songs, but they're all really great. Anyhow, if you're looking for a change, try this album! It'll be playing over & over in a CD player near you!

A very beautiful voice from a very beautiful man........2001-01-28

Although it is Jaime's first album it appears as if his voice is much more mature. It has a lot of feeling and rythm. Nice presentation. His voice brings memories of older great singers. He definitely has a great future as a singer.

Beautiful Songs from a talented (and GORGEOUS) artist.......2001-01-02

Jaime Camil is a very talented performer. The songs here and their production are top-notch, and Camil's delivery is very inspired and passionate. (and it doesn't hurt to sell a few CD's that he is a gorgeous man!)

CONTINUING THE DEFINITIVE LECUONA SERIES.......2004-09-14

In Each volume, Tirino's playing is Herculean. He understands all the forms-and then plays them flawlessly with total feel, command, poise, and technical panache this music requires. The rumba will have you begging for more! I don't think anyone could ever surpass the perfection Tirino brings to his Lecuona disks. Gold standard.

WOW!.......2001-05-17

I love this disc. Tirino is extraordinary from the first note to the last. How dare anyone call this great artist any other name but MAESTRO. This is a must have for any music lover. In fact, this is my favorite disk out of the whole Lecuona series on BIS. Get it, or you'll be waiting till the end of time for a better recording by any artist on these works, or on any Lecuona for that matter. 5 stars plus 100!

INCREDIBLE MUSIC AND PLAYING.......2001-05-04

This disc is fabulous from begining to end. Tirino is phenomenal-don't even DARE to think otherwise! This music swings and is beautiful from top to bottom. I'm going to buy all the discs in this series-if they are as good as this one, boy-I'm in for a treat. Highly recommended.

PIANIST OF PIANISTS.......2001-04-24

What more can be said of Tirino and his recordings of Lecuona's music except TOTAL, ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. This disc stands out for several reasons: The spirited Rumba with voices and chorus, and the Danzas Cubanas which are real gems. (as well as Vals Gitano). These danzas require EXTREME Left hand control of technique along with many colors and swing. I as a Cuban know this very well. I have never heard these pieces played better. Tirino's HUGE technique, beautiful sound, varied phrasing, and delicate subtelties never fail to amaze the listener-its incredible. Forget any negative comments-they are silly, stupid and uniformed. A better pianist, and better playing of this music you will never, EVER hear. If you want the best recordings of Lecuona's music, Tirino's series on the BIS label is IT. Get Lecuona's own recordings as well, as a point of reference. ENJOY!

PERFECTION: PIANO PLAYING DOESEN"T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS.......2001-04-24

I own the entire Tirino/Lecuona series on the BIS label and I am a teacher at a major musical institution. I have heard a lot of piano playing in my life, including much Latin American piano music, which I have a special affinity for. Simply stated: Tirino plays this music like a God. Pianism of this high a calibre dosen't get any better. Period. Of all the discs in this series, this one is my favorite,(along with Volume 3). The rumba sizzles, and Tirino infuses it with breadth, stylistic colors and rhythm with real panache. And he wrote the Spanish lyric himself! Amazing. Tirino's technical skills are monumental, BIG, Lisztian in ability, certainly far above "Clementi" or "Scarlatti", good heavens. His playing is perfect for Lecuona-in fact-for ANYTHING. Beyond staggering technique he has a singing quality and subtelty of nuance and phrasing rarely heard nowadays-flexibility of sound with thousands of variations in phrasing, tone, dynamic, and pedal subtelties that make his musicianship stand FAR above many others. His tone is rich, full, NEVER BANGING (enough already, please!), aristocratic-never vulgar. Anyone who really knows good piano playing will hear it. Tirino's playing is very warm. The Danzas Cubanas (especially Lola esta de Fiesta) are magical. Put on Lecuona's recordings and compare them side by side to Tirino's. AMAZINGLY IDENTICAL! Fact: Tirino has been recognized as the Lecuona authority in the world for a reason-TIME magazine, The New York Times, and Stereo Review can't be wrong. Neither is the Lecuona family, who have endorsed his recordings, interpretations and work. There might not even be a discussion about Lecuona these days, had it not been for the work of Tirino.

In summary-Tirino is a GREAT artist and one would be hard pressed to imagine anyone else coming along and improving on his recordings. Comments made to the contrary can be dismissed as silly, uninformed vulgarity. If you want to hear great Lecuona, and great Piano playing by a tremendous artist, this disc and others in this series are for you. If not, it might be advisable to learn music, and re-wire your brain to try and listen differently.
