A good Mexican music album.......2007-01-26

An album with passionante songs, color, life, energy and authentic Mexican spirit.
I like Vicente Fernandez voice, especially when he stresses some words in full voice and the voice sounds a bit rough.
Good music , good sound.

A must have ............2004-12-23

This compilation with Historia de un Idolo 1 is a must have for every Vicente Fernandez fan, fans of rancheras, and those who love Mexican music.This CD contains some of his most popular songs like Volver, Volver and De Que Manera te Olvido. The 2 compilations Historia 1 & 2 also has sn interview with Vicente Fernandez in the cover and some wonderful pictures including him recieving his star on the Walk of Fame. I was fortunate to see him live in Madison Sq. Garden last October and I was amazed at his voice, still beautiful and powerful as ever. He sang for two and haft hours without intermission. He is indeed a legend.....

A must have for fans of "El Rey"!.......2003-01-14

This CD is outstanding! Even those who burn thier own CD's would have a tough time putting together a greater collection of gutsy and classic Chente performances.
This disc includes perhaps his best-known and loved tune (Volver, Volver) and many other really superb songs ranging from very early to very recent in his career. In my view, great variety and choice of tunes from start to finish make this one of his best, better even than "Historia, Vol. 1" which is a very good CD as well. If you are a Vicente Fernandez fan but don't wish to go broke trying to purchase 50-plus CD's to get most of his greatest songs, one of your first Chente discs should be this one. "Historia De Un Idolo, Vol. II" easily earns five stars, even when compared to the rest of Chente's outstanding and abundant catalog of music.

Not bad for Bachata.......2007-08-06

Now I am not a big bachata fan, but as my wife has really gotten into salsa dancing, we have been gradually replacing our eighties rock collection with new and old latin music CDs.

Haciendo Historia by Xtreme is different to the usual Bachata album in a number of ways:

(1) They repeat their name throughout the song, just like the rappers do.. This is quite odd at first
(2) Several of the songs on the album are in English.
(3) A couple of the songs are remixed and you can't really dance bachata to them - although they are OK to listen to.
(4) There is some long basktetball skit at the beginning and end of the disc which is really pointless. Really.

That said, if you are tired of the same old bachata and are looking for something with a more modern twist then this disc will appeal to you. The tempo is quite upbeat and the guys have decent sounding voices.

ROMANTICA.......2007-06-28

I thought this CD was banging. I love when XTREME comes up with romantic music to sit back and chill with your man/girl. I always listen to XTREME, they have such wonderful voices together.

Thanks,

Cheesy, disappointing.......2007-05-31

The catchy, "Shorty, Shorty" prompted me to buy this disc. After my first listen I was dissappointed. After my second listen I was just plain irritated. Most of the cuts are unimaginative and feel very programmed, and really not very danceable - like something you would expect from apparently what is still considered a "boy band." The first and last cuts (intro and outro) are a complete waste - Why is the announcing of a baseball game on a bachata CD? And then there is the irritating line of "X - X - treme" on every single song! Don't waste your money like I did.

Buena Bachata..........2007-05-16

This is a great CD for those of us who love the beat and pace of bachata. There are some beautiful love songs on the CD plus one reggetone/bachata combo that reveals another side to this duo, still enjoyable. Driving in Austin is stressful. For those of us who use music to 'calm' our road-rage tendencies, bachata fits my bill. It's great to add these voices to my 'goin' down the road' audio library.

A couple hits, but the B side songs didn't measure up........2007-04-28

The B side songs were a little disappointing, and even had a different sound from thier radio hits.

Xtreme is still great!

A wonderful journey.......2006-02-17

The guitar performance is as good as it gets. Every track could have been recorded as a solo performance and worked very well. The percussion and saxophone enrich the context and move the performance into something more than just music. After listening you feel like you've just enjoyed something wonderful and at the same time you've been educated without realizing it! After listening you understand something about Latin American music that you didn't before.

my introduction to the classical guitar technique.......2005-05-22

The Journey to the Amazon does just what the title suggests, taking you on an melodious adventure of guitar and local instruments and rhythms. This disc was my introduction to the sound of a classical guitar, and I found that the path Sharon Isbin took from more classical repertoire suited her style well. I may not have liked the sound of classical guitar at all if I had first listened to it in a more traditional genre.

Mesmerizing!!.......2004-02-29

This CD was my first exposure to Sharon Isbin, and I am absolutely mesmerized by it!! The music is beautiful, lyrical and moving. You can close your eyes and feel transported to a lovely other-worldly place full of graceful Latin/Brazilian rhythms.

Beyond beautiful, a wonderful work.......2003-09-08

This recording was one of my early exposures to Sharon Isbin on CD. I had the pleasure of experiencing her live performance prior to the purchase of this CD. As a fan of heavier guitar music, (i.e. Steve Vai and Eric Johnson), I never believed I would enjoy a classical guitarist. I was so completely moved by the performance Ms. Isbin gives on this CD, that I promptly purchased "Dreams of a World" and most recently "Baroque Favorites for Guitar". I highly recommend this CD if you want to hear a guitarist whose work defies traditional categorization. I give it 10 stars! Please try to see Ms. Isbin live in recital if she comes to your area; you will experience a remarkable performance.

As enjoyable as their live performance!.......2002-05-28

I had the good fortune of hearing these performers live and relished every moment. Rarely does a CD live up to a live performance, but this is one that does and more. A must buy!!

Una cita con el amor, una joya de colección.......2007-02-06

Desde mis años de adolescente me gustan las canciones de José Feliciano, su estilo tan emocionante para cantar, su timbre de voz y ese requiebro tan especial que le da a su voz cuando canta siempre fueron de mi preferencia. De todos los discos grabados cor este cantante creo que difícilmente habra otro, como éste, que tenga practicamente todas las canciones con el mismo nivel de # 1. Todas las canciones son muy dignas de escucharse con emoción y están grabadas con el mismo sonido original que las hizo populares entre los años 60 y 80. Para los amantes de la canción latina, especialmente los cultores del bolero, este CD es un perfecto regalo. El precio está muy bueno para una colección de clásicos como ésta donde es difícil destacar una canción sobre otra porque todas son bellas. Es realmente un CD para ser recomendado.

The Voice, Guitar and Feeling of Jose Feliciano.......2007-01-13

Every song on this CD is a bonafide spanish classic from the one and only Jose Feliciano. On this CD, Feliciano displays his unique and marvel artistry in every song. These are songs that the brilliant singer and guitarist recorded in the first decade of his legandary career. His soulful, silky voice accopanied by his mastery of the guitar makes this album a real treasure for longtime fans and will provide great listening pleasure to new fans that perhaps are not familiar with these classic boleros from Feliciano during the apex of his massive popularity the late 60's and early to mid 70's. You can't go wrong with this CD every song is a timeless classic in the inimitable voice of the great Jose Feliciano.

Viva El Divo!.......2007-04-06

"La Historia del Divo" is a good overview of a legendary career and encompasses the many facets of Gabriel's genius, from the sweet "pop" sound of one of his greatest hits, "Querida," to the more traditional numbers which tend to be my favorites and use mariachi arrangements, like "No vale la pena," "Te voy a olvidar," and "Se me olvido otra vez." The big winner for me in this compilation is the glorious "Hasta que te conoci," with its slow orchestral build-up, meaningful lyrics, and Gabriel's plaintive, heart-wrenching vocal. Also an outstanding track is the final "Amor eterno," recorded live, and sung to his mother, and other mothers "mas lejos de aqui."

As one of Mexico's greatest and most prolific songwriters, with a strong, unique voice and charismatic performance style, few, if any, have reached the pinnacle of artistic achievement and international renown that Gabriel has had in his long career. The first in a lengthy string of hits for himself and so many other top stars was in 1971, when he was 21, with "No tengo dinero" (track # 2), and his melodic songs have an unlimited "shelf life," as Ana Gabriel had a Top 40 hit with this same song in 1995. And his creativity keeps shining brightly...viva El Divo! May he live long and prosper always. Overall sound is good, and total playing time is 68'53.

Nice collection of Juan Gabriel's hits.......2007-02-18

I checked this CD out of the library. It has some of my favorite Juan Gabriel songs: Querida, Con Tu Amore, Siempre En Mi Mente, No Vale La Pena and Ya Lo Se Que Tu Te Vas. Nice CD.

La Historia Continua............2007-05-07

I am Australian & unfortunately, do not speak Spanish, but Marco's music & voice explains it all to any non-Spanish speaker, particularly in his later Albums.
La Historia Continua...... "The best of all!" Brilliant
La Historia Continua Parte 3 is good (but not as good)
Razon de sobra, also excellent!
Trozos de Mi Alma is a good disc with some good tracks, and his DVD,
The Marco Antonio Solis ' Grandes Exitos En DVD' is supurb.
Grandes Exitos En DVD with Los Bukis is nowhere near as good.
I wish he would do more DVDs

Buy this CD ~.......2007-01-27

I too first saw this artist on the Latin on Ice skating show.
His music is beautiful & this is a GREAT CD.

Heavenly.......2007-01-20

Even though I can't understand the words the music is sooo beautiful. I first heard Marco Antonio Solis on a Skating to Latin show. My Husband and I both fell in love with his voice and songs......I well be buying many more. You can't go wrong !!

Buy it - You Won't Regret It.......2007-01-18

Marco Antonio Solis is timeless. I grew up on his original group, Los Bukis, never knowing who was the distinctive voice behind the band. Fifteen years and I don't know how many Latin Grammys later, the secret's out. Truly the hombre has a God-given gift. Enjoy!

Word to the wise: Those not fluent in Spanish should check out the lyrics - bad translations are widely available on the internet. Prepare to be floored.

Superb Voice.......2006-03-08

Solis' voice and the orchestal arrangements are superb. Forget about watching the accompanying DVD & enjoy the CD exclusively. (I was disillusioned to see how old Solis is...he should have kept it a secret.)Also... an enclosed English translation would have been nice.I play this CD in my car quite often to maintain a mellow outlook.

Menudo Mania!.......2004-04-01

I took a chance and purchased this and WOW..I was so excited to hear these guys sing again! I absolutely LOVED this CD and so happy to have found a good listing of their greatest songs! This band takes me way back to my teenage years watching every Sunday night on Channel 47. Going to see them in Radio City Music Hall NYC! My all time favorite was Charlie and Ricky Martin! If you loved them in the 80's you will LOVE this CD!

MENUDO STILL NUMBER ONE !!!.......2003-10-31

I ORDERED THE CD ON MONDAY AND RECEIVED IT TODAY. I'AM OVER THE MOON !!! GOSH !!! I REMEMBER MENUDO ALWAYS AND I'M STILL A FAN ! I LOVE EVERY SONGS AND MY FAVORITE WAS MIGUEL. WHEN I WAS YOUNG I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA MARRY HIM ! HE, HE ,HE. IF YOU ARE STILL A FAN FROM THE HEART THEN THIS CD IS FOR YOU !

this cd makes me remember when i was a menudo fanatic.......2002-02-13

i love every single song on this cd. i used to watch el show de menudo on ch 47 in n.y. i did not have a vcr so i had to record the songs from tv by placing my tape recorder next to the tv and doing the best i could. this cd is great if u love old school menudo. it is also great because they include a couple of the popular songs in english menudo put out. i only wish they would have included "if you're not here" by ricky. its a great song. they did include the spanish version though. i think the best song on the cd is "la fiesta va a empezar" by robi. he had the best voice. to sum things up GET THIS CD it is really great. u will be able to remember (at least for a few hours) when charlie,johnny,ricky,miguel and ray ruled.

THIS CD BRINGS BACK GREAT MEMORIES!.......2001-06-02

Menudo is certainly one of the best latin groups of all time (along with Timbiriche and Flans)! A lot of great songs here on this CD and you certainly get to hear the early days of Ricky Martin! This CD is a must-have for every Menudo fan! You will not be dissapointed!

Menudo is still #1 - no matter if they are not longer togeth.......1999-12-28

Listening to this album is having flashbacks of my childhood. Every song remainds me of all the times Menudo was in the backgrownd when I was playing with my frinds. I remember dreaming that Ricky Melendes was our boyfriend and that we had a girls group like menudo and we sang with them in their concerts. This CD is a MUST for anyone who was young in the 80's and want's to keep this part of their lives with them forever. In a few words No matter what MENUDO IS still #1! and will be forever

Amazon.com

In an attempt to appease Ricky's Spanish-speaking fans and resuscitate his ailing crossover career, the folks at Sony have unleashed La Historia a mere three months after releasing the underperforming Sound Loaded, which has failed to generate any Loca-sized pop hits. The 17-track Historia compiles the biggest Spanish-language hits off Martin's six albums, and--not surprisingly--it's his best effort since 1998's Vuelve. Martin tends to comes off like an overzealous Broadway extra on his English-language albums, but he infuses his Spanish tracks with nuance and passion. "La Copa de la Vida" (the superior original version of "The Cup of Life") crackles with electricity, and "Por Arriba, por Abajo" revels in acoustic energy. Martin also excels at ballads, most notably the pensive "Vuelve" and the exquisite "Perdido sin Ti," his finest recording to date. La Historia also includes rerecorded versions of early hits "Fuego Contra Fuego" and "El Amor de Mi Vida," along with the current hit "Sólo Quiero Amarte." There's no telling how long Martin will make English-language fans shake their bon-bon, but his Spanish catalog promises a long and bright future. --Joey Guerra

Ricky's La Historia is wonderful he can sing to me in Spanish any time and English . I listen to them all the time.

muy buen disco. si eres fan de ricky martin tienes que comprar el cd "aprendiendo a querer" de jessica cristina, donde ricky grabo con jessica el tema "todo es vida". este tema es el primer duo de ricky en su carrera musical y fue grabado en 1992.

great cd to shake to and to drive to. This man is so cute and has such a great sound. It's hard not to like him. Que percioso!

Flashback of a Success.......2003-01-21

Do I speak Spanish? I barely can work it...
Does that stop me from buying a cd in a language i do not master? NO!
Everyone who likes Ricky Martin when he sings in English should buy this, because when he sings in Spanish he's just as good.
Of course you do notice differences...
Aside from the Spanish versions of some of his worlwide hits (MARIA, LA COPA DE LA VIDA, LIVIN' LA VIDA LOCA, BELLA and SHE BANGS), most of the tracks appearing here are ballads.
And Ricky unveils such a talented attitude towards the balladeer role when he says it with Spanish words, you will be gladly surprised.
VUELVE is powerful...PERDIDO SIN TI and FUEGO DE NOCHE, NIEVE DE DIA are emotionals.
But Ricky loves to shake that cute butt, and loves his audience to do it as well, so there you go with the salsa explosion of LA BOMBA and POR ARRIBA, POR ABAJO, while BOMBON DE AZUCAR is a radio-friendly pop song.
Music is the international language, breaks down any barrier...do your part and break down a bit more of that barrier.

Discover the greatest Mexican rock band ever..........2007-04-24

And also in the Top 5 of spanish rock of all times. This is a perfect compilation and it shows how it should be done, arranged chronologically and covering thoroughly all the albums the band ever released. Caifanes formed in the mid 80's in Mexico City and as you can hear on disc 1, had a very strong influence from the post-punk & goth movement from Britain (mainly The Cure). Caifanes was signed by BMG-Ariola on the wake of the rock in spanish explosion in Latin America and released their first album in 1988, the first four songs from disc 1 are drawn from that album. At first caifanes seemed like rest of the rock groups coming out at that time, they all had new wave influences, but a year later they released their breaktrough single "La Negra Tomasa" an afro-cuban standard song and gave it a cumbia beat with complicated guitar textures. This song was huge and became a standard at parties and weddings, the single was backed by the B-side "Perdi mi Ojo de Venado" also included here. Caifanes seemed to be destined to be a one-hit wonder, but in early 1990 they released the first single of their second album "El Diablito", the song was "La Celula que Explota" and blew everybody away. Caifanes showed that they were developing a style of their own, merging rock music with Mexican folklore and pre-hispanic mitholgy, the music still showed some influences from the Cure but they weren't so evident anymore. In 1992 Caifanes recorded their masterpiece "El Silencio", by this point they had completely develop their signature sound, standing out the work of Guitarist Alejandro Marcovich and the production of Adrian Belew, the first half of disc 2 includes the songs from this album. After touring extensively during 1992-93, founding members Sabo Romo and Diego Herrera left the group. Recording as a trio, Caifanes released their fourth and last album in late 1994. "El Nervio del Volcan" showed the maturity of the band and a tendency towards hard rock, though it lacked the urgency and emotiveness of the first three albums. In 1995 tensions between leader and vocalist Saul Hernandez and Alejandro Marcovich broke up the band. In 1996 Hernandez brought drummer Alfonso Andre and "La Barranca" members Jose Manuel Aguilera and Federico Fong and recorded the first album from "Jaguares", the continuation of Caifanes basically. "El Equilibrio" was a great debut album but the quality of subsequent albums by Jaguares started to decrease.
This compilation is a perfect introduction to this great band and if you love them I suggest you to start with "El Diablito" from 1990 and "El Silencio" from 1992.

sweeeet!.......2007-02-23

damn amazon don't mess around order the product on sat and arrived on moonday. that was fast . this brings back alot of memories. thanx

great copilation BUT...........2006-10-21

hace tiempo atras habia oido canciones de Caifanes pero nunca me habia atraido tanto asta q un amigo me presto este cd, me gusto tanto q compre todos los discos y estoy muy feliz con mi decicion ya q cada cancion en cada album es exelente, Saul Hernandes para mi es el mejor escritor de canciones q haya oido en el rock espanol, sus lyricas pueden ser obscuras depresivas y interesantes, mas la instrumentacion y su vos hace una combinacion perfecta.

antes de q compres esta copilacion te recomendaria q en lugar de hacerlo trata de conocer mejor a la banda y compra todos sus discos ya q solo son 4, de todas maneras si te gusta lo q encuentras en esta copilacion correras por cada uno de los 4 albums q sacaron, digo eso porque me encantan muchas canciones q no se encuentran en esta copilacion, para mi esta es la mejor banda q a salido de mexico ni con mana me obsecione tanto como con caifanes y a todo esto ni siquiera soy mexicano, esta banda esta llena de talento, piensa antes de comprar esta copilacion ;)

A CLASSIC.......2006-07-18

simply the best this has to be in your colection if you are a real rock en spanol listener amazing collection simply the best

Promete a futuro........2006-01-09

No me convence ningún tema, excepto "afuera".

No compraría este CD, pero me dá la sensación de que este grupo podría llegar a sacar muy buenos temas algún día.

Soda Stereo dejó un agujero al disolverse, y si alguien me dijera que otro grupo lo va a llenar en el futuro, éste sería uno de los candidatos.
