1 out of 5 stars Form over Substance.......2006-12-18

I listen to World music all the time and especially latin beat, flamenco, etc...

When I compare what I feel when I listen to my world music CD's of some of
the world best performers with this DVD, my experience is that Nights of Fire is
stale, bland, boring and aseptic.

If you liked Nights of Fire, I highly recommend you check out the Putumayo
label and their 60+ world music CDs and discover the "real thing".

If Nights of Fire moved you then go to the "source" and listen to the original
performers of such musical styles. Nights of Fire is like frozen concentrate
compared to freshly squeezed fruit juice.

5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT.......2006-07-05

I SAW THIS GROUP LIVE IN THE U.S.A. AND I HAVE TO SAY IT WAS AN AMASING SHOW. I WILL DEFINITELY GO AND SEE THEM AGAIN NEXT YEAR. I GIVE BENISE HIMSELF TOP MARKS FIVE STARS.
M.P.L. THE NEW FOREST. U.K.

4 out of 5 stars A enjoyable CD.......2006-06-14

Benise's music thou not as tecnical as say Paco De Lucia or Phil Keaggy, Is still quite enjoyable and filled with emotion. I like to use it as background music for my juggeling shows because of the emotion it seems to bring from peaple. I hope this helps you make a choice.

5 out of 5 stars WOW.......2006-06-11

I was amazed by the talent - what a beautiful and wonderful DVD to watch. Ron Benise will touch the lives of many people through this DVD. Even if you do not enjoy Spanish guitar, you should watch this and you will appreciate it! I guarantee it.

5 out of 5 stars Nights and Days of fire.......2006-06-09

I was lucky to see this program live as well as own the DVD. The music and dance are fabulous. This artist and his troupe have a lot of years to grow as they discover all their talents.

Each different CD has its own treasures so I reccomend owning them all.

Album Description

Set against the decadent glamour and escalating danger of revolution-eve Cuba, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights re-imagines the 1987 film phenomenon from an exciting new perspective. Havana Nights tells a timeless story of a young woman's discovery of love, sensuality and independence - but with a sizzling style and rhythm all its own. In planning this new chapter in a beloved franchise, Artisan Entertainment and Miramax Films have put together a team of creative dynamos from the worlds of film, music and dance. Among them: maverick independent producer Lawrence Bender (Pulp Fiction, Good Will Hunting); executive producer Sarah Green (Frida); Academy Award. winning screenwriter Ron Bass (Rain Man, My Best Friend's Wedding); director Guy Ferland; screenwriter Pamela Gray (A Walk on the Moon); choreographer Joanne Jansen; music industry legend Clive Davis, whose hot J Records imprint will release the soundtrack; acclaimed actor Diego Luna, a rising star following his performance in the sexy sensation Y Tu Mama Tambiin; and, in what promises to be a breakout role, gifted young actress Romola Garai (recently seen in Nicholas Nickleby). The resulting film is certain to give audiences - from newcomers to those who cherish the first Dirty Dancing - the time of their lives, and then some!

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Dirty Dancing - Havan Nights Soundtrack.......2007-04-07

Purchased for my daughter and myself after seeing the film. It is a lively mix of sultry, sensual salsa music which gets the feet moving and the singing and body going too! Exciting! Motivating! Fun! Not just for latin music lovers but for people who love life and enjoy being ALIVE!!!!!
Right up there with Otmar Liebert with Nouveau Flamenco and The Gypsy Kings to get the juices flowing and the body grooving to the music! We love it!

2 out of 5 stars not good.......2007-03-13

These songs are cheesy and not even close to good latin dance music

5 out of 5 stars Let the rhythm take you away.......2007-03-08

Was your foot tapping as your watched the movie? Even if you didn't like the film buy this CD and let the lating rhythm take you away.

5 out of 5 stars Havana Nights.......2007-02-08

I did not care for the movie Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights but the soundtrack is AMAZING. It has everything from slow dancing to fast step dancing type of music. I would tell anyone who loves Latin music that this soundtrack is a must have.

4 out of 5 stars Very Impressive.......2007-01-27

I was very impressed with this CD. When I watched the Havana Nights, the thing that captivated me was the MUSIC. This soundtrack had all of the best songs from the movie in it! My favorites:

-Dance Like This
-Satellite (both versions)

But it is hard to pick favorites, because all the songs are good. If you found yourself wanting to get up and dance when you heard the music in this movie - DEFINITELY buy the soundtrack. It'll be a great addition to any collection.

5 out of 5 stars Highly recommended.......2007-07-19

I first heard this CD at a French restaurant and asked the owner what the name was. I found it at [...] and the other reviews highly recommended it. Ordered it, got it, and love it! The title pretty much sums up the contents; relaxing and romantic music by excellent musicians that put you in "vacation mode" on the Riviera if you close your eyes.

4 out of 5 stars Delightful Rythms.......2006-05-05

Mediterranean Nights is full of delightful guitar rythms by a pair of amazingly talented guitarists ... Kenny Vehkavaara and Rob Piltch. If you like Spanish guitar, put this in your collection. It may not be your favorite, but it won't disappoint.

4 out of 5 stars Great!.......2004-10-25

Lush, romantic music transports you to a balmy evening on the Costa del Sol. A must have for your instrumental collection.

When the famed New Age label Narada comes down to earth, it does so with a measure of class. Take this collection of a dozen contemporary Cuban dance numbers by four acts. As sophisticated and clean as you'd expect from bands that make their truest marks in live club settings, the stars of Cuban Nights offer some unstoppably infectious jams. Highlights include Maraca's "Maraca's Tumbao"--flawed only in its not-long-enough playing time of four minutes--and Bamboleo's "Opening." The latter pushes forward with a stylishness that recalls the best of Chic while never sounding like that classic disco group. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Truly awesome.......2000-10-13

I disagree with the previous reviewer only in one respect, he gave this CD 4 stars and I would give it 6 stars if that was possible. I grew up in Cuba and besides "sálsa en mi sángre" I have a large CD collection and this one is one of the best; I can hardly stop playing it since I bought it. The Rólo Martínez selections in particular are to die for. "En Cása de Pédro El Cójo" (while politically incorrect - translates to "In the House of Peter The Cripple") is a superb cut - really wonderful to listen to and dance. The Bamboléo "Yo No Me Parézco a Nádie" (I don't Resemble Anyone) is a Timba that while difficult to dance, is nonetheless intoxicating. I strongly recommend this CD - among the best in my large collection.

4 out of 5 stars The music of Cuba - Now!.......2000-06-19

I am always a little apprehensive when it comes to purchasing compilations for a variety of reasons. First, the amount of compilations available today are staggering. It can be quite confusing unless you are a fanatic of Cuban music. Moreover, many of the compilations leave much to be desired. Second, why have someone else decide what is best? "Cuban Nights" is the exception to the rule. This diverse compilation represents the "creme de la creme" in contemporary Cuban music.

For example, sonero (vocalist) Rolo Martinez, featured on "Mi son, mi son, mi son," "La Ruñidera," and "En Casa de Pedro El Cojo" is a living legend in the Cuban dance community whose career has spanned decades. By the way, Rolo is still going strong. You can also hear him these days with "Cubanismo," one of the most diverse and entertaining bands playing contemporary Cuban music today.

Orlando "Maraca" Valle takes Cuban "Timba," (the hot rhythm in Cuba today) to new levels. His dynamic flute playing runs the gamut from street rumba to fusion and his improvisations will dazzle you and keep you dancing. He is one of the most dynamic stars in Cuba today.

What can I say about "Bamboleo,"? If you have never heard them, you are in for a treat! Their music takes into account the traditional roots of Cuban music as well as jazz, rock and pop influences. And they are quick to remind you that, "Yo no me parezco a nadie." Translation: We are unique, no one looks or sounds like us!"

For those of you who prefer classic Cuban music, there is "Laito", one of the most respected "soneros" in the genre.

There is something here for everyone.This compilation is also a sure shot for those who are curious about Cuban music but are not sure where to begin.

All in all, a must have. Listen and enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars A tribute to Soraya.......2006-05-14

Soraya was an amazing person & her music will hit your soul.

Please read this article she wrote for a magazine

Beautiful words
Tomorrow by Soraya in 2005:

The tragedy of the tsunami that hit South Asia this past December, the pain and suffering surrounding the Terri Schiavo story, and even the recent death of Pope John Paul II have all inspired me to re-evaluate my own existence. Like many others that have been through a life-threatening illness, I took this journey a few years back after my cancer diagnosis. But I must constantly check myself to make sure that I do not get lost and forget the valuable lessons that that hardship and pain taught me. The only certainty we can count on is the uncertainty of life. Twists and turns come without warning, and all that we perceive to be true can change in a fleeting instant.

I think of the tourists sitting on the beach, looking out at the vast Indian Ocean, watching their kids play in the sand. Then, in a few short, terrifying moments, all is gone. I think of the villagers, those that survived, wading through the muck searching for their lost lives. The "I should have"s or "I wish I had"s do not exist anymore. There is no time for a warm hug, a long gaze, or another "I love you." The tomorrow they had envisioned will never come. That time is gone.

I think of Terri Schiavo. I look at the picture of her before the heart attack that began her demise. How beautiful she was. Then I see the picture seen by millions around the world, the one with the blank look and open mouth. In the prime of her youth, why would she have thought to prepare a living will? She was young and vibrant with a long, healthy life ahead of her. But in a brief moment, all of that changed. Her tomorrow became encapsulated in a hospital bed with an endless stream of minutes flowing agonizingly into themselves. She is now physically gone, and we will never know how much she suffered nor what her wishes truly were. Her family is left shattered while she is now finally resting. The tomorrow they were all looking forward to dissolved the day she lost consciousness.

I think of Pope John Paul II. Having seen Parkinson's disease and life's time clock break down someone very close to me, I breathed a sigh of relief when the pope passed. He had a full life. He accomplished much. His passing is a joyous occasion. Death is inevitable, and it should be welcomed at the end of a good life. Sometimes tomorrow comes just as it should.

We have become so attached that we forget that all we love, all we have, all we aspire to be is on loan. Life and love are gifts for us to cherish and treasure, but they are gifts that can go away without warning. That is what makes love so intense. That is what makes life a miracle. The uncertainty of tomorrow is what should inspire us to appreciate the here and now.

Youth tricks us into thinking that we can prepare and plan. Fresh faces think that time is on their side and nothing will ever go wrong. Tomorrow, they think. There is always tomorrow. I don't have to think about that now. I'll tell him how I really feel about him some other day. Maybe next year I'll go get a check-up. I'll take care of that later. I'll say thanks to my mom next weekend. Tomorrow it'll be fine.

But when tomorrow came for me, I ended up sitting in front of my doctor in a peach-colored gown hearing from him that my life was no longer what I thought it would be. When tomorrow came for the families of the tsunami victims, they were searching for bodies and cleaning up the rubble that was once their homes. When tomorrow came for Terri Schiavo, she could no longer express her emotions or thoughts. When tomorrow came for Pope John Paul II, he must have felt relief to be freed from the body that had failed him.

Take a moment to think about all that you put aside until tomorrow. Call your mom or dad. Make amends with an estranged friend. Spend a long moment holding your child and memorizing every turn in his or her face. Make time to take care of yourself. Turn off the television and have a conversation with a loved one.

When you love knowing that love is a gift, when you know that your body is your temporary gift in this lifetime, when you realize that none of our material possessions matter nor remain with us when the loan is called in, that is when you are freed to truly live.

5 out of 5 stars Heaven has a new angel, our beloved Soraya is gone........2006-05-11

Soraya is and will always be one of the most talented Latin singers of our time. Grammy award winner and multi-talented singer/songwriter. She has lost her battle to cancer, but never lost her battle to live. In her short life she was a spokeswoman for early detection of breast cancer. She made it her life's goal to inform all women, especially hispanic women to have regular mammograms. For her life's work, her talent, and her many amazing songs, Soraya will forever live in the many lives she touched.

This her first CD is one of her best. I highly recommend it. Especially the haunting last track Pueblito Viejo. A very melancoly song that transends you back in time, to a place where all was peace and harmony. A beautiful song, in a well balanced CD. Long live Soraya.

5 out of 5 stars It's already been said..........2003-09-18

..but here it is again: This cd is BEAUTIFUL!!! The lyrics, the voice, the instrumentation, the feelings they evoke...all the songs are great, but especially outstanding, IMHO, are 'Love in Your Eys', 'Avalanche', 'Calm Before the Storm' and the title track 'On Nights Like This'. I think I may be one of the only ones in Denmark to own this cd, actually I've only heard of ONE besides me so far...a pity. She should be a household-name!

5 out of 5 stars Heart wrenching.......2000-11-30

Soraya's voice reaches inside you and pulls out every emotion. From the first song on the album to her last, she takes you with her as she sings of love, loss, and learning. The title song "On Nights Like This" has the remarkable ability to bring tears to my eyes every time I hear it. I hope she creates more English albums, because I love to listen to the feeling she places in every word. I have bought this CD for dozens of friends and will buy it for dozens more.

5 out of 5 stars Appealing to the Heart.......2000-01-14

I will keep this review short and to the point. I have never heard any other cd that reaches for the heart as this one does. Soraya's words appeal to every emotion and are sung with more passion than the majority of music that is played in this day. Perhaps it is her Latin background that enables her to express such love and feeling.

3 out of 5 stars La Cicuta perdio La Sustancia.......2002-01-21

I purchased this CD for 2 deserving danzones: Cicuta Tibia and Sustancia. Paquito's rendition is pitiful compared to the orignal by Enemelio Jimenez with the Ernesto Duarte orchestra. He chooses to play these beatufil solos completely straight and this drains the flavor off these numbers.

5 out of 5 stars Elegance meets passion.......2000-11-18

Qué disco! Paquito has delivered again - this time a beautifully crafted, elegant Cuban orchestra sound. Excellent music to keep cheer you up on those chilly Central-European autumn nights, making you wish you were in the Caribbean. Es música tan elegante como caliente.

5 out of 5 stars Latin Grammy Winner 2000.......2000-09-21

It is obvious why this album won this year's Latin Grammy. Paquito is a master musician and I highly recommend this album to those interested in true jazz music.

    Even though many of the songs may sound better in the original Portuguese, this album puts together some of the best of the Bossa Nova love songs. All of the artists are terrific, especially Sylvia Telles, Lani Hall (of Sergio Mendes fame), Milton Nascimento, and others. It definitely grows on you. Also, it's good therapy music after a bad day.

    5 out of 5 stars Great Bossa-Jazz.......2005-12-16

    This is a great import title that brings us very interesting and high-quality Bossa-Jazz classics in this 2005.
    The Highlights?? The "new" artists featured here:
    - Paula Santoro ( A new luminary in the vast world of Brazilian Divas ).
    - Xavier Osmir ( What a vocalist; also a new and very interesting singer from the new Brasil; someone like Valdo Silva ).
    - Simao Morto.
    - Gustavo Marques
    and...
    - Instrumental group "Grupo Cabana".
    If you're into Bossa Nova, Brazilian Jazz and anything & everything Brazil; this one's for you.
