I really like the record, Emigrante is an excellent album,I like the atmospheres and melodies,it's quite unique, It's true that the electronic loops are just the background to this great tango music, and that's what's inteded to be . This ain't no psycho rave album, this is MUSIC.

I recently read that this album was nominated for the latin grammys  in  the best instrumental category, as Bajo Fondo was nominated last year. Guess electrotango is here to stay!

Esta artista me impresiono realmente, es encantadora en el escenario y de un talento innegable. Soy un Colombiano orgulloso del talento que hay de mi pas, pero esto realmente trasciende toda frontera sin la necesidad de ser una fusin o algo por el estilo, muy recomendado.

This is the best instrumental Album , I have heard in years !! For all those people who like  good , heavy Instrumental Guitar music like Joe Satriani , well, this is a must !! Very melodic music , in which you do not miss the vocals . Between all those Guitarplayers , ANAND surely belongs between the Masters like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani ! This is a straight opinion about him as a song-writer and Guitarplayer , who knows that technique isn't the most important thing to show , but rather the talent to write great compositions !! Heavily recommended !!

Este album es excelente. En vez de seguir con la tpica frmula de los aos anteriores (la mal llamada "era de Gabriel", puesto que la influencia musical de los otros miembros era importantsima), Genesis busca un sonido distinto, que combina sus races progresivas con elementos del jazz, logrando una rica mezcla acompaada muy bien de la voz de Collins, un poco ms dulce que la de Gabriel. El liderazgo de Collins se hace notar en todas las composiciones, en este album Collins demuestra en forma ms clara sus virtudes en la batera y sus influencias jazzsticas. La incorporacin de estos elementos resulta en un sonido nico, realmente original, que logra de mejor manera los intentos de otras bandas que suenan demasiado a grupo de Jazz fusin.
Es un album que pese a ser ms "comercial" que otros, da un atrevido paso adelante en la bsqueda de otro tipo de sonido. La interpretacin de los integrantes en sus instrumentos ha mejorado considerablemente y se logra crear una atmsfera que combine aspectos de su msica de antao con elementos ms meldicos.
Yo lo incluira dentro de los mejores de Genesis, aunque personalmente encuentro mejor a su siguiente album, Wind And Wuthering.

Las variaciones Goldberg sin duda han sido de las obras de Bach que ms inters han despertado en mltiples msicos; al grado que hasta la fecha he encontrado 4 versiones distintas (vindolas desde el punto de vista de los  instrumetnos empleados). Existe la versin original para clavicordio, la  transcripcin para piano, una interesante para orquessta de cuerdas y  finalmente esta fabulosa pieza de Rodarmer, que utilizando varias guitarras  de diversos tonos en grabacin simultnea, logra un efecto extraordinario,  dando a esta obra un nuevo punto de vista. Para quien apenas empieza,  resulta una excelente introduccin a las variaciones Goldberg, mientras que  para el conocedor resulta un punto de comparacin obligado.

Excellent CD. Enjoy. I fully agree with the critics that have stated that Claudia is the most beautiful instrumental bolero ever composed; Paquito and Arturo Sandoval get together in this Chucho Valdes composition. This album was recorded after Sandoval left Cuba, and is a Reunion since Sandoval and Paquito had not seen each other for about 10 years. There is also some excellent percussion from Giovanni Hidalgo in the Congas.

Conversando con Luis Advis, compositor chileno, me cont el trabajo que realiz con las "Dcimas" de Violeta Parra, sacando parrafos o lineas de distintas partes de esa obra y haciendo adems parrafos nuevos  propios basandose en el estilo de Violeta, musicaliz los textos, aadi  Gracias a la Vida e hiz este hermoso homenaje. Esta es la segunda cantata,  continuando lo realizado en la Cantata Santa Mara junto al Quilapayn, y  luego terminara la triloga con "Los Tres Tiempos de Amrica",  que grabaron en 1988 Paloma San Basilio y Quilapayn.

A mi Luis Miguel me encanta, especialmente desde que lo escuche cantando los boleros de mi epoca.  Yo sonaba con que alguien lo hiciera y cuando lo escuche por primera vez no lo podia creer.  Este su nuevo disco esta fabuloso, su orquesta es de primera y el mariachi ni se diga.  Sus interpretaciones sencillas, en especial La Bikina son fabulosas.  El maestro Ruben Fuentes debe sentirse muy orgulloso por la interpretacion de Luis Miguel de esta su bella composicion.  Los medleys de los boleros son fabulosos y luego los toques nuevos en sus viejas interpretaciones.  Bueno, no podemos pedir mas.  Luis Miguel, te luciste de nuevo!  Gracias por tan maravillosa produccion.  Es una pena que no vengas mucho por el area metropolitana de Washington DC, yo solo he ido a un concierto tuyo y seria bueno que vinieras otra vez.  Felicitaciones de nuevo.

If you own "Solo", then you must also buy "Fantasmas".  Those two albums are Willie's best solo projects.  On "Solo" the instrumentals Chinacubana, Colonizaciones and Julia are superb (especially Chinacubana).  The song "Juancito" tells a familiar story as does "Mentiras Tuyas".  I love the entire album.  I love the length of the songs and even if you do not speak Spanish (fortunately for me I do), you will appreciate the crisp clarity of the timbales, bongos, congas, tumbadoras and horn section throughout both albums.  "Solo" is definitely a Latin/Jazz classic which belongs in everyone's collection.  If you buy "Solo", get "Fantasmas" too.  You won't be disappointed.

Band leaders Adrian Quesada of Grupo Fantasma and Martin Perna of Antibalas have teamed up once again for another album from their band known as Ocote Soul Sounds.

The group teamed up in 2005 with "El Nino Y El Sol" and within the four year span, the band has evolved into a seven piece ensemble with a total of three albums released.

Their third album (which will be released on Aug. 24th) titled "Coconut Rock" features a song that emphasizes the group's Latin music but with grooves that include psychedelic afro-latin funk groove to Latin breakbeat rhythms.

Musical track which standouts on the album including the opening track "Vendendo Saude E Fe" featuring the group showcasing the beautiful vocals of Brazilian songstress Tita Lima.  While the first track is sensual and smooth, the second track "Vampires" showcases the band's appreciation of the funk-groove music that they are known for.  Percussion and brass horns are quite dominant in this track alone.

The third track "Tu Fin, Mi Comienzo" is just catchy, addictive and a song that inspires one to just stand up and dance.  One of my favorite tracks on the album that I have on replay.

The fourth track "Tres Ratas" showcases the organ with an underlying groove, while the fifth track "The Revolt of the Cockroach Peoples" exhibits some of that old school funk, B-boy style of sound with the brass horns.  The song is in honor of a famous book about the Chicano Moratorium in Los Angeles and Civil Rights movement and dedicated to the people who were part of the struggle.

The sixth track "Return of the Freak" has that smooth and sensual groove while the seventh track "Prince of Peace" is an upbeat track that sports various brass horns in tandem with the percussion.

The eighth track "Pan, Chamba y Techo" sports a full on vocal track that showcases that old school funk vibe.  While the ninth track "El Diablo y El Nau Nau" is derived from Cuban children's rhymes about the boogyman.

The final two tracks features "Coconut Rock" that showcases deep Afro beats and overall a mesmerizing track, while "Cara De Yo No Fui" is just all out funky.

What you hear on this album, is what you pretty much hear when the band plays live.  I was really impressed by the overall album.  Just a talented and energetic group of musicians!

Mesmerizing and soulful, `Coconut Rock' is the latest album showcasing the musical brilliance of Ocote Soul Sounds & Adrian Quesada.  Funky brass, Afro Beat in conjunction with modern and old school grooves with a touch of energy and musical vibrancy.

"Coconut Rock" is definitely an enjoyable album!

El sonido que tiene este album, es impresionante. La orquesta que toca le termino de dar los ultimos toques a los excelentes temas del legado de Montaner que hay en este CD.
Versiones espectaculares con una fuerza tremenda.
