Latin Jazz Music

Samba artist love to cover each others songs, more often than not their covers are just as cool as the originals. Take the cover version of Voce Abosu on Sergio Mendez and Brazil 66's great LP Vintage '74. Just think that Voce Abosu is one of the greatest Samba songs ever written. I most curious at what the orginal sounded like. So I looked through Antonio Carlos Jobims entire catalog and I couldn't find it for the life of me. I found an LP Antonio Carlos & Jocafi but it wasn't listed in Tom Jobims discography. Little did I know that Antonio Carlos and Antonio Carlos Jobim are two different people. go Figure! Now that that is settled This comp was the only one available , luckily it has Voce Abosu on it

This is a great comp, especially for the price with some steller unkown in the US songs. These guys wrote great melodies in simple structures. Keep in mind these tracks sound very 70's and even get a bit rock singer/songwriter era at times. But you can still play your cuica along with it.

But geez that cover has to Go! The original LP that had Voce Abosu on it a Killer psychadelic cover that is to kill for (the orginal LP on ebay went for $50.00+, and I'm sure that cover had much to do with it!)

This album is hot, only if you like latin music and only if you understand the rich latin background. It has Marc Anthony, Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez, and a ton more. Latin music to me, adds a little zany twist to music, it just makes it hotter, get this to satisfy your firey latino appetite.

Your feet can't wait to dance! Great music, great artists, great rhythm!

This is an excellent album. I definetly reccomend it. I actually bought it when I was living in Ecuador for $1 as a copy, but I think I am going to buy a better version through Amazon.com. There is such a good variety of songs, and it will definetly get you moving. What is nice about this CD is that it is a good sample of Latin music in case you want look into buying more music by a particular artist. I will have to say my favorite song on the CD is track 2, "El Album." It is just such an interesting song with its Columbian folksong roots. I could listen to this CD over and over because of the variety and great sound. Definetly a good buy!!

Being a big Tito Puente fan I found this to be one of the best lp's that he has made in a long time. This Anniversary record has everything you want if you are into latin music. To the very fast moving Algo Nuevo to slow moving Que Seas Feliz. I never get tired of listening to him and this album shows you why Tito Puente is the King Of The Timbales.
