The Best Tango Album in the World, Ever!

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Latin Music
by: Various Artists

April 01, 2003
It's not the Best Tango Album in the World Ever! But it's pretty darn good. This is NOT an album where all the songs sound the same; there is a remarkable variety in the song selection. You'll hear everything from vocals, like Gardel's Volver, to Fuga Y Misterio performed by The 12 Cellists of the BPO, a strange but enchantingly beautiful selection. I highly recommend this album, but there are two reasons you might not want to buy it. First, if you already own "Buenos Aires by Night" (EMI Odeon) you'll find that eleven of the songs appear on both albums, so look for an album without so much overlap. Second, if you are looking for tango dance music, you'll find that the tempo on many of the songs is not even enough to use for International ... Read More:

Tanto Tempo

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Latin Music
by: Bebel Gilberto

April 25, 2000
A friend played this CD for me on my last visit to Paris and I now associate Paris with Bebel's Tanto Tempo CD...even though she's Brazilian and the music is not Parisian. It just fit the time and place. You don't have to understand a word of what she's singing to understand what she's saying. I know nothing about Bossa Nova or Brazilian music but I got what she was portraying in these soulful and emotive songs. Just incredible and can put you in such a great positive mood! A must have for your collection if you are open to varied music tastes.

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Latin Music
by: Enrique Iglesias

March 25, 2008
Amazon doesn't have the correct list of songs on their page, and that drove me crazy, so I thought I'd share the list with others. My only complaint would be that "Alguien Soy Yo" is only on the DVD disc and not the CD.

Disc 1
1 Experiencia Religiosa 5:30
2 Si Tú Te Vas 4:02
3 Por Amarte 4:01
4 No Llores por Mí 4:08
5 Trapecista 4:25
6 Enamorado por Primera Vez 4:26
7 Sólo en Tí 3:30
8 Miente 3:34
9 Esperanza 3:10
10 Nunca Te Olvidaré 4:23
11 Bailamos 3:34

Gloria Estefan - Greatest Hits

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Latin Music
by: Gloria Estefan

November 03, 1992
This is the only Gloria Estefan I own. I generally can't stand disco/pop and while she's really Latin, she easily fits the pop category. But she's done some beautiful ballad/love songs and her dancing stuff accomplishes what it's supposed to...it makes me want to get up and dance. This CD contains everything Estefan has done that I'd ever want or need.

Arde el Cielo (CD + DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Latin Music
by: Mana

April 29, 2008
I went to 2 of Mana's concerts in Houston. Both times were just electric. While the video put me in the same atmosphere, I feel the song choice could have been a little better. Much of the album reminded me too much of the Mana en vivo album with much of the song selection coming from that album (el rey, vivir sin aire, rayando el sol, and donde jugaran los ninos (loved that one though)). I do wish they had a couple of Alex songs from the Amar es Combatir album as well as other big hits. Maybe even show the Alex solo from PR. If you didnt go to the concert and bought this DVD you're totally missing out on some of the best stuff. If they came out with a part 2 with some of the other songs, I know it would be better than part one. Even the Accesso Total had a better ... Read More:

Gira: Me Veras Volver 2

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Latin Music
by: Soda Stereo

October 28, 2008
Something just quite wasn't right about both "El Ultimo Concierto" releases in 1997. It had the songs, it had the fans, it seemed like the perfect goodbye release, but there was something that didn't quite click. I had always wondered what that was, and until the Me Veras Volver tour was released on CD and DVD i found out: it was lacking passion!

Because the band ended in such terrible terms in 1997, the goodbye tour back then seemed more like a responsibility to Sony BMG records rather than something the three of them were dying to do. The Me Veras Volver Tour release highlighted this in a massive way. It has all the elements that make a live album great, but it also has a magical element to it, with Gustavo, Zeta and Charlie playing with passion and ... Read More:

Vince Guaraldi - Greatest Hits

I've had this CD in the player for weeks now! Even when I change the other CDs, I continue to leave this one in the number one spot! It's impossible to grow tired of it! Great light jazz! Makes for perfect ambiance music. If you don't own any other Guaraldi CDs, this is an absolute!
