Shake Away

El Cantante: The Originals
:Album Description:Héctor Lavoé continues to be source of tributes, covers, drama, and films. This collection of carefully remastered original songs affirms that the attention is well deserved.

Marc Anthony
: :Marc Anthony comes on like a suave, less jumpy alternative to Ricky Martin on this mostly English-language album. Having already introduced itself to the pop mainstream with the salsa-tinged single 'I Need to Know,' Marc Anthony offers several other obvious crossover hits, ranging from the Rodney Jerkins-produced Latin-funk fusion of 'She's Been Good to Me' to the lovelorn midtempo ballad 'When I Dream at Night.' However, Anthony's agreeably keening voice is too often applied to the sort of colorless adult-contemporary material typical of Michael Bolton ...

Roots of Chicha: Psychedelic Cumbias From Peru
: :In the early 70 s a new sound grew out of the booming cities of the Peruvian Amazon. Chicha, as it came to be known, modeled itself on Colombian Cumbia music but replaced the accordion with surf guitars, and incorporated the psychedelic sounds of Farfisa organs and Moog synthesizers as well as Cuban Guajira,and the distinctive pentatonic scales of Andean melodies. Unlike other modern hybrids, such as Ska or Brazillian Tropicalia, the music never crossed international borders. This is the first ever Chicha compilation ...

La Cantina
: : As a follow-up to her 2005 Latin Grammy win, Mexican-American diva Lila Downs has chosen to release a loving tribute to canciones rancheras, the heartfelt ballads ubiquitous in cantinas throughout Mexico. With their merry accordion riffs and perky snare-led rhythms, the tunes can be reminiscent of Cajun music or Colombian cumbias, but even the cheeriest numbers harbor fate-haunted undertones. The singer’s darkly sweet, resonant voice interprets each the fifteen tracks to a fare-thee-well. Her fiery South-of-the-border exhibitionism and touches of dry humor are mirrored ...

Marc Anthony - The Concert from Madison Square Garden
: :Marc Anthony brings his elegant passions to the Big Apple in this exciting 2001 concert performance. The dazzled audience erupts at the singer's knockout, Spanish-language openers, 'Y Hubo Alguien' and 'Contra la Corriente,' swoons to his exultant 'You Sang to Me,' and hangs on every marvelous syllable in the exquisitely phrased 'When I Dream at Night.' Anthony's material occasionally slides into bathos ('That's Okay'), but at his best he can go from big band salsa ('Nadie Como Ella') to Burt Bacharach-flavored pop-soul ('My Baby You') ...
