About the Artist
Formed in the summer of 1995, the band Main Attraction is a young group conisting of 5 highly energetic members who all hail from the island of St.Maarten. Their first break came in 1998 when the band competed in the 2nd Annual Aruba World Youth Festival. The band which was representing St.Maarten, completely sweeped the music awards taking the top spot amidst a highly competetive field of groups including the previous year's winners: USA.

With this momentum the band recorded their debut album, and now 2 years later have put together what they feel is their defining album, one that shows their maturity and versatility.

Sales in the Caribbean have been tremendous and they are currently looking for record labels and distribution agencies to aid them in taking their music to more of the world.

Band Members:
Tyrone Phelipa , Leader - Keyboards/woodwinds/lead arranger
Edsel Eusebius, Vice-Leader - Bass guitar/vocals
Arnaldo Phelipa, vocals/steelpan
Jacob Streefkerk, lead & rhythm guitar
Jasmir Abdul-Hamid, vocals

Product Description

5 out of 5 stars had me in stitches.......2007-06-07

lopez takes me back to my own childhood life....and some of the memories are very funny. I can relate to his up bringing. Life was not eazy, back in my time.

4 out of 5 stars Disappointed, but still good.......2007-05-12

I bought all 3 CD's at once, having only heard Right Now Right Now before and had high hopes. Something changed in this one. They end was really preachy which is not at all the George I've grown to love. He is usually successful at supporting Hispanics without pushing anyone else down. This one felt kind of anti-white (or anyone else) at the end. It's still a good CD, but after loving the other 2 so much the bar was set kind of high and this one didn't make it. If you're choosing between them get one of the other ones, if you want all things George Lopez then this should be in your collection.

5 out of 5 stars Tears in my eyes..!!!.......2007-03-16

I was there at the tapeing at the Ice House in Pasadena,CA and it was a great show,and it's even better to relive it again and again and share
it with my friends.My son even said he could hear me laughing !!!!!

4 out of 5 stars George is El Mas Chingon for this cd.......2007-02-09

This is one of George Lopez' better cd's, funny and entertaining. I definitely recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars Linda or Lola?.......2007-05-26

Who is a better ranchera singer, Linda Ronstadt or Lola Beltrán? Lola has a deeper voice, but both can certainly belt out a song! It's hard to say who is better. It's like choosing between Pavarotti and Plácido Domingo.

The sad fact, though, is that the fidelity of most of Lola's albums is very low...they sound like they were recorded on a home tape recorder. And since she has now passed away, there will never be any new recordings.

5 out of 5 stars Mas Canciones.......2005-09-07

Linda Ronstadt, has done it agian. Very good music you can join your friends around a fire and just enjoy her songs for hours.

5 out of 5 stars Authentic Mexican.......2005-03-10

Original Review 9 March 2005

I am not a Mexican, but I have circulated for years in the Mexican parts of Los Angeles, and I have travelled throughout Mexico, enjoying the native musicians on street corners and in parks and cafes. I have always wondered about those who praise Lola Beltran as the "great" Mexican singer. She sounds too urbane and too international to me--in the manner of Catarina Valente. I always thought the real spirit of Mexican music was better represented by such as Las Hermanas de Alba. And now Linda Ronstadt carries on the true Mexican tradition in her later work. Whatever else she may have sung in her career, I find in Linda's Mexican singing the authentic flavor of Old Mexico.

Update 17 May 2006

Last night as I was browsing the reviews of this record, I got curious about the various comparisons to Lola Beltran. Not having listened to Lola for quite some time, I went through a stack of stuff from both Linda and Lola to refresh my ear.

My conclusion. Lola is good, but Linda is better.

Linda has a much broader emotional range. With all of her musical excelence, Lola has a dreadful sameness from song to song--even songs which should be handled quite differently. For example, It is quite disconcerting to hear Lola back to back on "Ya No" and "Me equivoque contigo"--songs which should be very different in emotional tone sound all too similar. As it happens, I heard the latter song on the radio a few days ago by a male artist. His rendition shoots Lola's down the drain.

By contrast, Linda's emotional range is both subtle and immense. For example, from her "Tata Dios," which wrenches me to tears every time I hear it, to the mock seriousness of her "El toro relajo," which is always worth a good laugh. After reviewing a batch of Lola's work this morning, I can't imagine her ever having such an effect on me. Lola still strikes me as a city person trying to sing country. Whatever else Linda may have done in her life, she somehow manages to dig her toes into the true country soil of Old Mexico.

Viva Linda!

5 out of 5 stars Let the sun shine in..........2005-01-13

I don't know the first thing about the "authentic" style of this music, the native singers, or if Linda has the correct spanish phrasing... All I know is that when I play this CD, a little bit of sunshine enters my gray Philadelphia winter days, and it makes me want to do a bit of dancing! (And I'm sure my dancing isn't the least bit "authentic"...) Plain and simple, this CD is just a lot of fun.

5 out of 5 stars MAS CANCIONES.......2004-09-02

THIS IS A WONDERFUL CD, I ALSO HAVE HER FIRST CD CALLED CANCIONES DE MI PADRE, BOTH ARE GREAT. SONGS . I AM A MARIACHI FAN. IAM ALSO MEXICAN AND LINDA SINGS GREAT IN SPANISH. I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH ANYONE THAT SAYS ANY DIFFRENT. WE HAVE ALOT OF SPANISH (MEXICAN ) SINGERS. THAT CALL THEMSELF SINGERS AND DONT EVEN COME CLOSE TO THEY WAY LINDA SINGS. I HAVE PLAYED THIS CD AT PARTYS AND MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY WANT TO KNOW WHO SHE IS, THEY LOVE HER SINGING AND THEY LOVE THE SONGS THAT WERE SELECTED.

Ask anyone who's attended one and they'll tell you: there's nothing quite as colorful--and emotionally melodramatic--as a Greek wedding. Based on Winnipeg actress-comedian Nia Vardalos's one-woman show and brought to the screen by Rita Wilson and husband Tom Hanks, the film tells (with some parallels to Moonstruck) the story of a thirtysomething Greek spinster for whom falling in love with a "Xeno" (non-Greek) is surely the easiest part of a wedding that more than lives up to its billing. The film's soundtrack perfectly captures those swirling clouds of ethnic and romantic tension. Its first half largely sets up the rich cultural atmosphere with a lively sampling of traditional Greek folk music (featuring selections by Alexandros Xenofontos, John Tsifliklis, Eman, Nick Kutsukos, Daghan Baydur, and Richard Thomas), while the score proper from Alexander Janko (with help from Chris Wilson) slyly segues from similar fare ("Moose Caca," "Yasoo," "Yiayia") to more traditional orchestral film music. That sometimes electro-pastoral, compelling music has parallels with Rachel Portman's and offers the collection a sense of emotional completion. --Jerry McCulley

1 out of 5 stars Great disappointment on amazon's shipping method.......2007-07-07

I had ordered this particular CD. However, After the second tried. i am yet to receive the CD. And i was really hoping the second CD could appear in my doorstep on the expected arrival date or 1 week later.

To be honest, This is the first time i didn't manage to receive my good from E-commerce Portal. I totally didnt expect this happen from reputable Amazon.

Nonetheless. I must admit your friendly customer service, they are always willing to assist me to reprocess or the refund the marchant.

Please kindly review your shipping method. or perhaps let me know what had happened to my shipping address or my goods. so i could still have confident to make purchase on your website again.

5 out of 5 stars The Greek Music-.......2006-02-10

The cd is so phenomenal. The music is so traditional and it show so much of the greek culture. The bouzoki that they use which is a greek instrument was such a musical sound. In my school we are doing a GREEK PRESENTAION and we are going to use this music. We will dance to it and are going to be a success. So overall this is a superlative cd after all!!!!!!!!!!

I loved the strong rhythms and colorful harmonies of the traditional Greek numbers. The film score is lyrical but bland. This truly is a combination of "apples and oranges!"

This is a great instrumental CD! Not only great greek music that you can get up and dance to, but also the soft contemporary songs that you can just relax with. I enjoy it very much!

The first CD I received did not work as a CD on one side (it was a DVD on the other side). However, when it was returned, a new one was replaced in very good time and it worked perfectly.

4 out of 5 stars Very Good!.......2006-11-21

Not the type of bachata I like to listen but this is the only pair of new bachateros that i would listen to.That being said im alittle old school when it comes to hispanic music and that goes for bachata and i would not buy any of their albums UNLESS IT WAS THIS ONE,THEIR GREATEST HITS album it has all their hits w/o wasting your money on all of the rest filler material that comes in todays albums. The only album to get from Monchy and Alexandra.

5 out of 5 stars beautiful...............2006-08-14

If you want a good introduction to the beautiful music of Monchy y Alexandra, this is the album to buy! Not only do we hear some of their biggest hits ("Hoja en Blanco," "Te Quiero Igual o Mas Que Ayer," "Dos Locos") we also hear examples of their great body of work that not everyone might have heard ("Pasion," "Hasta El Final," as a couple of examples). Those of you not familiar with bachata, this is one of the most beautiful styles of music from the Caribbean. Bachata comes from the Dominican Republic, and is a rhythm based romantic style of music/dance. You hear a combination of percussion of guitar, and, with Monchy y Alexandra's music, comes influences spanning various styles of music (blues, jazz, Middle Eastern).

This beautiful duo combines their passionate expression as musicians, as well as a distinctive style that makes them stand out from other vocalists in the world of bachata. You won't be disappointed.........

This collection includes Ernesto Lecuona's complete 1954 recordings plus a series of 78s made in 1927-28. Ten of the recordings were previously unreleased. This is a lot of lightweight Cuban piano music to deal with at once, but it's definitely worth doing. Lecuona's music, which is having a major revival, may not be important. But it's consistently charming and entertaining. The 78s, which sound surprisingly good, reveal even more of a virtuoso than do the later recordings, but throughout we hear playing that expresses the spirit of the music extremely well. And yes, the famous Malagueña is here, sounding very sexy. --Leslie Gerber

5 out of 5 stars Lecuona Plays Lecuona.......2007-05-12

Oh Boy! What can I tell you about this magnificent collection of musical jewels from our Maestro Lecuona. I bought the original Long Playing Record back in the 50's in my country.
I purchased it again shortly after my arrival to the US, and I was lucky enough to buy it on DVD from Amazon, once I found out they had it.

5 out of 5 stars Lecuona the Cuban pianist is Great!.......2005-08-17

In my opinion this is one of the best CD's from Lacuona, Most of his piano compositions are recorded here (original ones), What, Ms. Leslie Gerber forgot to mention is that Mr.Lecuona was a band leader,"Lecuona and the Cuban Boys", remembers him? Or maybe she does not have sufficient information about him. The music from Lecuona still is very well alive today. I came across his recordings on my own, no one ever told me about this great pianist. I happened to hear the Malague?a by another great Cuban composer and band leader Perez Prado (The Real Mambo King) in one of his albums and Lecuona was the author. That got me interested in him. I'm pretty sure that Ms.Leslie Gerber does not mean any harm trying to put this composer down. It's just that maybe all she knows is Gerber baby food stuff!

4 out of 5 stars The Cuban Chopin.......2004-06-18

What a great album and great value. There is music here that will make you smile, break your heart, inspire you, and Lecuona's skill is breathtaking. If you enjoy classical piano music (with a Cuban/Spanish influence), you'll love this. No, it doesn't display the virtuosity, complexity or seriousness of Lizst, Chopin or Beethoven, but it's fun, beautiful, dramatic yet accessible. You'll love it.

5 out of 5 stars Lecuona, the musical genious . . . . ........2002-10-16

I feel compelled to identify myself first. I am Cuban born who arrived in the US in 1960 at the age of 16 years old. I am a US citizen since 1965 and a US Army Veteran of Viet Nam. I will die defending the right Ms. Leslie Garber has of expresing her opinions. But what I will not condone is her ignorance. To say that Lecuona writes "lightweight Cuban piano music" and that "Lecuona's music may not be important" is to show ignorance. A musician that composes GREAT music in several genres of the music world, a musician that in all genres has highly succesful pieces, and, a musician that after many years, (70-80 years) is still heard and admired can not be called other than MUSICAL GENIOUS and a CLASSICAL MUSICIAN. His music is so beautiful that it will live forever. From his Afro-Cuban compositions, to his romantic popular boleros, to his valses, to his Zarzuelas, Lecuona demonstrates once and again, time after time his immense musical talent. His Afro-Cuban "Cafetal", his romantic boleros "Noche Azul" and "Amapola", His vibrant and colorful "Comparsa" and "Andalucia", his classical Valses, just to mention a few things, makes Lecuona to stand together with the great musicians of the world. The fact that Hollywood made a film around "Estas en mi corazon" and that great singers, like Placido Domingo, want to sing Lecuona's music speaks immensely well of Lecuona/s greatness. The fact the popular instrumental orchestras like Faith, Conniff, Mantovani, Cugat have arranged and interpreted a lot of Lecuona's music also says a lot about Lecuona's versatility in his work. Lecuona is probably important to many millions of people and his music is certainly not lightweight. And if the only thing Ms. Garber can say about "Malaguena" is that "it sounds very sexy" is to demonstrate that she does not know a thing about music. It definitely does not give her the priviledge of commenting about Lecuona's music.

5 out of 5 stars LECUONA IS NO LIGHTWEIGHT.......2002-02-27

Lecuona is one of the most important composers of Latin-America. He is by no means the "unimportant" and "lightweight" Leslie Gerber (whomever that may be) claims, having been hailed for performances of his earlier (and "less mature") works by the likes of Maurice Ravel.

In my opinion the highlight of the set is the devilish "La 32". It's also interesting to compare his interpretations of the same works at different times in his career, like the two recordings of "Por que te vas?" and "Amorosa", especially keeping in mind that Lecuona seldom notated and improvised quite frequently, leaving the transcription work to his students.

4 out of 5 stars La Fea Mas Bella Soundtrack.......2007-01-17

If you love the series, you will love the soundtrack. Can't wait for the DVD to be released!

4 out of 5 stars Not at all "disappointing".......2006-07-19

Yes, that's how it's spelled; one S and two Ps. I too would have liked for the CD to have included the closing theme that Camil and Vale sing together, but I enjoy the other songs on the disc and listen to it over and over again. I suppose that if you're thinking about buying this CD you should listen to the clips first and then decide.

1 out of 5 stars Dissapointing.......2006-07-14

Dont bother getting this CD. I thought it would include the song performed by Angelica Vale and Jaime Camil shown at the end of the show, instead I ended up with a poor sound quality CD and the only decent song is the one performed by Banda El Recodo: El Club de las Feas. How dissapointing!!!!!!

    5 out of 5 stars Top Quality Christian Music.......2007-06-05

    Marcela Gandara's debut album is an absolute knock-out!!!!!!!! Her voice is fascinating; her phrasing is right on the money and her soft and pleasant spirit is felt throughout the entire CD.
    On top of this (if that wasn't enough), the majority of the songs are written by Jesus Adrian Romero -and some by Marcela herself-, and the Producer here is Master Jazz Guitarist Kiko Cibrian; these two additions are the perfect combination for an outstanding recording.
    I've been listening to Christian music in Spanish for many years now, and I can mention without exaggeration that this is perhaps the best Christian album ever recorded by a female singer - BY FAR -. If you doubt it, get your CD and give it a try, that's all it'll take.

    P.S. Cuts like: "Supe Que Me Amabas", "Mas Que un Anhelo" and "Tu Palabra" shook me at the very core of me; they're amazing.

    5 out of 5 stars her voice is amazing. .......2006-11-16

    This cd is great! the songs are very inspirational. the acoustics in it are very clear and delightful. i can listen to it over and over! Marcela is the next big thing for spanish chrisitan music.

    5 out of 5 stars Simplemente Genial.......2007-06-13

    Soy un guitarrista venezolano, y considero que Todos los Venezolanos deberian de comprar este disco por obligacion, jamas habia escuchado un trabajo tan bueno, y que recopile todo el sentido de la musica venezolana que ademas de estupenda es dificil de tocar.
    Simplemente genial..! es el mejor disco de guitarra clasica que he escuchado en mi vida..!

    5 out of 5 stars Marvelous!.......2006-08-09

    If you like both beautiful melody and rhythm of the Latin American sort, you will like this recording. If you like solo classical guitar of the supremely virtuosic sort, add that into the equation (plus a few excellent duets). These pieces are played with an uncanny rhythmic precision that does not sound mechanical. They are played elegantly, eloquently and with feeling neither overstated nor understated. Bear with me, because it is impossible to do justice to this beautiful recording with mere words. It is among my favorite recordings of all time - I never tire of listening to it.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent interpretation.......2006-03-18

    John Williams shows, once again, his guitar mastery in this album. Nice surprise to have few pieces accompanied by a "Cuatro".

    I consider Alirio Diaz' interpretations of Venezuelan guitar music to be the gold standard, and yet I was happily surprised by John's version of these pieces.

    5 out of 5 stars amazing!.......2005-06-20

    I discovered this record by chance. I had followed the work of John Williams for some time, but I never suspected that he had recorded Venezuelan music. John Willimas not just plays Venezulean music superbly but also catches the genuine spirit of it in all its sense.
    If you like Venezuelan music this is definitely a jewel you must have. And If you haven't listened to it before I can't imagine a better way to be introduced to it.

    5 out of 5 stars Brilliant!.......2005-06-03

    Yes!!
    I think John Williams always wanted to do things that branched out from the 'classical' classics, but went silly with Sky. Here, is the happy medium!! He plays these songs with a fun-spirited nature, non-seriouso, with glissandi, fast tempi, strong rhytmic drive. I still like the Gerald Garcia reccordings (Latin American Guitar Music, Naxos) a real lot, but i think that Williams plays them in the true Venezolano spirit. 4.925719/5

    I've listening to Charles Aznavour music since I was very young. Now, that I am older I am still listening to him and I am ejoying the songs as I did twenty years ago. I will never get tired of this singer. In every language that he has sang, all the songs are beautiful.
