Sigo Siendo Yo (Still Being Me) is not only the title of Marc Anthony's new hits collection, it's also a reaffirmation of his status as one of Spanish-language music's preeminent voices. The stirring set is balanced with sweeping ballads ("Ahora Quien," "Se Esfuma Tu Amor") and Anthony's true forte--scorching salsa numbers ("Valio La Pena," Tu Amor Me Hace Bien"). Still, everything is vividly enhanced by Anthony's astonshing vocal range. The disc's two new songs are a toss up: "Lo Que No Di" is overblown, overwrought and ponderous. In other words, a likely theme song for some future telenovela. First single "Que Precio Tiene El Cielo" is much better, highlighted by a sweet, slowly building salsa rhythm. Some hits--"Dimelo," "Muy Dentro De Mi"--are equally familiar in their English-language versions but benefit from richer performances en espanol--usually the case with Anthony's material. Also included--perhaps as a sweet bit of foresight--is "No Me Ames," Anthony's 1999 duet with future wife Jennifer Lopez. --Joey Guerra

4 out of 5 stars Great CD.......2007-04-01

A very good CD! Celos, Tu Amor Me Hace Bien and Que Precio Tiene El Cielo which is burning on the Radio in Boston is awesome, great musical Salsa arrangements on these songs...very intoxicating!

Lamento Jibaro...is a great sad Puerto Rican story with a nice old style musical arrangement which takes you back to the Island for those whom can relate and undertand the story behind the lyrics to this song.

A great CD for New Marc fans to endulge in his Spanish Music for starters.

I purchased this cd for my mother who is a HUGE Marc Anthony fan. This cd was okay but I wouldn't go out of my way to purchase another one. I was expecting so much more (new songs, etc.) from Marc. There were too many ballads and not enough salsa. He's had much better in the past.

The delivery was faster thatn what i expected and the CD was in perfect condition, thanks!

5 out of 5 stars Shakira's fans favorite.......2007-01-12

This is a perfect CD to have Shakira's hits collection.. i have been a huge fans of shakira since oral fixations era, so i started to seek her previous hits and I got this album and it is really gerat all songs are gerat.. but I prefer you to get the Live&Off the Record which is her live version of hits collection (she sang more beautiful there) but if u dont want the live version, this is a perfect CD for you. Go get this CD now, especially if you are a Shakira fans .

5 out of 5 stars Buenisimo!.......2006-11-29

It is amazing that a girl so young (29) and from a small costal city (Barranquilla) could have so many "exitos" in poco tiempo. As the title suggests, you will not get any English language hits and that is ok. Shakira's pre-Laundry Service music was far superior anyway (aunque Whenever is on this disc en espanol). My only qualm is that the live version of Donde Estan Los Ladrones is presented only. I like the studio version a great deal.

Shakira es una artista genia y este disco pruebala como dicho!

5 out of 5 stars The BEst Way to know HEr besides HEr HIPS.......2006-09-17

BY FAR THE BEST COLLECTION OF HER SONGS IN SPANISH. HER VOCAL RANGE SEEMS TO ME HITS A BETTER NOTE IN HER (AND MINES) NATIVE TONGUE. A BIT MESSY AT TIMES IN ENGLISH STILL ENJOYABLE. EVERYTHING THAT US LATIN AMERICANS LOVE ABOUT HER IS IN THIS COLLECTION. NOT TO BE OVERLOOKED OR MISSED HER EMOTION, HER SONGWRITING, JUST HER PERIOD.

5 out of 5 stars shaki.......2006-06-17

This is the only Shaki album I own. I love it because the whole thing is in Espanol! I prefer her singing in Spanish than English because she sounds so good. Great songs and bonus live songs also. I love it.

5 out of 5 stars The best collection.......2007-01-10

This is really a collection of the best of Juan Luis Guerra not like some others that claim to be and have some songs nobody has heard of.

5 out of 5 stars a GREAT compilation of hits from Juan Luis Guerra y 4.40!.......2005-10-12

For those of you unfamiliar with Juan Luis Guerra's music, this is a great opportunity for you to hear this wonderful man! He is considered one of the most beloved singers/songwriters/poets of the Dominican Republic. We are so lucky that he put his poems to song. Not only is he the king of el merengue (a popular dance music from the Dominican Republic). but he also showcases his abilities as a singer and musician in bachata (a slower, more sensual dance music), and ballads. He fuses traditional Afro/Latin rhythms with jazz and pop. Some great examples of this sound include "Frio Frio" (ballad), "Como Abeja Al Panal" (a combination of salsa/bachata/ballad), and "Rosalia" (just a great, energetic song!).

Please listen to this music. He is a legend, and is still very popular today, as a contemporary singer of merengue (with a large Christian flavor to his lyrics). Totally worth it! You will not be disappointed.

I wih I could make a review on this item, however I have never recieved it. I spent $20 approx. and I ordered it in June however July is nealy finsihed and I didnt received yet. I knew and I had to wait a bit longer because it was shipped from USA but I think that one month and a half is too much.

5 out of 5 stars CD.......2007-01-12

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.........

4 out of 5 stars NAT IN SPANISH.......2007-01-04

If your a Nat King Cole fan, and a Spanish Language music fan..you will love this...there is a certain charm in the way he pronounces the spanish, but NAT COMES THROUGH....I wish he had done more in this genra...some of this Mexican music is the very best...

4 out of 5 stars Not so much accent as intonation - still lovely music.......2006-07-19

A clarification, for those who think: 'I can't ABIDE bad accents!' What people are commenting on in these reviews may be described better as a less subtle or legato phrasing than his English style, tending to over-separate words and overemphasize consonants. In listening to these songs, I don't hear any words that are 'mispronounced' by most people's standards; there simply is an overall impression of a vaguely 'foreign' sound.

It does mar the performance slightly for those of us who treasure Nat King Cole for his smooth and seemingly effortless delivery. But don't let anyone's comments turn you away without listening to the samples for yourself. You may find yourself carried away after all.

4 out of 5 stars Nat en Espanol.......2006-07-06

I remember as a kid living in Colombia when this album came out. Some of the songs were current at the time and several others were old Latin American classics. Nevertheless, what made this album so great was Nat "King" Cole's terrific voice and his phonetic Spanish with a very heavy American English accent, which made it that much appealing. Every song was beautifully rendered. Great memories from a bygone era!

5 out of 5 stars MIS MEJORES CANCIONES.......2005-09-21

In the late 50's, Nat King Cole released two LP's, where he sings in perfect Spanish (With a slight accent of course), something that amazed all his fans world-wide. The songs contained in this CD, are the most popular ones and originate mostly from Mexico. Tracks like 'Las Mananitas' and 'Maria Elena' are considered as part of Mexico's folkloric history, having been written in the early 20th Century. To stun his fans even further, he also released another LP, where he sings in perfect French. For those who are bi-lingual, this CD is a must for their collection. The songs are beautiful, and the way Nat sings, will make any ladies toes curl upwards.

Just as any ABBA album, ORO is simply divine. It includes all their Spanish hits from Fernando and Chiquitita to Dame! Dame! Dame! (Gimme, Gimme, Gimme), Estoy soñando (I Have a Dream) and Al andar (Move On). All fifteen songs have great sound quality and are perfect to dance at party or simply to enjoy a nice evening with good music.
This is a MUST-HAVE for every ABBA Fan.

Es un disco esencial para todos los fanáticos de ABBA.

5 out of 5 stars Good music in ANY language!.......2007-05-03

I bought this cd for a couple of reasons. I am learning Spanish and knew I would enjoy the latin versions of these famous tunes; and, this weekend I'm going to see the hit musical "Mamma Mia" (saw it a few years back and LOVED it!!!) and I know this cd will get me revved up for the fun!

This cd contains several of my favorite ABBA songs---"Chiquitita", "Fernando", "La Reina del Baile" (Dancing Queen), "Estoy Sonando" (I Have a Dream) and "Mamma Mia" to name a few. In Spanish the songs retain all the charm and great pop sound of their English counterparts. You will not need to know Spanish (I know very little!) to enjoy the music. Good music will transend any language and it is certainly true of this set of chart topping 70s hits!

After hearing this cd, I am planning on buy "Mas Oro", another collection containing more latin music from ABBA. I definitely recommend this to ABBA fans!

4 out of 5 stars Oro - Golden in any language.......2006-09-26

ABBA in the seventies was a musical juggernaut sweeping the top 40 of mostly all international markets. South/Latin America though was not one of these markets. So ABBA decided then to re-release their songs in Spanish. The result was a smashing success that created a loyal fan base.

While Fernando, Chiquitita, and Mamma Mia translated quite fine, their version of "Conociendome, Conociendote" or "Knowing Me, Knowing You" was a little tougher, but still sounds good. Hasta Manana and Andante, Andante are two very pleasant and personal songs that hit that nerve previous hits accomplished. Even to the untrained Spanish speaker, Agnetha and Frida still sound very well.

5 out of 5 stars As Always, Top-Notch ABBA!.......2004-07-06

One of the joys of being into a group like ABBA is that every time you pick up one of their albums, you know that you'll be hearing a well polished piece of work. Not every single song may ring your bell, but it seems like there was always high quality work ethic put into each album.

This collection of ABBA's hits is one of their crowning glories that I think gets overlooked too often. The lyrics of hits like "Dancing Queen" and "Thank You For The Music" are translated beautifully into Spanish, retaining the original meaning of the song, and without awkward or incompetent rhymes.

One of my favorite tunes on this collection is "Dame! Dame! Dame! (Amor Esta Noche)," which we know as "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)." Out of all the sultry & saucy ABBA tunes, I always thought this song drove home the love-hungry theme better than any other. This Spanish cover captures the same exact passionate feeling, nothing diluted here!

There was a follow up to this CD called "Mas Oro," which was not bad at all, but paled in comparison to this collection. If you are even just a casual ABBA fan, "Oro" is worth going out of your way to buy.

5 out of 5 stars ABBA ORO is music to the ears !!!.......2004-04-08

This was the FIRST ABBA record I ever owned. Originally released in 1980, The LP originally titled GRACIAS POR LA MUSICA (Thank You For The Music) featured some of ABBA's big hits (and a couple of lesser known songs) sung entirely in espanol.

I must say (being a latino) that the girls sing wonderfully in spanish. The star vocalist on this album is Agnetha, since she sings most of the songs and her vocal work is superb. I prefer the spanish versions of CHIQUITITA, FERNANDO, THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC(Gracias por la musica) & GIMME GIMMIE GIMMIE (Dame Dame Dame) over the original english versions. Main reason being is that the vocals and harmonies are far more clearer and pristine in the spanish versions. Agnetha's voice sounds spotless in CHIQUITITA, GRACIAS POR LAS MUSICA, AL ANDAR (Move On), and DAME DAME DAME. We get to hear the delicacy and texture of her gorgeous voice more here than on ABBA's other albums. And since the songs here are not as textured and overdubbed like their english counterparts, we get to hear the delightful harmonies in all of their ABBA-esque splendour. Just listen to the chorus in CHIQUITITA and AL ANDAR and you will see what I mean. The english versions sound bigger but the spanish versions are crisper, less intense production-wise but far superior in vocal sound and texture. Frida also shines in FERNANDO, ESTOY SONANDO (I Have a Dream) and CONOCIENDOME CONOCIENDOTE (Knowing Me Knowing You).

With all of that said, I must also frankly state that the english version of DANCING QUEEN (La Reina Del Baile) is slightly better. Vocally the girls sound great but the overall production is slightly inferior. We don't get that intense and embellished musical production. LA REINA DEL BAILE sounds a bit watered down, less absorbing. However it's still a great song in any language and the girls devine voices and the timeless melody makes this one of the CD's showstoppers.

Commercial wise, the LP GRACIAS POR LA MUSICA was a world-wide hit- especially in Latin America and the first single taken off the album CHIQUITITA reached # 1 in Argentina, Mexico and my native Chile among several other countries. The CD version retitled ABBA ORO contains 5 songs not included in the album originally- FELCIDAD (Happy New Year), ANDANTE ANDANTE, SE ME ESTA ESCAPANDO (Slipping Through My Fingers), NO HAY A QUIEN CULPAR (When all is said and done) and RING RING. I must warn anyone reading this review that it's the cd with the black covering of ABBA ORO that contains the bonus tracks not the gold plated one. I happened to stumble upon both of them at a store here in TORONTO and I was able to purchase the 15 track ABBA ORO in BLACK.

And lastly, you don't need to know a word of spanish to appreciate this cd. The melodies are timeless and the girls voices are astonishing. This needs to be right next to your ABBA GOLD cd. It's simply FANTASTICO! !

    3 out of 5 stars Tabacco y Chanel.......2007-03-15

    I bought this CD for this song. While most of the other songs are good, some are less so. This is a mix, as a CD I was disappointed. I do love the song Tabacco y Chanel and would like to hear more like that from Bacilos.

    This is a good cd for those who want to know why Sonora Dinamita is considred one of teh best Cumbia bands. Great cd, great band.

    5 out of 5 stars Ritmo...Rythm!!!.......2002-05-03

    La Sonora Dinamita has been for years putting on smooth, erotic, rythms. I dare someone to listen to this CD and not move to the beats and rich sound of this Columbian group. From the jazz-like, scratchy voice of Lucho Argain to the seductive voices of the women on this disc. These songs are classics, in a league of thier own. La Cucu a favorite to many is a song that will leave you wanting another play just so you will hit the dance floor again. If you love cumbia, REAL cumbia, then you will love La Sonora Dinamita.

    5 out of 5 stars For cumbia lovers.......2000-04-20

    If you realy want to dance and shake your body without a break? Listen this CD. La Sonora Dinamita has the best "CUMBIAS". It will drive you crazy, specially when you listen El Viejo del sombreron.

    This is a good Cd if you love Chayanne's songs and don't have all his cd's. All the songs are beautiful as he is. I enjoy listening to it over and over again.

    5 out of 5 stars "Nobody's Stars are in the sky, we are just workers down here" - Chayanne, Este Ritmo se Baila Así documentary 1988.......2005-07-06

    I've been a die hard fan of this man since he was in one of the original boy bands, Los Chicos. I have seen him change from the nice clean cut guy he was until the MAN he is today. As a huge fan and I am and always been, this record is a grea way for you to learn and enjoy him the same way I do every day. El Dicho dice, "Nadie es Profeta en su Tierra" but I really beg to differ.

    5 out of 5 stars 1 de los mejores de Puerto Rico/1 of the best of Puerto Rico.......2005-04-29

    Great song "Y tu te vas" best of all, SO HOT!!!! You can feel it deep in your veins, especially if you know Spanish as a native speaker. Se siente muy adentro hasta la fibra interior y hace vibrar las venas. "Quisiera" is also great song. Ricky doesn't come close. In fact, his not the best Puerto Rico offers, he's just good looking (or, should I say gringo looking?).

    4 out of 5 stars A good buy for fans of Latin pop.......2004-09-01

    Chayanne is not a great vocalist. Like Ricky Martin, he is really a nice, good-looking, entertaining showman. Likewise, Chayanne's recordings have been well produced, although some of the 1980s beats (especially Fiesta en America) havent aged that well (unless youre still into that). Overall its fairly standard Latin pop with good production values. The lyrics are generally corny and silly when you think about them (you might as well not), but at least the choruses are catchy, especially on the dance beats. Unless you are or become a die-hard fan, this CD is your best Chayanne sampler. It covers most of the hits and spares you of the rest.

    5 out of 5 stars CALIENTE!.......2003-08-02

    I'm not sure if my pulse is up because of the terrific songs and style or the gorgeous photos of Chayanne in the CD package. I don't speak Spanish but I don't think it is necessary. He has a very soothing voice, not terribly strong but he definitely handles ballads, salsa and uptempo numbers with ease. I don't know why he has not crossed over with more popularity, like Ricky Martin or Marc Anthony because he deserves it. If you saw the movie DANCE WITH ME-you know he is multi-talented beyond his striking looks.
