Summary: Improves on repeated listening
Comment: after hearing the colplay clocks & as a big fan of cuban style music I couldnt wait to receive this
album.
Firstly I was really really disappointed.....on first listening most of the songs
sounded clumsy & badly matched with the cuban backbeats.Its like they took the original track & just
put some cuban stuff over the top & didnt really "blend" it.
However after quite a few
listenings (I was very determinded!!) I got used to it & grew to like some of them, although the U2
one just sounds wrong wrong wrong! I think the ones that work best are the totally cuban ones - the
covers of well known songs done in a total cuban style
Dont get me wrong its not a total bad
buy there are some good tracks on there & it makes good background music, but for me to totally like
it I had to listen to it many times

Summary: Excellent crossover
Comment: I would just echo what's been said here already - great album and everyone who hears it wants to
know where I got it. I picked it up in Peru earlier this year where I heard several tracks playing
in shops and on the radio, and tracked it down. It's a great introduction for newcomers to Salsa /
S.American beats, some tracks work really well at a party - plus a contribution to climate change.
Put together by credible artists it stands up to repeat listening.

Summary: Geat Latin versions of popular tracks
Comment: I love this CD! I'm already a Latin music fan and have about hundred Latin CD's which includes
Cuban music and Buena Vista Social Club. While this album might not be as great as the original Ry
Cooder production, it's certainly great to listen and dance to. I think that the conversion of
popular English music tracks into Cuban rhythms was done very sympathetically and simply works in
almost all cases. I like the surprise element with "Clocks" when it starts like the original and
then suddenly turns into Salsa. I also respect Sting for singing in Spanish. I believe that this
album will make Latin music more accessible for people that don't normally listen to it. I know
that I will play a few tracks of this album at my wedding, as my H2B and I can salsa to it and our
guests will still enjoy the music as they are familiar with it, whereas they might be a bit
alienated if we play pure Salsa for a long period of time. The only track that I don't like is the
"Killing me Softly" track, but then I'm personally sick of the English version anyway and others
might like it. "Dancing Shoes" takes some getting used to, but I can imagine it works at a party
and is simply good fun. The fact that some of the proceeds go to a course is also a good incentive
to buy this CD.
I hope there will be more like this soon...

Summary: Money well spent- in more than one way!
Comment: I haven't bought a CD in absolutely years, but the moment I saw this on sale I knew that I was going
to buy it- more than 1 in fact! I think that the fact that this album was produced with the aim of
promoting awareness into climate change issues is admirable and worth the cost of a CD. I realise
that others may think that you could have given the money straight to the charity, but
realistically, there are fewer people that are going to do that, than buy a good CD.
With
regards to the music, I have yet to find any one of my friends that haven't asked me where to get
this CD because they love the tracks. I am just waiting for the next one to come out now!
You
won't be disappointed- with either the music or the sense of satisfaction of having spent money for
a good cause!
