| | Mariana Montalvo Piel De Aceituna CD - Import Mariana Montalvo Discography of CDs
Chilean-born Mariana Montalvo might have lived in Paris since the Pinochet coup of 1973, but her heart is still with the nueva cancion movement that changed Latin music in the '60s and '70s. Poetic, often acoustic-based, it was a sound of the people. It's quite apparent on this record, whether in the gorgeously lulling "Ah Si Pudiese" or the brass band-propelled "Piel de Acietuna." Montalvo herself is a seductive singer, with just the merest hint of huskiness to her voice that brings a warmth to the music. Whether sounding quite traditional, as she does on "Mal Que Mata," or bringing in new elements with the reggae-fied "Sud' Americano" (which ends up coming across as an AAA version of Manu Chao, curiously), she's always convincing and committed, with a backing that's sympathetic but never obtrusive. Her duet with Congolese singer Lokua Kanza on "Encuentro" connects the dots between Latin America and Africa, while her take on Jacques Brel's "La Canción de los Amantes" does the same for her homeland and Europe -- and offers a sense of her two homes, spiritual and temporal. ~ Chris Nickson

The first album by Portland, Oregon's tongue in cheek lounge pop orchestra Pink Martini, SYMPATHIQUE, was originally released in 1997 on the band's own Heinz label. Although the album contains two originals by singer China Forbes and pianist Thomas Lauderdale, the title track and "Lullaby," the bulk of the album's 12 songs consists of new arrangements of loungy favorites like "Never On Sunday," "Que Sera Sera," "Brazil," and "Song of the Black Lizard," taken from the soundtrack of a Japanese cult film. Unlike contemporaries such as Combustible Edison, Pink Martini had the musical chops and heartfelt love of the style to keep the album from descending into snarky kitsch. In 2009, Heinz Records released the first ever vinyl edition of the album.
Recorded at Stiles Recording Studio, Portland, Oregon, from December 1996 to April 1997.

Yasmin Levy has proved herself to be the leading exponent of Ladino song (Ladino is the language of the Sephardic Jews whose roots are in Spain). However, her previous albums have never quite captured her potential. This time, though, she's hit the spot, finding both the intensity of performance and delicacy of arrangement that's been her hallmark. The style is a mix of influences that blend perfectly -- listen carefully and you can hear traces of ...
