| | Bamboleo No Que Bueno Esta CD Bamboleo Discography of CDs
NO QUE BUENO ESTA contains 4 live tracks and a collection of Bamboleo songs remixed by DJs including Pistol Pete Lorimer and DJ Cubanito.
With the continued popularity of the Buena Vista Social Club, it seems that Cuban artists are in more demand than ever. If the polished skills of Bamboleo is any indication, the tiny island country still has plenty of great musical resources that have yet to be mined. Bamboleo specializes in a style known as timba -- a blend of jazz, salsa, soul, funk, and Afro-Caribbean rhythms. The first four tracks of Ño Qué Bueno Está, which were recorded live, are the album's highlight. The rich vocals of singers Vannia Borges and Yordamis M. Megret are a perfect counterpoint for the band's powerful, brass-filled arrangements. Unfortunately, the last six tracks of the album are mostly remixes of the group's other songs. For some reason, the album's producers feel the need to rely on DJ scratches and rapping to appeal to a new audience. If the Buena Vista Social Club has proven anything, it's that music fans want to hear Cuban musicians speak for themselves. It's too bad that this album doesn't understand that. ~ Jon Azpiri

Purchase No Que Bueno Esta CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Yo-Yo Ma Soul Of The Tango: The Music Of Astor Piazzolla CD (1997)
No Que Bueno Esta album
$12.15 SOUL OF THE TANGO received the 1999 Grammy Award for "Best Classical Crossover Album." 'Tango Remembrances' was nominated for the Award for "Best Instrumental Composition."
Cellist Yo-Yo Ma has branched out a lot in recent years, collaborating with artists from Bobby McFerrin to Bela Fleck, and this recording represents yet another way that Ma has single-handedly expanded the repertoire and opened our ears and minds to a new type of music. Ma states that the tango is a dance full of undercurrents, and in combination with many of the musicians that Piazzolla himself played with, he seems to slip easily between tango-inspired reverie and serious, almost murderously rhythmic dance.
Ma's enthusiasm for this Argentinean art form is audible in the dynamism he brings to each track. One of ...

| | Eduardo Fernandez Between Two Worlds CD (2005)
No Que Bueno Esta songs
$14.79 LABOR RECORDS RELEASESBETWEEN TWO WORLDSThe Latin, Folk, Classical and Pop worlds of guitaristEDUARDO FERNÃNDEZThe new Labor release from the great Uruguayan guitarist Eduardo Fernández ranges from the great masters of South American music - classical and folk - to the Beatles and George Gershwin. According to Fernández, no instrument is better qualified than the guitar, with its double citizenship, to cross the borders between popular, folk and classical music. And no musician is better positioned to make the point than this enormously talented guitarist. His recording is both a personal homage to the freedom to cross borders and a celebration of the instrument that makes it possible. From the great folk guitarist-composers of Argentina, Brazil and Colombia to modern masters like the Brazilian Heitor Villa-Lobos, the Argentinian Alberto Ginastera and the Cuban Leo Brouwer, from the guitarist's own arrangements of the Beatles to Brower's evocation of Afro-Cuban ritual to duet arrangements and performances of Gershwin and Ginastera by Carlos Barbosa-Lima, Fernández shows everywhere the kind of mastery, ease and command of a wide range of idioms that tears down borders and fences. Fernández was born in Uruguay in 1952 and began studying the guitar at the age of 7. His recorded repertoire is phenomenal; 31 recordings are currently listed ...
| | Pink Martini Sympathique CD (1997)
No Que Bueno Esta album
$13.89 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 ...

$16.39 Paulinho Pedra Azul is a talented composer, not much influenced by the electronic obsession in Brazilian popular music. He preferred to dedicate this album to a repertory of sad/romantic songs. "Ave Cantadeira" is a sorrowful cançao where the worst thing is the romantic backing with stereotyped saxes. "Pobre Bichinho" has more personality, keeping the sad tone. "Valsa do Desencanto" attempts a ...
