For Los Super Seven's second exploration of the Latin music diaspora, the focus shifts from Tex-Mex influences to the more Afro-driven rhythms of the Caribbean and South America. Joining returning members David Hidalgo and Cesar Rosas (of Los Lobos), Norteno notable Ruben Ramos, and Rick Trevino is Mavericks frontman Raul Malo, who honors his Cuban roots with a rich reading of Ernesto Lecuona's ballad "Siboney" and Beny More's lilting "Me Voy Pa'l Pueblo." Fellow country music artist Trevino proves his mettle as he yodels his way through an invigorating version of Alfredo Gutierrez's "Paloma Guarumera" and an equally infectious reading of Los Trio Matamoros' "El que Siembre su Maiz".
Elsewhere, Peruvian diva Susana Baca delicately delivers the sparse lullaby "Drumi Mobila" and tropicalia legend Caetano Veloso switches gears to Portuguese to revisit his elegant "Qualquer Coisa" and Os Mutantes' equally delicate "Baby." Other noteworthy cuts include Ramos's lively comical cover of "Compay Gato," Hidalgo's swirling, psychedelic-flavored English-language musical prayer "Teresa," and "Campesino," Rosas's chugging, self-penned tribute to Mexican farm workers. The highlight is "Calle Dieciseis," a simmering tale of a man looking back at his life amid a haze of lightly plucked guitar, relentless percussion and sotto voce lamenting by Hidalgo and Ramos.
CANTO was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Tropical Album.
Los Super Seven includes: Rick Trevino (vocals, guitar, mellotron); Caetano Veloso (vocals, guitar); Susana Baca, Cesar Rosas (vocals); David Hidalgo (requinto, tres, background vocals); Alberto Salas (piano, percussion); Wil Dog Abers, Ruben Rodriguez (bass); Cougar Estrada (drums, percussion); Billy West, Ruben Ramos, Raul Malo (background vocals).
Entertainment Weekly (3/16/01, p.68) - "...Draws from Cuba and South America...anchoring Cesar Rosas and David Hidalgo of Los Lobos....Several arrangements lean to the left, bringing to mind the Latin Playboys." - Rating: B+
CMJ (3/12/01, p.14) - "...Soothingly latin-romantic and joyfully percussive....tapping into Mavericks' singer Raul Malo's salsa-fied roots to croon a suave mambo..." Los Super Seven Canto Songs | 1. | Siboney | $0.99 | |

Purchase Canto CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Lady Gaga Fame Monster CDs (2009) Deluxe Edition
Canto album
 $16.25  
Initially planned solely as a standard double-disc reissue in the wake of the blockbuster success of The Fame, Lady Gaga decided to release the new material as a separate EP called The Fame Monster in addition to the standard two-CD set, where it's tacked onto a now standardized version of her debut. It's a nice move for fans, plus it helps emphasize the new material, which does act as a bridge from the debut to a forthcoming full-length. Everything on The Fame Monster bears a galvanized Eurotrash finish, as evident on the heavy steel synths of "Bad Romance" and the updated ABBA revision "Alejandro," as it is on the rock & roll ballad "Speechless" -- its big guitars lifted from Noel Gallagher -- and the wonderful, ...

Canto music CDs
$8.75  
At this stage of her career Mariah Carey does not need to prove herself, but her voice is so powerful that with each new recording she, once again, reminds you: "Listen to what I can do." Vocal gymnastics and Christmas songs are not often thought of as a compatible combination, but on MERRY CHRISTMAS Mariah jumps, climbs, crawls, twirls and dashes her way through both traditional fare and original Christmas songs.
She shifts through styles, offering fans from all musical camps a gift of their ...

| | White Bicycles: Making Music In The 1960S CD (2006) (Import) Germany
Canto music CDs
$48.59
This 23-song compilation, issued as a tie-in to producer Joe Boyd's autobiography of the same name, is sure to attract the attention of Richard Thompson fanatics, who will be drawn to the presence of the previously unissued "Church Mouse" by Dudu Pukwana & Spear; Thompson and Simon Nicol played with the African alto saxman on what was to be a major single release, but one that only made it out in South Africa, and only in partly finished form, as far as Boyd and the artist were concerned. Of course, those who love great guitar playing may also want to give a close listen to "Spanish Ladies Medley" by Dave Swarbrick, Martin Carthy, and Diz Disley, where the plucked instruments run thick and rich and reach into Django Reinhardt territory (and why does one get the feeling, listening to this, that if Reinhardt had lived Boyd would have gotten him in on this?). This is also the second major anthology release of 2006 to feature Vashti Bunyan, which must say something about her prominence in the pantheon of British folk artists of the 1960s, putting her alongside the Incredible String Band, Fotheringay, Fairport Convention, Shirley Collins, Nick Drake et al. -- not bad for a singer whose most visible and easily accessible piece of music 15 years ago was a fragment of an unreleased Immediate track on the soundtrack of the documentary ...
