After Nocturna finished playing in my jeep, I couldnt help but Scream out loud with jubilation. This song left me breathless and stunned. The musicianship, vocals and musical compostion is outstanding. A ton of work and passion in this album. If you feel music's passion and emotion right down to your inner core, then you will love this cd.
I am sorry that i never found it earlier!
One word "wow"

Most people are only aware of Marie Claire as the song writer of Celine Dions `Falling Into You', (or many many other tracks for such people as KD Lang, Enrique, Robert Miles, The Corrs, Belinda Carlisle etc), or for her only hit single `Rhythm is Magic' in the mid 90's. If you love either song, then you really should buy this album. She is an incredible song writer and performer, and the album is filled with stunning vocals, on brilliant pop and beautiful ballad tracks. This album was released in 2 versions, this (in Spanish) and the English language version. Both are essential, as only half of each are on the other, therefore if you get both, you effectively have 2 different albums. Special mention goes to Falling Into You, the ORIGINAL version, of which Celine completely lifted the whole backing track including Maries' backing vocals, the stunning pop dance track, Magia del Ritmo (Rhythm is Magic), which has just be re-recorded / released in Europe for 2009, the gorgeous and moving Alma de Barro and Venteveo, and the teary Ojos de Mi Padre (My Fathers Eyes) amongst an album of very strong tracks.
For those who want even more, Marie Claire released a very hard to find debut album in Japan, which includes an early version of Burning Riovers, which is include don the English version of this album.

This is a truly fantastic CD, too bad she hasn't released an album in years, among my favorites "Hay un Carnaval", "Caigo un poco mas", "Alma de Barro" and "Voces".

I purchased Marie Claire D'Ubaldo's CD back when it was first released in 1994. It is by far one of my most cherished discs of all time. Every song on this album is rich, warm, exciting and full of life.

The CD "Alma De Barro" is very hard to find and is the only recording of hers that I am aware of. I have yet to come across anything else by Marie Claire D'Ubaldo which is unfortunate as her singing and writing talents are no less than amazing. If I ever lost my copy of this album it would feel as if a part of me was lost along with it. This is truly one CD worth buying... feel the passion!

Rythm Is Magic is my favourite song of all times. I would like to find other albums of Marie Claire D'Ubaldo because I'm sure they will be brilliant.
