3.0 out of 5 stars Musically Weak, February 27, 2006

This review is from: Bachata Con Puro Sentimiento (Audio CD)

I love Charlie Zaa. His voice is interesting and I find I rather enjoy it, despite its quirky quality. I also love bachata. One would think I would love this cd, howver I do NOT.

The music is nice, the vocals are nice. But Charlie Zaa is, it would seem, not especially talented when it comes to the Afro side of Afro-Latin music. Quite simply- he doesnt sing in rhythm. He is no sonero nor is he a bachatero. He does boleros and does them well, but absolutely does NOT adapt his singing to the rythmic structure of the bachata music. His timing and phrasing remain the same.
I am not sure if he is even to blame, it sounds like he sang songs and then someone in the studio plopped the vocal tracks down over a few bachata tracks. Initially, it isnt jarring but a few songs into the cd and you begin to notice that the singing remains the same even when the music changes.

This cd does neither Charlie nor bachata any justice. Pass it by.
