1.0 out of 5 stars The Best of Inti-Illimani, September 10, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Best of Inti-Illimani (Audio CD)
Formed in the late 1960's by university students and performing primarily in Chile through the exciting Allende years and then performing in exile through the frightening Pinochet years, Inti-Illimani became the leader of the Chilean "new song" movement. Using native instruments like the charango and quena, folk rhythms and harmonies, and varied themes, Inti-Illimani became the leading proponent of native music of Chile and the Andean highlands and, in a logical progression, then the leading proponent of folk-based music of social content and social statement. With Inti's varied and high-quality output, it is not possible to pick a "best" CD or even best song from this period.

Unfortunately, someone (probably in the distribution company) misnamed this CD. It cannot be called the "best" of Inti-Illimani because it is not a selection made from Inti's earlier folk-inspired or social content music. Sadly, it is not the "best" in the musical sense as well.

This CD appears to be an attempt to perform the complex sounds and rhythms of the music of Cuba and the Caribbean -- a difficult undertaking at best -- and it falls short in the endeavor. Rhythms, harmonies, and counterpoints are not maintained. They certainly do not come through well when played on the instruments of the highlands, which are not suited to this music. Melodic lines are hard to follow and, in several instances, actually cease to exist.

To call this CD the "best" of Inti-Illimani is a disservice to its earlier, and far finer, recordings. It is a substantial disappointment in almost all respects.

1.0 out of 5 stars I don't need to listen it, September 18, 2002

This review is from: Best of Inti-Illimani (Audio CD)
I don't need to listen it. I'm a chilean fan of this group and I can't understand why somebody choose this songs. Where is alturas, chiloe, vuelvo, la exiliada del sur, sambalando, mercado testaccio, señora chichera? Any single disc is better than this selection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un disco de grandes exitos para un gran grupo., June 7, 2000
By 
German Mollo Aguila (Santiago, Región Metropolitana Chile) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Best of Inti-Illimani (Audio CD)
Esta recopilación de exitos viene de la serie de discos realizados tras terminar su exilio en Italia y volver a Chile. Tras años de destierro desde 1973 a 1988, hacen de 1989 el año del regreso. Es un Chile distinto del que ellos partieron. Un mercado o industria complicado, el cual aún hoy, solo les deja un pequeño espacio de difusión. Los Inti se replantearon su linea de trabajo y paso a paso, encontrando su camino, llegando a sus ANDADAS(1993), a presentaciones extensas en el mundo y pocas en Chile, pues aquí, les cuesta aceptar masivamente su propuesta musical. Recién en 1997 reeditaron en Chile algunos de sus discos del exilio en Italia, en forma ordenada, aunque sin letras y pocos datos. Llega 1996 y dejan su ARRIESGARE LA PIEL como una identidad con las buenas letras, y un afirmar el sonido acústico desenchufado como base de su estilo. Expresan su firmeza en la difusión de la música latinoamericana, de la manera más amplia, boleros, rancheras, cuecas, etc., tal como se los dejó en herencia Víctor Jara. Expuesto claramente en los albumes multifacéticos de LEJANIA(1998) y AMAR DE NUEVO(1998). En 1999 editan la cantata LA ROSA DE LOS VIENTOS, con orquesta y coros y el album SINFONICO, todo este disco acompañado con orquesta. El 11 de junio de 2000 se presentaron en el teatro Municipal de Santiago de Chile con estas dos obras en vivo. Un nuevo Inti que recuerda a Víctor Jara con dos grabaciones, y un exponente de creación e interpretación soberbios. Aunque quedó en el camino de la transición o este periodo a Eugenio Llona, Renato Freyggand, José Seves y Max Berrú. Y llegaron los nuevos integrantes Daniel Cantillana, Efren Viera y el regreso del venezolano Jorge Ball. Un nuevo Inti y unos nuevos grandes exitos. THE BEST OF INTI ILLIMANI, una nueva época, un nuevo mundo. Sorprendete con las letras de Patricio Manns, la música de Horacio Salinas y la fuerza de INTI. Ojalá en algún pais del mundo coloquen toda su discografía los Inti illimani, y nos haga hacerlas tanta busqueda al planeta para encontrar sus obras. En Chile esperamos la reedición de sus discos preexilio en forma ordenada, con sus letras correspondientes y datos fidedignos.
