Here is my beef with this book....most of the songs have been translated into English. That would be fine if the original Spanish or Portugese were included along side it, but most of the time they are not. It is only logical that most people with an interest in Latin music would want to have the original language of the songs at least available to them. ... So if you are interested in this book...take note...the description of the book is incomplete...these are Latin melodies with English translations! If that is what you are looking for, the book is probably a good choice for you, as it is otherwise of good quality.

Cover title is unspecific to genre. The table of contents may lead you to believe you are purchasing music you are not...A lot of these songs are not in their original Spanish or Portuguese although the title may be listed in the original language. Ex: "Amapola" is a shortened arrangement of the refrain only...in English. Several songs are shortened versions and poor English translations. Composer and arranger information not even provided sometimes. If you're looking for a casual pops book with some tunes in it, this might be for you. However, if you're looking for quality arrangements of authentic popular Latin songs, stay clear.
