5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning!, August 18, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Un Bolero Por Favor (Audio CD)

The international chanteuse brings her sound up to date for this stunning release. Samples boleros and latin sound bytes are all utilised in an effort to keep with the times and it all makes for a moody, sultry latin sound that compliments Nana's vocals perfectly. "Piel Canela" and "Me Voy Pa'l Pueblo" are flawless. "Despierta Agapi Mou" is a perfect mesh of Greek and Latin Sound and "Espinita" and "No Me Quiras Tantos" display Nana's perfect vocal abilities, more than any fan of Nana's would have imagined possible! The finest moment come on the very intimate "Besame Mucho"! This album is a smashing success!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique talent, June 5, 2002

68-year-old Nana Mouskouri again gives prove of her unique talent. This program of Latin songs is her best in this field so far. She is accompanied by a handful of musicians, and it sounds like they all had great fun doing this recording. Her voice is still one of the most beautiful in the world, and her singing very relaxed. Two outstanding songs are "Besame mucho" sung in a very intimate way, and "Despierta agapi mou" which is the Spanish version of one of her earliest Greek successes "Xypna agapi mou". All in all, this collection has style and is a perfect showcase, why she has been a star for over 40 years! Nana, you deserve to be on top.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic new latin album, June 6, 2002

This review is from: Un Bolero Por Favor (Audio CD)

I always thaught that latin music is very suitable for Nana Mouskouri and she showed us already in the past years that also in this field she is one of the rare artists who are able to do magic. Her ability do adopt a style of music, a language, a feeling, a spirit is simply fascinating. With this new album the latin Ms. Mouskouri showed once again what a talent she is and how much she learned and developped with all the years in the music scene. The album regroups twelve of the most beloved bolero themes which everyone knows who is interested a bit in this kind of music. Song number thirteen is a welcome new version of one of her early Greek songs with new Spanish lyrics. The production of the album is wonderful and spirit and joy are very well captured on it. I only can gratulate Ms. Mouskouri for how graceful she continous her way in her long career. My favourite songs on this album are wonderful versions of Besame Mucho, Piel Canela, Angelitos Negros and Usted. Very good also Me Voy Pa'l Pueblo and Bachata Rosa and not to forget the old Greek song with a new latin sound Despierta Agapi Mou. No me quieras tanto and Piensa en mi are in my opinon the weaker points in this album but all in all this is one of the best Mouskouri productions in years.
