=Hurts So Good=, July 6, 2000
This review is from: Cantos De Amor (Audio CD)
This is a fantastic compilation of some of The Gipsy King's most romantic songs. I am not one that by rule likes greatest hits, but in this case, I do. In my opinion, one would have to search far and wide to find music with more passion and emotion. This is from el corazon-the heart. The guitars speak volumes while Nicolas Reyes' one of a kind voice carries us through all the beauty and suffering that has encompassed Flamenco for generations. With this, a suggestion: Grab your lover and some vino, put this CD on and see what develops...I bet it'll be hotter than The Costa Del Sol! My favorites are: "Un Amor"/"Gitano Soy"/"Love & Liberte"/"Quiero Saber"/"Caminando Por La Calle" (My most cherished of all)/"Trista Pena." Although I am elated to see Latin music gaining popularity, some of todays stars are pale in comparison to The Gipsy Kings...Adios amigos- Que Dios te bendiga.

~*LOVE*~ ...forever loyal, June 7, 2000

This is a nice compilation, and just about due in the US, as Europe already had the Gipsy Kings' Love Songs for a while. ok ok....... if you have everything ever put out by the GK, perhaps this cd may be a bit redundant -- in fact Gitano Soy [Nicolas Reyes is brilliant on this by the way...] is the only "new" song on this CD. However the choices & order of each song were well done... they flow into each other! also, if you listen closely in Mujer, you'll hear a newly added piano part-- to me it lends a nice feminine touch to it. A true fan will not be disappointed--in fact, if you're new to the GK, get this one & work your way backwards~ the journey will be the best of your life! My only complaint.... MORE CANUT! ; )

This CD oozes love in all its forms., February 1, 1999

This review is from: Cantos De Amor (Audio CD)
Despite owning 'The Best of the Gypsy Kings' and 'Tierra Gitana', I liked this CD because it sets a mood. Compilation CDs are never a good idea if you own the majority of the artist's work, but if like me, you only have a couple, then this CD is a very good buy. Whether you are in love, want to be in love, or wish you weren't, there's something for you on this CD. I love the pain expressed in Trista Pena and Gitano Soy.
