We heard this during the summer of '03 while in Espana. This, their second release, is melodic and fuses sounds heard in their homeland of the Canary Islands. The fourth track ends with about 2 minutes of a Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan fusion. If you like Sting's "Desert Rain" or Delerium, this will be one of your favorite international albums - the samples give some flavor of the strength of this CD.

I had never imagined what would a blend of flamenco and electronic chillout music sound like. Chambao is the answer. I just picked up their "Endorfina's en la Mente" album during a recent trip to Spain. In it, they've managed to combine the two genres in a completely natural way that they first explored a couple of years before, in their contribution to the compilation "Flamenco Chill".

The entire album is packed with song after song of catchy tunes that balance the handclapping, guitars and chorus singing typical from flamenco, with background electronic keyboards that provide a lounge-like atmosphere. The singer reminds a lot of the vocalist from the US band Si Se and the whole production is bound to transport you to Spanish lands by the Mediterranean Sea... with tapas and nice wine.

Saw this band live in Madrid 2003! They are one the best examples of flamenco fused chill. Any one who picks this album up will not regret it!

I love this album. Chambao has a unique sound that always takes me away to a magical place.

I love this CD. I play while driving. The tunes are so infectious. Whether you have knowledge of Spanish or not, you will enjoy this CD.

I love this cd. Every song is great. I am a fan of traditional flamenco, and this flamenco fusion sound is wonderful. I listen to this cd over and over.

This Cd takes me back to Malaga beach en my querida Spain. It is Flamenco chill. You can lay back with a lover sip a cool drink and let it play. Chambao is romantic, relaxing and fun.

I bought this CD trusting the comments made by people who bought it, but honestly the last one from Chambao, "Pokito a Poko" is better than this one....This is not bad, either.

I have yet to get the album, but I recently heard "Ahi Estas Tu" play as a theme for the Adulucia (Spain) tourism commercial currently playing on CNN. I was floored. Then I got the full song. Wow -- what a refined and soothing melody and what an incredible voice the lead singer has, unlike anything I've ever heard and so much better than so much of the "music" coming out of the US these days. It's beautiful, compelling me to write my first ever comment on Amazon. I look forward to hearing more from this impressive band.
