Yes,its true. From the first track onward, this album draws you in with its storytelling, spoken word and soothing melodies. At first glance, this wasn't something I would listen to but, alas after my first listen, it was hard for me to listen to anything else for a week!! Putumayo always does it right when they put together a project. Standout tracks are "Reflejo de Luna", "Caminhos de Cuba", and "Carmela". Any Putumayo fan will not be disappointed.

This is one of the best Putumayo CDs I own so far. Each song has a particular mood and character to it - from trippy, relaxing, romantic, sexy to dramatic. Love the mix of electronica beats, violins and flamenco guitars. A must have!!

I have taken highschool Spanish for 4 years so far, so I think it's a nice treat for me to finally listen to Spanish music and understand most of the music! I believe Putumayo is top-notch when it comes to its compilations on Spanish music. In my opinion this is one of their best. It's fun, sexy, sultry, and refreshing. I highly recommend it.

After purchasing many compilations I began to fear that I would never again hear a cd as good as my first (Siddharta Vol. 1) but this cd woke me up. Some songs are better than others. "Siempre Me Quedará" for example is one of the best songs I've heard in months and all are consistantly good except for one song called "Carmela" which sounds like something my grandparents would dance to.
When I realised that Putumayo made many discs with many different themes without sticking to 1 theme I assumed it would be commercial and weak, but the disc outdoes most buddha bar or hotel costes compilations!
A great Listen, I highly recommend it.

All the cuts offer a tasty bite of Latin flavor. Latin Jazz and Euro fusion. Great listening music or as a back drop to accent a dinner party. The music is captivating, enchanting, and just a pleasure to listen. This is the kind of music that goes great with a sunset, wine, and a friend.

I bought this disc for my gf on a whim, since she generally loves Latin rhythms, and I sure lucked out: this disc is fabulous! This is some of the best driving music too; very relaxing, yet lively enough to keep you awake.
It's hard to recommend this too much, it's just *that* good!

You can never go wrong with the Putumay Presents collection. This is one of my favorites to be honest Latin Lounge.

Of all my Putumayo cd's, this is definitely my favourite. I can listen to this one over and over and over... Perfect for a chilled party, a long drive on a Sunday afternoon, a candlelight dinner, or any other worthy occasion. I just love Sueno Mama by Roberto Poveda, and Mariposa by Si Se. After listening to the artists on the album I have bought many of their original recordings. It opened a whole new world of Latin Music to me. You definitely won't regret buying this album.

I have this CD and a few others. Every now and then I like to check for new releases. What I would like to know is WHERE ARE THE TRACK SAMPLES???!! WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM?? I listen to songs before I decide to buy, so if you want to sell a CD, then put them back.

I have been looking for an 'in' to the 'world music' genre for years. Putumayo Presents has become my gateway. Incredible collections. Latin Lounge is one of the best. Whether or not it's authentic Latin, I don't know. What I do know is that this compilation is sensational. Buy it now and enjoy!
