I just received my copy of The Lost City soundtrack and it is everything I had hoped it would be.. Every song used in the film has been included in this magnificant collection. The soundtrack is two CD's worth of listening pleasure - 45 songs in all! The audio quality is superb too - absolutely clear.. A fantastic job and a definite "must have" for anyone who loves Cuban music.

I had to wait almost a year to get this sensational soundtrack. It added so much to the movie, mixing old Cuban songs together with some new compositions that blended exquisitely with the story behind the movie.

I was born in Cuba, and the music brought back so many memories from my childhood. This album, however, will appeal to anyone that loves Cuban music and is worthy to be added to your music collection.

What a wonderful soundtrack. There are original tracks plus music from the motion picture. There are re-recordings by the "Lost City Orchestra" of Lecuona -- one of Cuba's premier composers -- and of "La Bella Cubana" (a haunting piece -- though it's not complete here). This soundtrack serves a wonderful "history" of the golden age of Cuban music -- even if you didn't liek the film, you'll love the soundtrack!

This music is Timeless, I literally have been listening to this 'CD' non stop since i received it. It has every song featured on the film, a film which all cubans whom have imigrated to the US and beyond can relate to. I have sat down and played the "cd" during a game of domino with my grandmother and her best friend of 96 yrs in age, they loved it. I was raised in California and too young to remember when we imigrated to the U.S. But, this CD brings to life all the memories of family gatherings and stories my family has shared with me. I strongly encourage everyone to add this "CD" to there collection.

If you love Cuban music, you will love this CD. I saw the movie "The Lost City" about two years ago and, being of Cuban heritage, loved it and the movie's soundtrack. I could not find a mention of the soundtrack anywhere that I usually shop for CDs until I found it on Amazon. I was not disappointed! Great mix of different styles of Cuban music, well worth the investment.

Most of my life I've been content saying I was Cuban. However, I really don't know much about my Cuba since I was born in 1958 and left my country in 1961. The heritage I've gained has been fortified by my relatives who raised me here in the U.S. The Lost City Soundtrack rekindles my Cuban spirit with music my relatives played for me as a child. It's an important piece of music anthology for anyone who needs a spirit lift -- especially if you want to reminisce about the happiest days of your life. And for those who have no need for that "spirit lifting," but just like good music, I recommend you buy this CD and listen to where the "Salsa Music" roots come from and the proud African and Spanish Cultures intertwine.

The price is excellent for a 2 CD set. The music is fabulous. I've been listening to it every day. I love it more it time I hear it.(The movie was great also.)

I was aware of Andy Garcia in his 'tough guy' film rolls. I was not aware of his accomplishments as a musician. Bravo!! I am proud to have this soundtrack so that I do not have to play the movie over and over again.

Excellent CD. Beautiful and melancholic music of a time gone by and never to return unfortunately. Beautiful!

Great Cuban music - Andy Garcia is a genius in combining the old well-known songs with afro-american rhythms - I absolutely recommend it.
