Nacional Records has the best in Latin Alternative music!,
This review is from: Nacional Records Sampler 2009: The New Sounds Of Latin Music (MP3 Download)
Just as the title states, Nacional Records really does have the best Latin Alternative music. They may been unheard of to most music listeners, but they garter the best musicians to date. Los Fabulosos Cadillacs are like the Rolling Stones of Latin America and have been active for over 2 decades, producing the best music out there - and now they're back and are a real asset to the label. Bomba Esterero are becoming popular, right out of Colombia, getting mainstream recognition with their McDonald's ad deal. It is an absolute STEAL to get all this music for free, and in time you'll know why when you hear your friends, co-workers, and family listening to and talking about artists and songs from this sampler. Mexican Institute of Sound (MIS) is at the brink of blowing up after exposure on America's CNN.
Your eyes have read the review, you've made up your mind... Now let your ears have a shot and your hips wont be sorry!

Amazon's Best Free Music Offering,
By Gavin B. (St. Louis MO) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nacional Records Sampler 2009: The New Sounds Of Latin Music (MP3 Download)
Being curious about all kinds of music I usually download most of the free sampler offerings on Amazon and let the chips fall where they may. In most cases I'm lucky to find two or three tracks I really like and end up dumping the filler tracks.
This Nacional 2009 Sampler of contemporary Latin music is one that deserves your attention because it's far and away the best free offering I've found since Amazon started offering free MP3 downloads about a decade ago. The music is so good I feel guilty about not paying a dime for it. I will certainly be doing some follow up purchases of the following artists on the collection: Bomba Estero Fidel Nadal Gonzalo Yañez King Coya Latin Bitman Monareta Sara Valenzuela Señor Coconut Tonino Carotone Uproot Andy I'm not an expert on Latin music but I already own music by Juana Molina, Pinker Tones and Los Fabulosos Cadillacs who are already established international stars, in their own right. Don't be a slave to your musical expectations about Latin music. The bands on this collection have plenty of attitude. This music is a far cry from Jose Feliciano, Herb Alpert or the Baja Marimba Band. These musicians are closer in substance to the electronica grooves of worldbeat post-modernists like Theivery Corporation, Chris Joss and Air. You don't need to speak or understand Spanish to appreciate the music. For those who are North American provinicialists: there are even a few songs in English! Download the entire album and give it a few spins to let the music sink in. I have yet to dump a single one of the 16 songs because every selection is outstanding. The Nacional offerig is everything a good music sampler should be. I'd pay the standard retail price of $8.99 to download the fine music on this Nacional sampler.
