5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful album, February 8, 2000

By	drscooch78 (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews

This album showcases Zucchero's greatest quality, his beautiful voice. Here, he melds Mediteranean rythms with soul and creates beautifully melodious songs. Zucchero is an amazing talent and is much underappreciated in America, take it from artists such as Miles Davis, Eric clapton, Sting and Bono who have worked with him. This is a beautiful cd that anyone interested in his music should own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music to calm your nervs, January 2, 2000

By A Customer

For anyone who has trouble finding that one CD that you can escape to - take you away - and put you at ease, THIS is IT. Although I do not understand a word of Italian, the beautiful guitar strums and smoky voice of Zucchero will compensate. Unlike most CD's, you can feel what the songs are about. It's a perfect harmony.

Listening to this CD while falling asleep, or in the car on your way to work, will put your mind and body at ease. It has a tempo to keep your body in a soft rythem, as well as put you in a sort of consious meditation.

I listen to this on my way to work, and even though I know I will be in for a stressfull day, it just keeps me in a sort of comfort. Just as it does when I'm falling asleep. Well worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music to uplift your soul and transport your mind, February 22, 2003

By	"jo_d10" (Trinidad, West Indies) - See all my reviews

I'm not in the habit of writing reviews but where this album is concerned, I'm compelled. I bought this album in November 2002 and am addicted to it. 'Diamante' which begins the album, will transport you to a place of serenity. I first encountered Zucchero's haunting voice in 1996 on "Pavarotti and friends for War Child". I've been hooked ever since. I play the album almost daily and it always leaves me yearning for more. Some may say it's music to make love by; I would say it's also music to LIVE by!!!
