4.0 out of 5 stars Good addition to your CD collection., April 4, 2006

I like this CD. I think that if you have a problem with the more traditional sound of flamenco singers, as the previous reviewer stated, then yes, you might not like this. Diego's voice sounds a bit more nasal, but nonetheless he is able to get across passion and fire where necessary. Lagrimas Negras is one of my absolute favorites of all time, but I would not compare that work to something like this. Those songs required his voice to go deeper so that he could hit the higher notes on some of the songs. You'll see what I mean if you watch the making of Lagrimas Negras on the Blanco y Negro DVD.

I would recommend this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is what flamenco is all about..., April 22, 2006

Even though Lagrimas Negras is one of my absolute favorites, you have to understand that Diego El Cigala is a flamenco cantaor. In Lagrimas Negras, Fernando Trueba blends a pure flamenco singer with an Afro-Cuban pianist, Bebo Valdés, with mostly Latinamerican boleros. This concept is revolutionary, and made a great hit worldwide. I totally disagree with the first review for this album. If you understand and like flamenco, this is a WONDERFUL production and a real tribute to the great Picasso, who before becoming a legend, was a Malagueñito... If 5 minutes of Cante Flamenco is too much for you, then give pop singer Alejandro Sanz a shot...

No doubt about it, "CIGALA" has found his own mark upon music writing. This is a very tasty album very much worthwhile to have. Its not harsh. It blends a fusion of sounds starting from Jazz, Flamenco and somewhat pop, but its still flamenco. Thing is noawadays many are purists, which is a problem, because no one plays like Nino Ricardo from the 1930's! Come on! Wake up! This a great album. Music, like language, evolves. I would strongly recommend it.
