Thank God for Ricardo Montaner! I was introduced to him by a friend from Mexico who is totally into many Latin artists, as am I, but I had never heard of Ricardo. Now, I couldn't be happier that he has a new CD. This is definitely as good if not better than any of his past CDs. Good songs and his awesome voice, I couldn't be happier!!! Enjoy, everyone. This one is worth it!

RICARDO MONTANER UN GRAN ARTISTA, QUE SIEMPRE ESTA AL DIA Y DE MODA CON SUS HERMOSAS CANCIONES DE MUCHA CALIDAD, TANTO INTERPRETATIVAS COMO SUS LETRAS. Y AHORA NOS PRESENTA SU MAS RECIENTE TRABAJO DISCOGRAFICO "PROHIBIDO OLVIDAR" DEL CUAL YA SE ESCUCHA SU PRIMER SENCILLO "QUE GANAS" UN BUEN TEMA Y CON VIDEO QUE YA ESTA ENTRE LOS FAVORITOS DE CANALES DE TELEVISION MUSICAL.

RECOMIENDO A CUALQUIER PERSONA COMPRAR ESTE DISCO, PORQUE RICARDO MONTANER ES CARTA DE RECOMENDACION DE BUENA CALIDAD.

Ricardo Montaner, from Venezuela, has been releasing records since the early 80s. Already a superstar in the latino world, he was a total stranger to me when I arrived from Spain (where in the 80s, South American artists were ignored and never played on radio) to the U.S in 1992. I hated listening to latino radio in the U.S., because it was full of corny ballads and psychologicaly, in Spain we were tought that it couldnt be good music. But then one fine day, stuck in PCH traffic my tape player broke and I had to turn the radio on, and there comes Ricardo Montaner with "Castillo Azul (Blue Castle)". The road was curvy, so I couldnt reach for the radio to change channels, so I had to listen to the whole thing. By the time the song was over, I was a Ricardo Montaner fan!!! I've been buying every CD he puts out! This guy has one of the most beautiful male voices anywhere. Hello?? I said anywhere!! Its a clean sharp voice. The only thing similar to his voice that I've seen is Italy's Albano. He is a balladier, and he makes me cry. The songs are so touching. In this album "Prohibido Olvidar" he goes for the "bolero-ballad" style helped by 70s disco artist "Bebu Silvetti" who used to work with Tom Moulton. You have luscious string sections and theres no italian cover versions this time. Its all original. Ricardito!!, your records are so touching that I'm in loves with you!!
