This Whole Cd Is Great, i have no idea of what some of the people are complaining about, its a tribute cd your supposed to improv on the songs and not sing them like queen The Molotov Version of B.R. is awesome its lyrics are fun and funny, Fobia And soda Stereo also do a great job, i love the cd, you should get this cd if you like queen but specially if you like spanish rock and your not a sensative wimp that will get offended with MOLOTOV lyrics cus they are the most original band on the Tribute!

THIS WAS NOT THE USUAL TRIBUTES FROM LATIN BANDS. YOU WILL FIND IN THIS CD EXCELLENT VERSIONS WITH VERY GOOD LYRICS (TRANSLATIONS) OF QUEENS GREATEST HITS... BEST SONGS SO FAR IN THIS CD:

02. ATERCIOPELADOS - Play the Game (Juegale, Apuestale)
07. SORAYA - Save Me (Salvame)
09. FITO PAEZ - All Dead, All Dead (Se Fue, se Fue)
11. FOBIA - Under Pressure (Presionando)

THE REST OF THE CD HAVE PRETTY GOOD SONGS EXCEPTING ONLY THIS TWO:

04. El GENERAL - We Will Rock You (Nosotros Te Conmoveremos)
08. MOLOTOV - Bohemian Rhapsody (Rap-Soda y Bohemia)
(DISASTROUS VERSIONS!)

EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE OF SPANISH BUT IF YOU ARE A TRULY FAN OF QUEEN... YOU MUST HAVE THIS CD! IS VEEEERY GOOD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Es lo mejor!, January 31, 1999

This review is from: Queen En Espanol - Latin Tribute Album (Audio CD)

When I saw this album in the store I knew right away that I wanted to buy it for my Mexican brother-in-law. We both grew up in the 70's listening to Queen, he in Mexico and me in the United States, and he even had a video of their greatest hits! Never mind that he did not understand all the English lyrics, we both loved watching that video and listening to Queen's music. Then, after buying and listening to this CD and reading the translated lyrics, I came to respect Freddy Mercury and Queen even more. The way these groups have translated the lyrics and the music is masterfully done. (Each artist translated their particular song's lyrics themselves.) The production is faithful to the music of Queen, yet done with an unmistakable latin pop/rock flair. I like all but one of the 15 songs. (If you buy this album, you may guess which one it is.) In addition, most of these musical artists I was not familiar with at the time I bought the album. I have since, however, been pleased come to know and buy music from several of the artists featured on this album. I highly recommend this CD, esp. if you're into Queen and/or you're into Spanish language rock music. By the way, I never did get the CD to my brother-in-law, but I did record it for him.
