I had to write a review to this cd after reading some of the negative feedback certain cd reviewers had on this site. This is a good cd and is definetely worth your money. First of all, this is a Colombian singer, who comes out of a country currently filled with so much hardship. We need to support singers from Colombia and help shed a positive light on that beautiful country. He has a very romantic voice, and the album flows gracefully, rythmically. It is not for salsa-only fanatics, but moreso for the romantics, the lovers. One reviewer complained of "Los Panchos" sounding much better in the songs' original versions, but there is no reason to compare. Zaa is a modern artist who is gracefully bringing back old music of bygone days. If it weren't for artists like him, most people would never have the opportunity to listen to the beautiful, poetic lyrics from groups like "Los Panchos". Oh, and the issue about him being nice looking and marketed: get real, everyone is marketed, welcome to capitalism. As a Colombian-American, I am grateful for cds like this one.

This CD is very romantic and outstanding

I heard this in a Berkeley burrito place. It grew on me while I was waiting for my order. I speak only burrito Spanish, so the lyrics were lost on me; however, the melancholy romanticism in the voice resonated in my soul. When that high, husky-breathy, effortless tenor (think Sade ["shar-day"]) seamlessly slid onto the keyboard and guitars of the second track (Odiame), I knew I had to have this music and begged the owner to tell me what it was. Purists (see other reviewers) will doubtless have problems with his styling, but I love it. The owner said he was Puerto Rican, I thought the voice was a woman's, and my sweetie thought the music was Greek. Turns out Charlie's a Columbian guy doing a genre some say was born in Cuba. Whatever. Buy it. Play it. Dance with your sweetie (or a broom) all night.

I went and got this cd not too long ago, not knowing how absolutely amazing it woudl turn out to be--really I would advice everyone to get it, it's a super piece of music, with all the characteristics of good, bolero style colombian music--plus this guy's really sexy too! Seriousy--when you listen to this stuff you just want to have another Margarita and whine over your pitiful self. (With a big smile on your lips, that is, honestly it's really an amazing piece of music...)

I think is a very nice album, and it is nice to have a young guy like him that is bringing our old music back; and do in it with so much respect.

THIS IS EXTREMELY ROMANTIC MUSIC. CHARLIE'S VOICE IS AS GOOD AS GOLD.

very good song especially is you like BOLEROS. he has the voice for these songs.romantic and relaxing...the perfect combination :) came on time and perfect condition
will order again
thank you

For those who like boleros or any kind of slow, romantic Latin music, this is the album for you. Charlie Zaa, from Colombia, truly breaks your heart and stirs your passions with these songs. Two of my favorite songs, here, are "Pasiones" and "Deseos." They capture the urgency and the pangs of love (and lust). Get together with someone you feel like getting close to, and dance to this.......

I read the bad reviews people have left. And with most of them people talk about "Los Panchos" or "Cuco Sanchez" etc etc. But what people have to understand is that not this type of music is targeted to the younger generations. I personally rather hear Charlie Zaa over Los Pancho or Cuco anyday. I can relate more to him. And he has a fresher sound. I'll leave Cuco and Los Panchos for my Grandfather and Dad.

Excellent piezes of music, truly worth all your money. Zaa has the best latin voice I'd ever heard-with such well written lyrics and romantic themes that sounds just beautiful.
