Cabas

I LOVE this guy! He can do no wrong! As I have already said of him in other reviews, why is he not being played 24/7 all over the world?? I have everyone of his CD's and keep a constant check to make sure I have everything he puts out.
His sexy, soulful voice, his rhythm and beat will melt you away into the greatest eargasms known. This is extreme talent, dynamic artistry, and the Einstein of musica!
What he is doing with his outstanding gift for music is no less than what Bocelli did for opera.

Just got the album today.
And as I expected, amazing. Cabas' albums have perfect balance, his composition is sublime, and his songs just sound right, but unlike any other, 'Bonita' a great example of this.
Not a big change since 'Puro Cabas', albeit a bit more Pop.
Beautiful music, lots of energy, and the best Colombia has to offer.

Cabas is back with his heart offered to the people. This CD is so much better made than his first CD. He combines great rythms from cumbia to reggaeton. Favorite songs are Guacamaya, La Cadena de Oro, Likua. Vale la pena comprarlo y gozarlo.

I love it I love it I love it I looooovvveeee it!!!! There is nothing better than Cabas!

First saw the video for "Mi Bombon" on Link TV (www.linktv.org). This CD contains 3 versions of "Mi Bombon" (just in CASE you can't get enough of it - like me!) - a regular version, salsa version, and the video. Other songs have variety and great beats too. The ballad "Tu Boca" contains instruments not usually heard in American pop ballads (bonus video of that song too!). Touching on ballads, Latin, and rock, this is a great CD for those who like Latin music.

Suficiente se ha dicho por la otra gente sobre este disco. Pero lo que no han dicho es que uno no tiene que ser un fanatico de la musica Colombiana para poder amar a este disco. Por lo opuesto, me intereso a mi mas en la musica de ese pais.
La mezcla de instrumentos es increible. Si Cabas puede sacar mas musica de esta calidad, se convertira en una legenda de la musica.

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL MUSIC FULL OF RHYTHM AND MAKES YOU WANT TO GET UP AND DANCE, AND IF YOU WANT YOU CAN JUST LISTEN TO IT, ENJOY IT AND DISCOVER ALL THE WONDERFUL SOUNDS AND LYRICS IT HAS.

I loved the first CD, and I loved this one too!! Cabas is now more relaxed and experiments a lot more with different sounds, also moves toward hard rock in a couple of songs... I truly enjoyed all the songs, and liked the fact that Cabas is not into this for the sales, or to please critics...he just goes where he feels like going, and we all follow...
Truly a good driving/partying cd! ANOTHER COLOMBIAN ARTIST SHOWING THE WORLD A DIFFERENT AND BEAUTIFUL SIDE OF OUR COUNTRY...GOOD WORK!

Lastima. Sacar un CD de puro relleno dos anos despues de haber sacado un disco fantastico. Es bueno para sonar en acensores.

Too bad. Having produced a great CD a couple of years ago, Cabas has now followed it with a CD chuck full of filler material. Redundant same sounding bland stuff. Makes for great music to be heard on an elevator.

Este disco esta SUPER!! Cabas es uno de los artistas mas originales del mercado en este momento! Este chico es super joven y talentoso! Escribe sus propias canciones y verlos en VIVo es un SHOW TOTAL!! Se entrega a su musica con mucho amor y passion! QUE VIVA CABAS!!! Me encanta TODO el disco, en mi opinion este segundo material esta mejor (a mi gusto) que el primero, aunque el primero esta muy bien, pero ESTE ME FASCINA!! En especial la numbero 3 (Bizco) Contacto, Adentro, y el dueto con Bunbury estan super!! definitivamente vale la pena comprar este disco!!

THIS IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES. THIS AUTHOR-SINGER HAS A UNIQUE MUSICAL TALENT, ALL HIS COMPOSICIONS ARE MASTERPIECES.
THIS ALBUM WAS FEATURED IN THE NEW YORK TIMES AS ONE THE TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2003!

a mí tampoco me gustó este último disco. los ritmos son demasiado monótonos. el primer disco de cabas es ORO. éste, desafortunadamente, no tiene el mismo swing ni el sentimiento del anterior. parece ser que este disco lo sacó a la maldita sea sin meterle tanto amor como lo hizo con el primer album. éste no lo recomendaría. el primer disco es mil veces mejor.

Yes, there is hardly an ordinary note on this entire CD, which highlights piano miniatures of seven Latin American composers. Unfortunately, many Latin American composers do not receive their due in the U.S.: their music is often criticized for incorporating too many folk elements, and therefore is not taken seriously as recital fare. While all these pieces are rather short (the longest is under 8 minutes), these are moving and stylish perfromances which eloquently portray the beautiful Latin American heritage and have intellectual appeal.

The three works here by Villa-Lobos are pensive and dreamy; Mignone's two 'Valsas de esquina' draw upon the European waltz tradition breathing spanish spirit into this most trite of genres. The two pieces by Nazareth are playful and just might make you bob your head or swing a bit to the rhythm. More contemporary sounds are delivered in the music of Ginastera, who is regarded as Argentina's most accomplished composer. Eduardo Caba makes gestures from Latin American Indian heritage with various modal and pentatonic passages.

And on down the list... the selections of music are wonderfully chosen and well played by pianist Irma Ametrano. Whether you've heard of these guys or not (I had only heard of two of the seven composers before I found this CD), their music will be sure to win your heart.

While these composers draw upon the tradition of Western European music (you will certainly hear echoes of Chopin, Liszt, and maybe others in the piano writing), they are true to the rhythms, melodies, and harmonies of their own culture. I wish this were a double CD set: the program notes state that these composers have written a lot more piano music than what is presented here.

This album will provide many hours of fulfilling listening enjoyment.

This practically unknown Beef Cake (in North America) is outstanding! I don't even speak the language, but his soulful,sexy voice and sound sweep me away into the most beautiful sounds and rythms I have heard. What is wrong with this picture???? I don't even hear this outstanding artist on the Latino stations!! Wake up people and get this guy on the air in N. America! And move over Ricky Martin, Justin Timberlake, and etc.!
