Chayanne

Gran concierto.Espectacular sonido y la version en dvd es para volverse loco.Realmente de deja con ganas de más.Y qué canciones tiene el tipo...

A bonus the sound track from the "Cautivo" concert tour must have for all Chayanne fans!

Contiene los exitos de siempre y canciones mas recientes de su ultimo trabajo. El sonido es muy bueno para este trabajo en vivo. Les va a gustar.

I absolutely love this DVD. It's so uplifting and romantic. It gives me motivation and brightens up my days!!!

The songs are great of course. But some really good songs are missing. The CD is not suficient for the title 'Grandes Exitos' of Chayanne.

This is a good Cd if you love Chayanne's songs and don't have all his cd's. All the songs are beautiful as he is. I enjoy listening to it over and over again.

I've been a die hard fan of this man since he was in one of the original boy bands, Los Chicos. I have seen him change from the nice clean cut guy he was until the MAN he is today. As a huge fan and I am and always been, this record is a grea way for you to learn and enjoy him the same way I do every day. El Dicho dice, "Nadie es Profeta en su Tierra" but I really beg to differ.

Great song "Y tu te vas" best of all, SO HOT!!!! You can feel it deep in your veins, especially if you know Spanish as a native speaker. Se siente muy adentro hasta la fibra interior y hace vibrar las venas. "Quisiera" is also great song. Ricky doesn't come close. In fact, his not the best Puerto Rico offers, he's just good looking (or, should I say gringo looking?).

I listen to this CD on a daily basis and can never seem to get enough of it.
Excellent work!!!

It took a while to get here, but I suppose it had to come a long way. No complaints.

It was about ten years ago that my best friend recommended I listen to Chayanne as a way to help me learn Spanish. It was around that time that Chayanne released Volver a Nacer (1996), and later, Atado a tu Amor (1998). After listening to what are arguably two of his best CDs, I was an instant fan, so much so that I even went to two of his concerts.

These two albums were followed by Simplemente (2000) and later, Sincero (2003), both very good efforts but not as good as what came before in my opinion. These in turn were followed by two oddities, Grandes Exitos (2002) and the Desde Siempre (2005), both of which included mostly old songs plus 2-3 new songs. The new songs were good, as were some of the alternate versions / remixes, but honestly I thought Chayanne's best days were over. And then, in 2005, further evidence arrived that my hunch was right: the awful Cautivo. As bad as it was, Cautivo taught me an important lesson: it's better to buy a CD that contains mostly good old songs (or variations of these) plus 2-3 good new songs than a CD filled with crappy new songs.

After Cautivo, I swore I'd never buy another Chayanne album again. But as they say, "Never say never." As it turns out, I was snooping around the Internet a few weekends ago, looking for some new latin music, when I discovered Chayanne had released another album called Mi Tiempo. Admittedly curious, I checked out the reviews on Amazon, only to find that people really liked this new album (5 stars out of 5, the ratings said). Moreover, I learned the CD contained all new songs. Still, after the two "best of" albums and Cautivo (which surprisingly is still listed for $17), I wasn't willing to risk putting down the $13 Amazon is charging. Happily, after a bit more research, I found Mi Tiempo on a competitor's website for < $10 (with shipping and tax) - and I decided to take the plunge.

The CD arrived about a week ago but I let it sit around for awhile - I was in no hurry after Cautivo. But this morning, I decided it was time for me to give Mi Tiempo a morning commute test drive. Well, you cannot imagine my delight as I listened to this CD - straight through, not skipping over one song! Then I went back and listened again (I have a long commute). I was literally singing and dancing as I entered my office this morning - in the best mood ever for a Monday morning. Later, I listened to Mi Tiempo again during lunch. And this evening, I listened to it again on my commute home. Needless to say, this is in my opinion one of Chayanne's best albums - different from, but on par with, Volver a Nacer and Atado a tu Amor. If you haven't bought this, buy it now - it definitely is worth five stars!! And now, I hope you will excuse me - I have time just to listen to Mi Tiempo once again before bedtime...

Great music. Words are simple easy to understand. Melody and rythm I love them. I can even imagine the 'movimientos' of Chayanne when I listen his songs.

I love this production because, like always Chayanne combines different styles of music, but it has the magic that he has in all his songs.

I really recommend this production.

I have to admit, I bought this album with the express intent of playing a couple of the songs to death and ignoring the rest; however, this album is excellent. Some of the latter songs aren't Chayanne's best work, but they're still very worth listening to.

¨Sincero¨ fue nominado como mejor álbum de pop-latino al Grammy 2004.Y realmente se merecía ganar, es un pedazo disco.Sentada aquí en mi alma, Caprichosa, Un siglo sin ti, Vaivén, La mujer de Pedro, Cuidarte el Alma, Al pan pan y al vino vino, Caprichosa Spanglish para el mercado anglosajón...temazos

Sin duda alguna el mejor album de Chayanne, y ahora, escuchado con perspectiva mucho mejor.Es un disco que jamás se quedará anticuado, una joya latina imprescindible

Tenía muchísimas ganas de comprarme este disco de Chayanne.No dejo de escucharlo desde Nochebuena.Por fin lo tengo!!!
Me encanta el tema de Caprichosa(también viene la versión spanglish) , además el videoclip es muy bueno , me identifico con la chica , aunque yo no rompería tantas cosas como ella, jajaja, buenísimo el baile , como canta ,Sentada aquí en mi alma es preciosa(como el video), un siglo sin ti, Al pan pan y al vino vino, para saber decir las cosas claras mientras bailas, Cuidarte el Alma...todas!! estoy contentísima con el disco!

I love Chayanne really I think he's the best , how dance and his songs I buy this cd for my mom and now I have to buy another one for me ,cause I like so much his song Caprichosa(and the video) , and I wanna get my own disc to hear it all the day.

Ya le gustaría a mucha gente poder bailar como él , yo escuche el tema de Caprichosa en Kapital por primera vez y le pedí el disco por Navidad a mi madre , como a ella también le gusta me lo compro enseguida, y la de Al pan pan y al vino vino , que es la que le gusta a mi novio. Viva Chayanne!!

Chayanne is the most talented artist of all, and he is keep progressing. Here this album start with the tender and sweet "Dejaria Todo". The beautiful song just like the cover photo, you will feel him inviting into his world. There is also the greatest fast dance number of his, "Salome", which I couldn't help but to started dancing to it. The album contains a lot of varieties of his style. Though, every song is truely "Chayanne", I think he knows exactly how he wants to be. His confidence toward his work is creating the great confort to the listners. You can feel him right by your side when you are listning to his music. That's Chayanne.

I bought this cd on a whim, curious as to what Chayanne sounded like after seeing a concert review on vacation. I must say I was surprised. Even though I don't speak Spanish, it doesn't matter with Chayanne. There's something about his voice that is very moving. His songs are so heartfelt I could listen to him all day and not get tired of listening. Every song on this cd is awesome, and I now have all but one of his cds.

This album is amazing! Great movement songs like "mira ven ven" "salome" and "enamorado" but the ballads just blew me away and i became and instant fan for life...the title track along with one of his signature songs "dejaria todo" and "otra vez" are so romantic and he knows how to interpret them perfectly. And of course, "refugio de amor" from Dance With Me, which i believe sounds better in spanish than english, is also included. well-rounded cd.

Well, this hot Puerto Rican is simply among the Latino's best.

His blood is the music he makes. I begun to know Chayanne 5 years ago and I like his music more when it became the soundtrack of the telenovela from Peru "Girasoles para Lucia" which became total hit in the Philippines.

At the CBB, Chayanne sang the Atadu tu amor, and he's great. Then I saw him at the Miss World 2002. His performace was awesome, yes, in front of the Miss Ujiverse and 50 million people who watched the pageant.

Good luck!

Absolutely brilliant voice, highly singable tunes, great lyrics. If you like this guy, you'll also like people like Ricardo Montaner, Cristian Castro and of course Enrique and Ricky ...

Some of his older romatic songs including "Volver A Nacer" my favorite. One version included 2 bonus tracks live.

I RECOMMENDED ALL CDS OF CHAYANNNE. HIS MUSIC, HIS VOICE MAKE YOU TO FELL WELL.
CHAYANNE IS AN PROFESIONAL. BUY THIS CDS AND SAY STOP TO PIRATERIA.

Chayanne, su voz y su destacado romanticismo en cada una de sus canciones hacen una ves mas un exito total con este cd...CUIDARTE EL ALMA, Es una de las grandes canciones en este material discografico el cual describe perfectamente a Chayanne...un gran romantico enamorado del amor.

Sólo Contra vientos y Mareas es inédita, aunque ya la había escuchado cantada por Franco de Vita en sus grandes éxitos.Hay tres temas del disco Sincero y los demás son algunos de hace 15 años, como Fuiste un trozo de hielo en la escarcha, que es la peor canción y el peor video de Chayanne.Un timo

No se si es la disquera o que nos quieren tomar el pelo, pero en el 2002 ya hubo un recopilatorio, todas las lentas de este cd las tenemos ya, o estan en el disco Sincero(buenísimo)o son las de siempre.Don't fool us, don't pull my leg, No nos tomen el pelo, por favor, que somos jóvenes pero no tontas

Este es uno de los mejores discos de chayanne, tiene de todo. Canciones bailables como Ay mama, boomboom, mariana mambo... y otras bien romanticas como Candela, yo te amo, hasta que el amlma resista. Es bien a lo chayanne;)

I love this CD. It has a bunch of really great songs especially
"Yo te amo" and "Candela". I ran to the store at bought the CD right after seeing the music videos on HTV. "Simplemente" is a great song and "Boom Boom" is hot!I think "Las Horas Pasan" is kind of a dorky song though. Chayanne is an extremely talented arist and has handsome as the day is long. Buy this CD, it truely is a beautiful collection of songs and if Chayanne is reading this. Casate conmigo!

Chayanne came to my attention when I saw Dance With Me. I was impressed with his natural acting and sincerity. The music in the movie moved me to buy all his available CDs. He is
one of the very rare singers who has perfect pitch. His voice is
seductive but manly and while I don't understand the language it makes no difference to my enjoyment of his music. I listen to it over and over. I am an eighty five year old great grandmother and love all kinds of music but his are the CDs I listen to for fun
and enjoyment. I highly recommend him to anyone.

This sweet Puerto Rican has done it again. He has the ability to move you to tears and then make you get up and dance and he uses it perfectly here. "Te Amo" a soft but strongly stated love song can almost make time stand still. The other hit "Candela" is so skillfully rhythmized you'll be humming it everywhere you go and wanting to hear time and time again. This album is a perfect balance of steaming dance songs, passionate ballads and Chyanne's sweet voice that you'll find "Simplemente" simply just irresistable. You'll want to listen to it again and again as I did and still do. Buy it today and enjoy the pleasures of life!

Provocame is a nice compact disk of contemporary Latin music at best. I had purchased this music at the same time I purchased the disk "Tiempo de vals." When reviewing Latin music, I generally stick to Argentine tango. My first reaction to the name Chayanne was: " ¿Chayanne? No se quién es. Pero conozco a Carlos Gardel." I later learned that Chayanne was a popular Latin actor and singer from Puerto Rico, who has recorded 14 albums with the group "Los Chicos" and about 9 solo albums. He won the Ritmo Latino Music awards "Artist of the Year" for 2000. Yes, a gringo milonguero can develop an appreciation for other Latin music. There is a good mix of R&B-inspired ballads, club music (with a good disco beat), and the popular Puerto Rican/Cuban-American music style.

An aspiring milonguero should not limit himself just to Argentine tango. The whole idea of the music and the dance is intimacy with one's dance partner. This is the kind of music that does it. A big bonus with this disk is that it has the lyrics with the liner notes. If you have had even high school Spanish, you will be impressed with the passion and sensitivity of the lyrics. The singing and orchestration is delightful. It seems to run the range from salsa ("Mimi," and "Todo el mundo necesita un beso" ), meringue ("Socca Dance" ),fox trot/tango [in close embrace] ("Mi primer amor," "El centro de mi corazon," "Exxtasis (a version of the 1970's 'Je t'aime')),and rumba ("Isla desnuda"). You may disagree with my assessment of what dances are appropriate for the music. Please remember that I dance with people who have been known to dance Argentine tango to Frank Sinatra and to West Coast Swing.

Pieces range from 3:30 minutes to 5:20 minutes. I consider this to be rather extraordinary considering the fact that the average tango is about 3:30 minutes. This is quite a benefit in that each dance lasts longer. I would use this disk in selecting music for my next milonga to provide additional variety. My only regret is that he does not sing the same kind of music as Carlos Gardel and Alberto Podesta (tango singers of the "guardia vieja").

Chayanne sings beautifully on this CD - some slow, romantic songs, and some faster fun songs. The nice thing is that the CD label has the words printed in Spanish so you can sing along or just learn the words.

This CD hits the floor running with the upbeat and hard hitting first song, Provocame, but really ignites with some of the ballads. El Centro De Mi Corazon and El Arte De Amar are both absolute showcases for Chayanne's vocal talents. And, Isla Desnuda is the sexiest song ever recorded. A fantastic CD from start to finish!

The title song, Provocame, is upbeat and catchy. It is difficult to stop singing once it has entered the mind. My other favorite on the CD is Exxtasis, the last song. It is alluring, sexy, and soothing - just like Chayanne's voice.

I thought this CD was much more recent than 1995. It has his older ballad style and I prefer his more recent work.

si eres romantico y te gusta las canciones de otros interpretes, interpretadas por este cantante de voz sutil, entonces tienes que tenerlo.

En este CD Chayanne canta varias canciones que ya habíamos escuchado con otros interpretes, creo que todas le van muy bien y algunas que no me gustaban con los otros con él las adoro, no pueden dejar de comprarlo se los recomiendo.

The title itself is a give-away Influencias, which means Influences. This excellent compilation of songs is a way for Chayanne to express to his fans what music and which singers have impacted and influenced his life. The first song La Vida Sigue Igual is the creation of none other than the Spain-born Julio Iglesias (Enrique's father), who is considered by many people the best Spanish singer of all times. The song deals with the fact that no matter what happens in this world, life will continue its course. Roberto Carlos, who many say is Brazil's best singer, originally sang the second song Amada Amante. Una Muchacha Y Una Guitarra, this is all Sandro (El Idolo de America - America's Idol), supposedly, needed to sing. During the 70's his voice and his music took control and expanded everywhere from Argentina (where he was born) to the rest of the Americas. With Yo Soy Aquel, Chayanne recognizes Raphael's influence in his life. The native of Spain (Raphael), most experts claim, is said to possess one of the best voices in the world. Chayanne's more upbeat music, yes the one that makes you move and dance, has been influenced by Jose Luis Rodriguez -El Puma, who originally sings Pavo Real/Agarranse De Las Manos. The next two influences on Chayanne's music, we find through his next two interpretations, are both from Mexico. First, it's the Mexican bohemian Jose Jose who first sang Gavilan O Paloma; Jose Jose's romantic music can take a guy or a girl to complete delirium if love is not reciprocated - his music is beautiful, sad, soft and harsh, all at once. The second is Mexico's premiere voice, Juan Gabriel, and Chayanne chose Querida to reflect that. This is an incredible song, but I am surprised he did not choose Abrazame Muy Fuerte, which is (in my terms) the best song I have ever heard. I am also glad to see that my favorite singer in the whole world, Camilo Sesto, has also influenced Chayanne. They both have soft romantic voices, and with Amor Libre Chayanne does an incredible job since the version is a little different but the passion remains. His compatriot, Jose Feliciano, has also contributed, musically speaking, to Chayanne's music and career development. Paso La Vida Pensando is one of many themes interpreted by Jose Feliciano, and Chayanne also does a wonderful job to demonstrate his admiration for Jose Feliciano. The last song, Pedro Navaja, and its original interpreter, Ruben Blades, does not do much for me, but with 9 out of 10 I should not be complaining. It's an unbelievable CD with well-chosen songs; it creates a window for the fans to penetrate Chayanne's world so we can understand where his coming from when he is singing, and to know what he listens to when he is not.

If you've decided to check out Chayanne's music, this is the CD to start with!

I usually don't listen to slow music (even though this does have some fast beat ones)but I had to but this one. It is very sensual and powerful. The words the music and his voice just makes this one uncomparable. Chayanne is Truly an Artist.

I first saw this artist in the movie " DANCE WITH ME ". Shortly thereafter I purchased the movies soundtrack. I then fell in love with his music, and Latin music in general. I find his music Sensual, Passionate,and Smooth. It is true that music can transcend many barriers. I do not speak, or understand Spanish at all, but I love this music ,and Chayannes music particularly.

This album runs a close second to his most recent album "Atado A Tu Amor". Again - every song on this album is a winner. You don't have to speak Spanish to understand the feelings and emotions that Chayanne brings to the ballads - i.e. Tal Vez Es Amor, Solo Pienso en Ti, the desperation in Solamente Tu Amor (Only Your Love), the yearning in Volver A Nacer. Baila, Baila (Dance,Dance) is a great salsa number and Guajira has a great cha-cha beat. If your toes don't start tapping - causing you to get up and dance around the room - nothing will! On Ramito de Flores Chayanne sings about the happiness the beauty of his homeland Puerto Rico brings to him. A really uplifting, happy melody - true caribbean style. All in all, this album is great. Get it soon, sit back, and enjoy a soulful serenade from the consummate performer - Chayanne!

After listening these songs, I could understand what life means, what people like him lives, and what a wonderfull man he is. I can see his feeling through his eyes, and it's heaven. If anyone of you can tell him my gratefulness, I will appreciate it. He is the best singer man I've ever heard, and this CD show it. Other way to feel his feeling is listening the music of "Dance with me" (the movie) It's like a mirror of his heart. I think it is. From Argentina, my love.

Chayanne is definately at the top of my CD picks. Liked his romantic way of presenting love songs, fun loving rock, and easy to dance music. Bought this record and two others of his. Have not been disappointed even though I understand very little Spanish. Will anxiously await his new album this year. He's sentual and very romantic yet rocks with the best.
