Music Reviews of Proxima Estación: Esperanza
Music Review: Fantastic!
Rating: 4 Stars
I heard this CD playing at a local Borders Book Store and I had to buy it on the spot. It was ecclectic, funky, and it makes you happy! What more can you ask for? I was completely unfamiliar with this artist so I had no real pre-conceived notions about what this CD might be like. Suffice it to say, this is a great CD, I listen to it very often and recommend it to all my friends. Between his voice, his arrangements that run the gamut from Jamaican to Brazilian influences, I have yet to find someone who doesn't like this CD. GET IT!
Music Review: Beyond categorization
Rating: 4 Stars
This is a great follow up to "Clandestino". Manu's knowledge of latin music is encyclopedic. He continues to develop this really hypnotic interlatin(did I just invent a word?) groove. Someone commented that there's a "recycle" of 'King of the bongo'. It's based on the same song, but the lyrics have been twisted all around. Manu goes beyond the latin feel that pervades the album, though, at times sounding like a latin version of the Beatles. Definitely one that will spend a lot ot time in the CD player.Music Review: Clandestino II
Rating: 4 Stars
Let me start by saying that Clandestino is a classic, and that status probably won't be eclipsed by this release. Proxima Estacion: Esperanza is, however, a fine album, and I'm sure I'll listen to it over and over this summer (especially when Manu comes to Summerstage!!). There's really not any change of musical personality over three years demonstrated here, and some songs (and sound effects) are almost exact pastiches of what appears on Clandestino. It is nonetheless a great formula, and I love Manu and the message he bears.Music Review: this is more than music
Rating: 5 Stars
haven't you ever listened to an album that felt so right, so true, so fresh that you had to listen to it over and over, wishing you could hear that same music again and again without hearing the same album again and again?manu chao is constructing a musical terratrophica not comprised of one melody or one album, but so far two albums which are both similar and different bound together with shared melody, fleshing out the full emotional possibilities of these simple tunes. this is the continuity of an aesthetic vision.
Music Review: Terrible album
Rating: 1 Stars
A friend of mine gave me this junk as a birthday present and I must admit that this is one of the most terrible CD i own.I love world music but this man just can't sing.I had the bad impression to listen to the same song over and over again. Pure .... Moreover, the man tries in vain to speak french, spanish, english and i don't know why, but the result is just embarrassing. Try great albums like Pink Martini ("Sympathique"), Bebel gilberto("Tanto Tiempo) but don't make the mistake to buy this awful piece of garbage.
