Canta En Espanol

This beautiful album (yes,it's an actual record) has been in my family for over 30 years. It is still a timeless classic! I just recently played it on my turntable the other night in all the album's monaural glory; the recording was never originally released in stereo. This was the era where music, regardless if it was recorded in Spanish or English, still obtained those same universal characteristics; Actual live and talented musicians with real instruments and gifted vocalists were the norm. Before the synthesizer or the digital era there were records with all their clicks, pops, ticks and dust (not that that was ever a good thing); It was the muscial material that mattered.

Eydie Gorme & Trio Los Panchos is a traditional Spanish/Latin recording that should not only be listened to by the Spanish community. For non-Spanish speakers this would definitely open up their aural senses to the Panchos and Gorme's excellent craftsmanship of yesteryear.They would also be...Read more

I can't praise this enough. I bought the LP in the 60s and fell in love with it. Somewhere in my wanderings I lost it--I was delighted to find it on CD. Eydie and the Trio Los Panchos are an unbeatable combination for these wonderful boleros. I have many other recording of these songs, but these are my favorites, especially "Piel Canela" and "Sabor a mi." I recommend this CD and ANY CD with Eydie Gorme and Los Panchos. Although some of the love songs are sad, this album will fill you with joy.

This CD is amazing. Heck you can make out, cry & more to this album. Eydie is American, but she belts this out like a Latina, but in her lounge-y 50's voice that she's famous for- as for Trio Los Panchos, what can I say? They're simply the best at what they do- arranging, composing, singing y tocando sus guitarras. Some of the songs have been covered dozens of times (like "Sabor A Mi")but this album has some of the best covers of all time popular old songs in Espanol. Spanish music will never again be like this. Don't let the fact that this is all in Spanish stop you from appreciating the beauty of this music-I have played this around lots of non-Spanish speakers,young & old gringos :) & they love it! This is Spanish music the way it's meant to be-some songs of eternal love, others of eternal heart break (as in "Historia De Un Amor") ballads, all hopelessly romatic, beautiful melodies, guitars & maracas, the works! All without the...Read more
