I don't think there is an album out there that brings back old memories for me like this one. I turn on the first song and I swear it's '96 again and I'm back in Knoxville TN with my family. Nothin but classics.

This video wasn't exactly what I expected. It is presented in a lecture style that young students find boring.

The video didn't keep my son interested. I watched it, it was to boring.

The mellifluous tunes of Carlos Vives changed my life this past summer during many recumbent evenings in Valencia, Spain. They will change your life, too, if you will but listen to them.What I mean is: Oh - my - God... this CD is, like, totally rad. You'll friggin' love it.

"Fruta Fresca" is simply fabulous. It's the song he performed on the Latin Grammys and one that I always want to play over and over. Written by Vives, it's overflowing with life and emotion. Oh ! to be loved with such passion...the object of his affection is a very fortunate woman.Of the other 10 tracks, "La Receta" is a favorite, and the rendition of "La Piragua" is a knockout. This CD is an Emilio Estefan production, and the arrangements and musicianship are superb thoughout. Mayt�� Montero on gaitas, Egidio Cuadrado on acorde��n, and Andr��s Castro on guitarra are a delight to listen to.The booklet is nice though you'll need a magnifying glass to read the lyrics, but you'll be dancing to these great rhythms instead of reading anyway..."Si si si/ este amor es tan profundo/ que tu eres mi consentida/ que lo sepa todo el mundo"

Vives surge a la popularidad con el excelente clasicos de provinciaLuego lanza dos cd siendo la tierra del olvidoel rescatable. Con este ultimo trabajo nos encontramos con el espiritu y el ritmo de su mejor musica. Creo que todo el que guste de la buena musica latina, debe tenerlo en su coleccion
