Free Music Notes for Songs of Almodóvar
Free Music Review: at long last!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I've loved Almodovar's films since I watched and rewatched "Women on the Verge" back in college (around 1988, if I recall). Music, of many genres, is so central to his movie-making, and through his films I was introduced to a whole world of music (namely, that of the bolero and the ranchera) which I had hardly known before and which have enriched my life since. I loved the songs in his movies so much that I bought lots of CD's of boleros and rancheras trying to track down the pieces from the various movies, whose soundtracks were not available. It was worth going through all that trouble, as I discovered so much more music beyond the songs from the films. Earlier this year in Madrid, I was happy to see that this compilation had come out. Any Almo fan should get it, and definitely anyone interested in getting a taste of various styles (though far from all) of Hispanic music.Free Music Review: Songs of Almodovar is a fun and energizing CD.

You don't need to know any Spanish to enjoy these songs, but it doesn't hurt. Many of them have an uplifting 80s beat while others are sweetly sad. Although the grungy music (track no. 3) can be tiresome, most of the CD is entertaining. If you are strictly anti-80s and you hated "Fame" and Gypsy Kings, you may be disappointed. If you like the afore-mentioned and you like to dance, you will love this album. Some personal favorites: No. 5, 11, &13 and so many more. Give Almodovar a try.Free Music Review: Finalmente!

I'm chinese. I don't even speak Spanish. But I have been driven by the beautiful music here to learn the language. The pain, joy, human experience conveyed in the music make me wanna sing, cry, vamp...life in its multitude of histrionics is beautiful! Songs no. 1 and 2 are my favorite songs! Song no. 15 is way more hopelessly depressing than Jacques Brel's versions-I love it! The coarse voices, Spanish guitar, images of Almodovar's stories...As an Almodovar fan I have been searching for this CD- a compilation of the music in his films in stores but to no avail..when I saw it on line. I bought it immediately. I am happy with this purchase. I am in happy melancholia over these songs.
