Free Music Notes for Island Life
Free Music Review: Best motivation to learn Spanish ever!!
Hit: 4 Stars
Well, OK. I can think of one motivation that might be better. But this CD is amazing, even for a white boy that knows no Spanish. It's a big island where all you need to do is love the rhythm and the music!
This is a concept album that works because it is all about fun. Andres Levin takes us on a tour of the island that seems to move from funky to hip hop to Cuban to god knows where. It pokes fun at itself and some easy targets (Pres. Bush).
So don't miss out. Even if you don't speak spanish, you will like this one. But as they say, two tongues are better than one, baby.
Free Music Review: Great disc
Hit: 5 Stars
I love the CD and recommend it to anyone! President Alien (Yerba Buena) is the BOMB as well.Free Music Review: Island Life
Hit: 5 Stars
I first heard of Yerbabuena, while listening to NPR's "The World", and immediately knew that I had to get the CD. Yerbabuena is explosive, witty, and well executed. I'm not sure what other reviewers are referring to... the album is a gem in my opinion, catchy lyrics, great fusion, good instrumentation...not to mention contributions by Diego "El Cigala", Orishas, and others.
It's a shame that Yerbabuena does not get airtime play in broadcast stations (yet), they are certainly a cut above the overplayed reggeton, salsa and repetitive ballads in Latin radio. If you are tired of all the above, this album is for you. Enjoy.
Free Music Review: Trying too hard
Hit: 3 Stars
Andres Levin is a genius ... behind the console. When put in front of a band, he's merely ok. He is a great producer and sound engineer, yet his two efforts w/ Yerba Buena somehow fail to grasp my imagination the way other latin and spanglish bands do. For an excellent example of music PRODUCED but not performed by Mr. Levin, I recommend our countrymen (yes, both Levin and me are venezuelans) Los Amigos Invisibles' first american published album "The new sound of the Venezuelan Gozadera.Free Music Review: A marvelous CD
Hit: 5 Stars
Yes of course one of the best latin music "spanglish" cd of these years.
Don't miss it.
