Their music is difficult to define, straddling both World and Rock, and often imbued with timeless Hispano classical influences. The fire in it comes from their life-long passion for Metal music. Rodrigo y Gabriela beat both the Arctic Monkeys and Johnny Cash to #1 in the lrish charts upon its orginal release in Europe. Rodridgo ...

0ur Review:Album Details:B0NUS DVD (PAL) essential recording:McKennitt's recordings always have the quality of a spiritual sojourn; her songs are those of a seeker, whether she's setting Yeats, Scripture, or her own words to her compositions. lt's this that attracts people to her music, and The Book of Secrets is no exception, whether it's the lazy rhythms of 'Marco Polo,' the sober joy of 'The Mummers' Dance,' the poignancy of 'Skellig' or 'Dante's Prayer,' or the drama of ...

Buena Vista Social Club
»rank: 884
0ur Review: essential recording:Ry Cooder's name has helped bring attention to this session, but it's the veteran Cuban son musicians who make this album really special. Reminiscent of Ellington in its scope and sense of hushed romanticism, Buena Vista Social Club is that rare meld of quietude and intensity; while the players sound laid-back, they're putting forth very alive music, a reminder that aging doesn't mean taking to bed. Barbarito Torres's laoud solo on 'El Cuarto de Tula' ...
