"I'm pretty happy with this CD. I think the first nine songs are pretty cool and enjoy dancing to most of them. These first nine tracks have very upbeat rythms. However, the rest of the songs are older and more boring. Perhaps it's just because I'm young, but I find myself skipping through those last several tracks. To be honest, if the last 7 tracks weren't as boring, I'd give this CD a higher rating. I think it's cool that this CD has the Austin Powers theme song (track 9, "Soula Bossa Nova") on it. Yeah baby!"
Buenissimo!

"I love the mixture of songs on this CD...there are songs to dance to and songs to daydream to. I travelled to California for the first time this past summer and I bought it over there. So listening to it reminds me of my sweet sultry summer experiences and of finally being 21. Some songs which I simply worship are "Light my fire" and "Oye como Va"."

"The changes to the original artists' work on this album cause significant loss to the music quality. What a disappointment!"
Good spread of popular Latin songs

"If you're one of those Latin song buffs, you might want to check this album out. It has a wide spread of Latin songs ranging from "La Bamba" to "Mas Que Nada". A good mix of ever popular songs and forgotten one."
