Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very enjoyable!
My review is for the MP3 download version of the album, as the CD is out of print and the download was significantly cheaper than paying shipping for a used one. I'm always leery about getting MP3s for older music, as the sound quality can be iffy enough even before conversion. However, this MP3 album sounds just fine to me; it is what it is--glorious mono reproduced as well as could be hoped, and not artificially enhanced. It has the feel of an old radio program wafting to you from another time ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Truly Livin' la Vida Loca!
In the 50's, every Monday night, Middle America tuned in to see our favorite crazy redhead and this dark, handsome Cuban singing in Spanish, way before Ricky Martin and Enrique Iglesias in the 90's and 00's. There is nothing new with America's love with Cuban music -- this Cd is a great compilation of Desi's best. There is his "Cuban Pete" (who "doesn't teach you in a hurray like Arthur Murray.."). "Cumbanchero" embraces the great spirit of carnival time in Santiago de Cuba (home of "the Conga"). ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - GREAT!
While the disk could be remastered for some of the "picky/more modernesque" folks, this is really a gem of a recording...it sounds like those great recordings did, when original, and frankly, it is a treat to hear a "true" recording in these days of overdone cleanliness.

If you like music with a Cuban flavor, go for this one...period!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - LUCY LOVED DESI
And you will to. This music conveys the happy feeling of Latin music produced for the American ear from 1946 to 1949. I picked up the album from Amazon after listening to selected cuts offered by the Yahoo Music radio service -- "El Cumbanchero" and "Cuban Pete". The cuts are almost all strong and all are well recorded, especially when you compare the sound quality to those on some other big band recordings that have been reissued.
"Babalu" which became Desi Arnez signature piece on the I Love ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Unbelievable! chea!
This crazy mf has an insane flow! The beats are some of the illest of the year, maybe the decade! His rap verses are incredible, fn flawless. Even the hooks are hot. If you like music you MUST get this album. In fact, yes I DEMAND that you get this album: do it! do it! I, as dictator of Everything have decided. yes, yes, desi is certainly one of the greatest people in the history of the world- compared to him, most people are sucky and futile. Don't you agree??
So in conclusion, please pick ... Read More
