Editorial Reviews:

Winners of three PREMIOS DE LA MUSICA AWARDS (Spanish Academy of Musical Arts & Sciences) Lágrimas Negras, a collection of old standards performed by Cuban jazz pianist Bebo Valdes and Spanish flamenco vocalist Diego el Cigala.

This was recorded at the suggestion of Hollywood Oscar® Award-winning director, Fernando Trueba (Belle Epoque), which has become a phenomenon in Spain.

The result is a journey that discovers the essence of the Latino "love" song with connections to Cuba, Central and South America, and Spain.

Picked by New York Times critic Ben Rattcliff as "the best album of the year", Lágrimas Negras has had an impressive debut. The album has never been out of the top 30 since its release in Spain over nine months ago, achieving double Platinum sales status. It has won five Amigo Awards, one Premio Ondas, and three Premios de la Musica Awards (including Best Album).

Summary: You Can't Go Wrong Buying This
Comment: While in Spain for 23 days volunteering to help Spanish professionals improve their conversational English skills. I asked my new friends to recommend some authentic musica Espana that I could purchase. Bebo Y Cigala were instant suggestions. So I bought the "Lagrmas Negras" at the Cortes Ingles store and have been listening to it ever since. Soulful and melodic are two adjectives that come to mind.

Customer Rating:

Summary: insanely catchy
Comment: Others have amply covered the virtues of this album. The songs are good, but what really sets it apart is Bebo and Cigalla's phrasing. They're just brilliant. I have tried to remove the disk from the CD player, so far without success.

Summary: Irrepetible
Comment: Aparte de la calidad de grabacion realmente buena , entre el concierto
en directo y el disco encontre pocas diferencias mas alla de lo obio.

El bolero cubano y la voz flamenca se juntan en este disco y dan lugar
a un disco irrepetible , por la edad de Bebo por una parte y por que sera dificil que se vuelvan a conjuntar estos dos estilos tan dispares de
forma tan acertada .

Altamente recomendado ,no para puristas sin mente abierta

Summary: Curiosity killed the cat
Comment: thats what I was thinking when I first saw this CD and deciding whether to buy it or not. A cuban piano player and a gypsy flamenco singer NAAA I don't think it's gonna work,I bought it any way..... I was familar with most of the songs Inolvidable, Lagrimas Negras and had heard them done by other artists many times. but this combination works and what is created is a haunting beautiful version of a song that will change you forever because these are the versions of the songs that will stick in your mind forever and when you hear them again being done by other arists they will not have that special tragic magic that will haunt you forever..... No other version of Lagrimas Negras will ever be good enough to compare....curiosity almost killed the cat but the magic in this CD will surely bring any cat back to life..

Summary: Fabulous Music
Comment: This is one of the most exciting CDs I have bought in the last year. The paring of great musicians of differing musicaly styles and from such different generation is pure genius.
