Search - Calle Sur :: Obsesión

Obsesión is beautiful, happy, touching, sexy, rambunctious, soothing, familiar, and surprising. Obsesión is exactly what Calle Sur meant it to be: a broad sampler of what makes Latin American music so great. In this album you will find new arrangements of familiar classics, such as the title tune "Obsesión," from Puerto Rico, and the Venezuelan folk song "Alma Llanera." If you?ve ever thought you heard Guantanamera one time too many, think again. I guarantee that you will find yourself singing your heart out to Calle Sur's version of this compelling and profoundly poetic piece. The album also contains rare treasures, such as the Argentinean round "Echen Coplas, Compañeros" and the Ladino lullaby, "Durme, Kerido Hijiko." The CD includes the lyrics to the songs, as well as a short MPEG video of scenes recorded at several of Calle Sur?s live performances. No matter how extensive or limited your collection of Latin American music, you can?t go wrong with Obsesión.
