CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Colombian singer Carlos Vives continues his exploration of the sounds of his homeland on El Amor de Mi Tierra, a lush collection that also includes rumba, cumbia, and Caribbean rhythms anchored by an earthy, folksy flavor. Vives, a former television actor, polishes it with a glowing pop sheen, thanks to solid production from Latin-music mogul Emilio Estefan. The pair work wonderfully together on tracks such as "Tu Amor Eterno," "El Cante," "La Receta," and especially "Fruta Fresca," a desperately romantic moment that has become Vives's biggest radio hit. Vocally, Vives keeps his delivery suitably grounded, working within the infectious rhythms of the music instead of fighting against it or struggling to remain on top. It makes for a consistently engaging, refreshingly uncomplicated musical experience. --Joey Guerra Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsThe Best Yet Lina A. Garcia | New York, NY | 01/07/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is an incredible album. Carlos Vives has really matured through the last couple of years. A different rythm from Tengo Fe, which was more classical, I believe with this two albums Carlos Vives has finally found his path. This album is a mix of Vallenato, Cumbia, and inland beats, that rock you. I recommend El Amor de mi Tierra, Fruta Fresca and 19 de Noviembre. As an excellent and innovative performance of one of Colombia's most beatiful songs, La Piragua was masterfully performed." Folk / Rock en Castellano linda c kenny | New Jersey, USA | 03/31/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "I first heard Carlos Vives when a friend gave me "La Gota Fria". That is a great CD with musica tipica flavor from Colombia. It was something new for me because Vives brought a fresh interpretation with a great beat to the songs, but remained faithful to the traditional instruments and sounds. "El amor de mi Tierra" takes the concept a step further. I can hear more of the artist's own style yet the folk influence is there. I loved it, it's a fresh and different sound and I hope the Spanish radio stations will give it a lot of airtime. Music is so diverse from one Spanish speaking country to another, this CD is a great addition to any collection. Vives has great love and respect for his country's musical traditions yet I think his style can appeal to an international audience." Lovely Severini | Neuquén, Argentina | 08/30/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "first of all, i must apologise with you because of my english. well, try to understand, ok? i also want to share with you what i think of this cd. to be honest i don't usually listen or buy music of carlos vives (i liked very much, from "La Tierra del Olvido" :pa'mayte and la tierra del olvido). But when i hear Fruta Fresca, inmediatly i decided to buy it. something happened to me, i fall in love with that song. even thouh, honestly i did not expect to like all the album as i really LIKE IT NOW!. since that time, i'm telling all my friends to buy it. emotions will get you when you listen to (in my opinion) the 5 firts songs. i hope you share what i wrote with me."
