"No Regrets For Our Youth"

"Daniela Romo is a new artist in my library. There was one song I kept hearing on our Latin radio stations which really entranced me and I heard it once in a Mexican restaurant. I asked the waiter who the artist and song was, and he told me about Romo, and the song, "De Mi Enamorate". This, I think, is the greatest song on her album, "Mis Mejores Canciones--17 Super Exitos". There is a certain sentimental atmosphere of our collective youth in Romo's music, and that romance and fantasy come out in "Enamorate". Another great selection on the album is the first cut, "Quiero Amanecer Con Alguien". The seventeen songs on the album give a complete example of Romo's body of work, and there is a definite consistency in her performance ability. I would like to learn Spanish, and although I can't understand the lyrics on this album, it seems clear that there is a fine poetry in many of the songs. Even so, the musical tunes can completely carry the attention of the listener even if he or she doesn't speak the language. This album is highly recommended because it captures a time in all of our lives which elicits the magic and love that we always long for."
FANTASTIC!!

"Daniela Romo is to Mexico and the Latino World what Madonna, Cher, and Whitney Houston are to the U.S. and Europe -- a musical genius who sings top notch material and has a great voice. This CD compiles her greatest hits. Every song is a modern-day classic, particularly the catchy (& danceable) "Yo No Te Pido La Luna" (translated: "You Don't Have To Give Me The Moon"), and the ethereal soulful rendering of "Amadar Mas Que Nunca.""
