El Tren de los Momentos: En Vivo Desde Buenos Aires

$19.98

El Tren de los Momentos: En Vivo Desde Buenos Aires finds Alejandro Sanz and company performing some of his latest material in front of a staggeringly large and adoring audience. The CD/DVD set is the inverse of the standard, offering a double portion of Sanz's lively performance on the video compared a somewhat skinny audio offering. Sanz, presenting mainly his standard repertoire from the recent El Tren de los Momentos (released only a year earlier), has the immense audience eating out of the palm of his hand. The tens of thousands of concert attendees seem more than enthusiastic about both his recent hit, "En la Planta de Tus Pies, " and old favorites like "Corazon Partio." The sound quality is slightly subpar for as high a budget as this recording appears to have had. During moments of high intensity, the band's sound leans toward cluttered. Similarly, Sanz's vocal performance clearly profits from the controlled studio environment, and suffers on-stage. There are moments where he's just off and pitchy. On the upside, the band takes chances and liberties with the music that will excite and surprise listeners with a new take on well-worn material. The band's sound is muscular and expert. Though overly complex at times, the arrangements are pure ear candy. The DVD is endlessly entertaining, revealing Sanz and his bandmates as expert performers. Although En Vivo Desde Buenos Aires won't be hard for Sanz to top, fans are likely to find it rich, fun, and ... [Read more]

El Tren de los Momentos [CD/DVD]

$19.98

Released in the wake of Alejandro Sanz's collaboration with Shakira, "La Tortura, " which was far and away the most popular Latin song of 2005, El Tren de los Momentos is a continuation of the broad stylistic excursions of the Spanish superstar's previous album, the Grammy-winning No Es Lo Mismo. Sanz seems increasingly comfortable with moving beyond his comfort zone -- that is, fairly generic romantic ballads laden with complex language sung distinctly -- and here he refines the rough edges of No Es Lo Mismo for an album that is smooth while at the same time risky in its refusal to reprise the sturdy balladeering of his past. Notably, the album is graced with several superstar features, including collaborations with Shakira, Juanes, Alex Gonzalez of Mana, and Residente of Calle 13. These features are some of the album's several highlights, "Te Lo Agradezco, Pero No" and "La Peleita" above all. The lead single, "A la Primera Persona, " is another clear-cut standout. On the surface, it's an odd song, from its immediate opening tension to its concluding avalanche of breathlessness, yet its unconventional structure is a chief aspect of why it's such a memorable and moving song. In fact, if not for the brief trumpet solo two-thirds of the way through, Sanz rambles on almost violently through the song uninterrupted, not even stopping to catch his breath. There are numerous stylistic exercises here, namely "El Tren de los Momentos&quo... [Read more]

El tren pasa primero

$21.33

Este era un hombre que nacio en un pueblito bicicletero y muy pronto entendio que sus dones no eran la belleza y la fortaleza fisica, sino la palabra, la voluntad y su indomable ansia de saber. Un dia el tren paso frente a sus ojos, y en el ruido de la maquina escucho el inicio del relato del resto de su vida. En opinion de Saturnino, uno de sus amigos, ser ferrocarrilero es lo mejor que puede sucederle a un hombre. Y Trinidad Pineda Chinas, el personaje central de esta novela, esta de acuerdo, pues el tren lo lleva a todo: desde su pueblecito en Oaxaca hasta lugares que nunca imagino; desde su precaria posicion de nino consentido hasta el instante en que hablo a sus colegas con tal ardor y conviccion que de ahi salieron dispuestos a luchar por la causa de los trabajadores y pararon de cabeza a un pais y a un regimen. El tren es todo para Trinidad, pues tambien lo lleva a incontables saberes, oficios, personas y posibilidades. El tren es la vida, que duda cabe. Pero si bien ser ferrocarrilero es asunto de hombres, ninguno de ellos es nada sin el apoyo decidido de las mujeres. Madres, esposas, maestras, amantes, adelitas, rieleras, transitan por esta novela con poderosa presencia, con carino sutil, con la fuerza inabarcable que late dentro de cada una. Barbara, Sara, Rosa: apoyo en la lucha, fuerza en el hogar, placer. Como tambien en la vida, las mujeres en esta novela son lo que los hombres no alcanzan a ser, o ni siquiera imaginan. Aman sin reserva y con ese amor mueven ... [Read more]
