Romantica - Liner Notes: Music provides the soundtrack to our lives. Every couple knows what happens when "they're playing our song." Music somehow captures the most complex emotional states, the most mysterious moments of a relationship. In a few minutes you can relive the best or the worst moments of your lives together. I got my first kiss while Dominico Modugno crooned "Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu (Volare)" and rocked the night away to "Oye Como Va" before I knew who Tito Puente was. Music, like love, is a universal language, and this compilation has 11 international love letters that run the gamut from passionate love to transcendent spiritual love that holds every thing alive in its hands. --- J. Poet Although Romantica - Great Love Songs From Around the World has a title that suggests it could be sold on cable TV at 3:00 in the morning, such is not the case. Released to commemorate Valentine's Day, the latest compilation from Putumayo explores the diverse ways in which people express love. Romantica boasts 11 artists representing nine countries, including Scotland, Greece, Brazil, and Nigeria. The featured artists draw on traditional elements as well as Western pop forms, resulting in a thoroughly enjoyable record. Of special note are the selections by Toshi Reagon and Majek Fashek that were recorded especially for this release. --- Annette C. Eshleman Dirty Linen |
