Funny and Original Songs!!.......2003-12-31

I find this CD very interesting to listen to!! I could not believe that the person who produced and compiled this album was none other than Weird Al Yankovic!! That was a cool surprise!! The very first sonng on this CD is comical and excellent to dance to!!!! The other songs bring me back lots of memories when Lucy was doing her funny routines on the show!! I find this CD very enjoyable to Lucille Ball fans!!!!

Babalu Music!.......2003-03-09

I have just purchased this cd. If you like the music on I Love Lucy, you will just LOVE this cd!! My favorites are Cuban Pete and We're Having A Baby. If you like latin or cuban music, this is the cd to buy!

I love this cd so much.......2002-06-21

This is a must have for all diehard Lucy fans, or even just casual fans. This cd will bring back all the great memories from the show...and plus, Desi is just a great musical artist. I love, love, love this cd...

Babalu Forever.......2002-01-07

If you are an I Love Lucy fan than this CD is a must for you! I ordered this CD the other day and have listened to it 4 times already. There is something for every music lover here from the latin beat of Babulu to the melodious There's A Brand New Baby At Our House. I grew up watching reruns of I Love Lucy as well as listening to Desi's music and I never tire of it.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2001-02-23

This is definately worth the money. The best recognition of the I Love Lucy show yet. Al Yankovic should be commended for his GREA T work. See he's not so "weird" after all.

Could Have Been Much Better.......2005-12-31

It's too bad these songs from the late 1940s are in such sad shape. While the liner notes list Bill Lacey for 'Audio Restoration', the sound quality is still pretty poor.
The songs seem to be culled from singles and various film selections.
Jane Harvey and Amanda Lane pick up the vocals on a few of the songs, with Desi carrying the weight on others. 11 pages of liner notes and biography are included in this current packaging.
If you are looking for the Desi Arnaz excitement from his performances on the 'I Love Lucy' show of the later 1950s, this collection will leave you disappointed. While the seeds of his genius are here, Desi Arnaz, like Xavier Cugat in the same time period, only got better after these earlier recordings.
He certainly deserves better than this collection gives.

Maybe my favorite CD.......2003-01-16

A friend first gave me this CD 5 years ago. At first I thought it was a joke, and that it would remind me of various I Love Lucy episodes. But I began listening to it at work and really came to appreciate Desi Arnaz's talent and the humor in the songs.

Many of them are catchy tunes you'll find yourself singing and rhumba-ing to across your living room. I highly recommend it as an entertaining pleasant CD for a party or for your own ambient listening. Forget the Cuban Pete you saw on I Love Lucy. The songs you'll hear are simply great Cuban-inspired music.

Desi Arnez : Singer and actor.......2000-06-09

Desi Arnez is not only he is a great singer but marryed one of Hollywoods best actors Lucille Ball (For a short time .)Desi died in 1987 but his music well live on for years to come .

Wonderful! If you love Great Orchestra's, and Latin Rythym.........2000-03-09

...You will indeed love the sounds of a more innocent time in the late 1940's. Desi Arnaz, in my opinion has been over-looked and under-rated. He is Sensational on this CD! A very scarce and hard to find CD! Go for it! D. Thomas

Highly under-rated entertainer supremo.......1999-10-01

As a kid in Miami, my night club loving Grandmother would haul me around to the best floor shows....my favorite then and now ( 40 years later ) is Desi. He may not be the best vocalist, but the band, the arrangements and the sheer entertainment value is very, very solid. Fans of the TV show will certainly be pleased, but those who are looking to fill a niche in their collection of Latin or nightclub/lounge won't be disapointed.

In the 25 years since its foundation, the Cuban fusion group Irakere has become a musical franchise. The names have changed--some members, including reedman and cofounder Paquito D'Rivera, trumpeter Arturo Sandoval, and reedman Carlos Averhoff, have since defected; others, like reedman Jose Luis Cortes and flutist Orlando "Maraca" Valle have gone on to lead their own groups--but Irakere remains. Throughout, the group, anchored by cofounder pianist-arranger-composer Jesus "Chucho" Valdés, has not only balanced roots with technology, tradition with innovation, but also, more pragmatically, the demands of dance floor with jazz experimentation. Babalu Aye's program includes dance music, a rock fusion update of Ernesto Lecuona's "La Comparsa," and the suitelike, religious Afro-Cuban title track. The dance songs--featuring serviceable Jose Miguel on vocals, with jazz-flavored arrangements and virtuoso soloing over tight grooves--have flair and substance. The centerpiece of this release however, is the 14-minute "Babalu Aye." It features religious akpon (lead singer) Lazaro Ros and the music here is as sober and stark (mostly voice and drums) as the other tracks are exuberant. It makes this CD a rare, compact package of music for the feet and soul. --Fernando Gonzalez

Irakere's smoking CD,,.......2002-10-26

Irakere has always been one of my favorate cuban groups this CD is definitely one of almong others, that let's you hear how beautiful latin music really is....

IRAKERE'S JAMING CD.......2002-01-02

IRAKERE is no longer the band it use to be,chucho valdes change the singer and that definity changed their original style...

Irakere plays salsa on this Grammy nominated CD.......1999-02-20

Is it me? Or is Latin music going through an unprecedented fermentation? Cuban son leads to New York Salsa. Cuban son leads to Latin jazz. Cuban son, Latin jazz and New York Salsa combine in Havana to produce Songo or Cuban Salsa. Round and round it goes, with walls coming down all over the place.

Irakere came on the scene in the late '70s with a style of Latin jazz that incorporated soaring jazz brass with quite traditional Cuban rhythms, and punctuated by electric guitars and a funky bass. In the years since, Irakere music has been characterized by a hot jazz sound with a very danceable beat.

Now comes "Babalu Ayé", Irakere's latest CD in which they close a circle of sorts. Most of the songs on this album are Salsa Cubana, some sounding very much like the original NY salsa of years past. But of course, salsa with the Irakere flair: electric guitars with the distortion cranked up coming in and out; the horn section playing tightly, then loosening considerably in the solos, putting little relaxed ornaments around each phrase, then suddenly tightening up again; the whole band chanting phrases in unison. Then after plenty of straight-ahead Salsa Cubana, the CD is finished off with a mighty rumba. Lazaro Ros, accompanied by bata drums, a coro singing responses and the occasional Irakere instrumental, sings the story of healer Babalu Ayé, taking us back to the African traditions that still live on in Cuba, perhaps more strongly than in any other African-based community in the Americas.

Irakere has always stayed close to their Afro-Cuban roots. Now on "Babalu Ayé" they also pay homage to another, much more urban source of the Irakere sound. This CD provides a very satisfying picture of the contrasts that make Afro-Latin music so rich.
