Great mood setter,
This is a pretty darned good sampling of Latin music. My wife saw the movie and immediately picked up the CD (I guess that says something good about the movie.) We’ve listened to it several times over and enjoyed it quite a bit. My one complaint is that it is uneven. Some of the songs on the CD aren’t as good as others and it makes it hard to listen to the CD straight through. We were introduced to several great artists through this CD, and if you are looking for some fun Latin stuff, then I highly recommend picking up some albums from the artists represented on the CD, especially: Los Amigos Invisibles, Lila Downs, and Bebel Gilberto. And while you are at it, you should pick up Susana Baca’s CD too.

|It will capture your latin soul.,
This is a great introduction to new interesting Latin Music groups with styles ranging from Cha Cha Cha, Brazilian, Latin Pop to Cuban Folk. All excellent songs. Lila Downs voice alone will make you melt. There are no bad/boring songs on this cd. Plus the cd notes include about 10 recipes from the movie.

|Feel good movie and feel good music,
This movie was a feast for the senses! The music had so much to do with the experience. This is a must have if you love the movie as much as I do!
