“5.0 out of 5 stars

Amazon’s Best Free Music Offering, December 4, 2009

By     Gavin B. (St. Louis MO)

Being curious about all kinds of music I usually download most of the free sampler offerings on Amazon and let the chips fall where they may. In most cases I’m lucky to find two or three tracks I really like and end up dumping the filler tracks.

This Nacional 2009 Sampler of contemporary Latin music is one that deserves your attention because it’s far and away the best free offering I’ve found since Amazon started offering free MP3 downloads about a decade ago. The music is so good I feel guilty about not paying a dime for it. I will certainly be doing some follow up purchases of the following artists on the collection:

Bomba Estero
Fidel Nadal
Gonzalo Yañez
King Coya
Latin Bitman
Monareta
Sara Valenzuela
Señor Coconut
Tonino Carotone
Uproot Andy

I’m not an expert on Latin music but I already own music by Juana Molina, Pinker Tones and Los Fabulosos Cadillacs who are already established international stars, in their own right.

Don’t be a slave to your musical expectations about Latin music. The bands on this collection have plenty of attitude. This music is a far cry from Jose Feliciano, Herb Alpert or the Baja Marimba Band. These musicians are closer in substance to the electronica grooves of worldbeat post-modernists like Theivery Corporation, Chris Joss and Air. You don’t need to speak or understand Spanish to appreciate the music. For those who are North American provinicialists: there are even a few songs in English!

Download the entire album and give it a few spins to let the music sink in. I have yet to dump a single one of the 16 songs because every selection is outstanding. The Nacional offerig is everything a good music sampler should be. I’d pay the standard retail price of $8.99 to download the fine music on this Nacional sampler. “

Want to listen? It’s FREE! Download it and see for yourself!
