Various Artists - El Canto de las Sirenas
- El Canto de las Sirenas, (The Sirens’ Songs), pays tribute to the lovely Latin ladies whose voices are timeless cultural treasures. Produced by Time Life, this collection of fourteen traditional love songs include hits spanning from the 1930s to the 1980s and representing countries such as Mexico, Puerto Rico, Peru, and Argentina.
You don’t have to speak a word of Spanish to appreciate El Canto – only open your ears and the music is sure touch your romantic sensibilities. The festive “La Flor de la Canela” has become an anthem for the city of Lima, a fitting tribute to Peruvian vocalist Chabuca Granda. Virginia Lopez’ classic delivery soars on “Perfume de Gardenias,” and celebrated Cuban singer Olga Guillot’s deep, rich timbre on “Tu Me Acostumbraste” complemented by the jazzy piano and soft percussion of a bolera ballad, is nothing short of “Maravillosa!!!” “El Canto de las Sirenas,” part of a 10 disc collection, showcases the talented feminine voices that continue to enchant their homeland and fans abroad.
