Rating: - * Sometimes lost in translation but... ... At Latin America, ABBA has a legion of die-hard fans. We love their music and we don't need to hear the songs in our language, so these versions may be recorded for Spanish fans (I mean: from Spain) but their are talking and singing as Latin American. We accept ABBA's effort even with that strange pronunciation (we need to read the lyrics in Spanish to understand what are they singing!!!). Some lyrics sounds really strange in Spanish and have no sense ("Conociéndome, Conociéndote", "Ring Ring") but the good ones are really-really good. I think the best translation is "Al Andar" ("Move on"), so its music has a particular Latin American sound. Fernando sounds like a South American song too. All songs represent one of the most beautiful efforts to conquer our hearts and we take it like it is. Frida and Agnetha would make it bad or make it good, but we still love these versions. (By the way, in Peru their music still sounds at the radio every day...). Rating: - * ABBA ORO ... ABBA in total Spanish was a treat I did not expect! I honestly believe the songs on this album sound better in Spanish than English...and I am a Georgia native. The vitality and beauty of the songs remains true to the classic, and I wish I could buy more in Spanish. Rating: - * ABBA ORO ... I had purchased this item on tape years ago and decided that I wanted to purcase it on DVD. To me, this is the greatest DVD I own. Rating: - * Oro is pure Gold, of course! ... Just as any ABBA album, ORO is simply divine. It includes all their Spanish hits from Fernando and Chiquitita to Dame! Dame! Dame! (Gimme, Gimme, Gimme), Estoy soñando (I Have a Dream) and Al andar (Move On). All fifteen songs have great sound quality and are perfect to dance at party or simply to enjoy a nice evening with good music. This is a MUST-HAVE for every ABBA Fan. Como cualquiera de las grabaciones de ABBA, ORO es simplemente divino. El mismo incluye todos sus éxitos en español desde Fernando y Chiquitita hasta Dame! Dame! Dame!, Estoy soñando y Al andar. Las quince canciones tienen una gran calidad de sonido y son perfectas para bailar en una fiesta o simplemente disfrutar una velada con buena música. Es un disco esencial para todos los fanáticos de ABBA. Rating: - * Good music in ANY language! ... I bought this cd for a couple of reasons. I am learning Spanish and knew I would enjoy the latin versions of these famous tunes; and, this weekend I'm going to see the hit musical "Mamma Mia" (saw it a few years back and LOVED it!!!) and I know this cd will get me revved up for the fun! This cd contains several of my favorite ABBA songs---"Chiquitita", "Fernando", "La Reina del Baile" (Dancing Queen), "Estoy Sonando" (I Have a Dream) and "Mamma Mia" to name a few. In Spanish the songs retain all the charm and great pop sound of their English counterparts. You will not need to know Spanish (I know very little!) to enjoy the music. Good music will transend any language and it is certainly true of this set of chart topping 70s hits! After hearing this cd, I am planning on buy "Mas Oro", another collection containing more latin music from ABBA. I definitely recommend this to ABBA fans! |
