A bit about myself. I'm a guitarist and am learning spanish. I have found it useful to learn songs with spanish words to enhance my language skills.Over the years, I have purchased a number of songbooks containing songs with words in spanish, but found this one to be the most useful, because the songs are more contemporary. Many of the songs in this book are available on CD's by various latin performers.If you speak any spanish, you will find fascination in the translations. For instance the words to Perfidia simply do not match at all with the English translation. Have some fun with this, and see what you would have used instead.The musical scores are excellent, with very nice guitar chords.My personal favorite is Reloj, the very romantic interpretation of time with a lover, or time away from a lover. But there are many other romance standards in this collection that will enhance your repertoire.Picture yourself with your guitar standing beneath your lover's window, singing songs from this collection. Ah, the language of love, with the songs, is sure to be a hit.Kevin McCusker
I am a beginer piano player and because of that I found the songbook very difficult... But still, I am able to see that this book is very complete and as soon as I improve my piano skills I will be able to play my favourite boleros!Meanwhile, I'll keep dreaming and trying to perform some melodies from this great songbook!
Very nice book. The songs have nice arrangements for piano and guitar and so far all the transcriptions seem to be pretty accurate. The only thing I don't like is that some songs do not have the little drawings showing finger positions for certain chords. This is somewhat annoying because those songs are full of unusual chords (F+7, for example) so I have to find and memorize the chord positions in a "chord dictionary" book before being able to play the songs without stopping in the middle.Other than that, I think it's a great book and would recommend it.
Excellent selection of Boleros. This is an excellent book for a musician, a singer and also for some one who is not a professional, but has a strong interest in latin music.
this book is really good i love it and the song selection is good too, i am using mostly all the songs from this book for recitals and auditions. really good book if your looking for mexican, latin songs and classics.
