·"Recopilación Zitarrosa" - Alfredo Zitarrosa

Alfredo Zitarrosa (b. March 10, 1936, d. on January 17, 1989 in Montevideo, Uruguay; a Uruguayan singer, composer, poet, writer and journalist. He is regarded as one of the most important figures in the popular music of his country and Latin America in general. Among the songs which became big hits are included "Doña Soledad" (Miss Soledad), "Recordándote" (Remembering you), "Stéfanie", "Adagio a mi país" (Adagio to my country) , "Zamba Por Vos" (Zamba for you), "El Violín de Becho" (Becho's violin) and the poem by milonga "Guitarra negra" (Black Guitar). As a poet, he was honored by the Inspectorate of Montevideo with the Municipal Poetry Award of 1959, for the book Explicaciones (Explanations) , which he never wanted to publish. In 1988 his storybook Por si el recuerdo (In case I remember), was published, containing stories written at various times during his life. Like any creator, Alfredo Zitarrosa nourishes his work from several sources, but even so, in his particular case emphasis has to be placed on the highly autobiographical nature of his compositions.

· "Quelqu'un M'a Dit" - Carla Bruni

Originally best-known as an Italian-born model, Carla Bruni has matured into a remarkably talented and self-possessed singer-composer-guitarist. Her debut album, sung mostly in French, could best be described as neo-chanson. Bruni's whispery, wobbly, husky voice, wryly deadpan delivery and introspective lyrics recall Francoise Hardy, Barbara, Jane Birkin and Nico. But unlike her forebears, who so often posed as waif-like child-women and doormat-like victims of passion, Bruni remains firmly on top. Her lyrics can and do celebrate true love but she also praises the delights of female sexual empowerment in no uncertain terms, as on "J'en Connais". Musically, the tunes range from folk Français to echoes of le jazz hot to bluesy torch numbers. The spare, mostly acoustic instrumentation is unfussy and atmospheric, while the I-couldn't-care-less ambience is occasionally punctuated by chimes, insouciant whistling or an impudent, sly giggle. Rarely does an album come along that touches everyone who listens to it, even those that do not speak the language in which it was recorded. Quelqu’un M’a Dit captures you with the first note and leaves you humming the last. The Franco-Italian model-singer-songwriter sings of love and loves lost with the ability to evoke powerful images across any language barrier.

· "La Paloma" - Joan Manuel Serrat

Joan Manuel Serrat's first LP sung in Spanish (1968). He's been recording since 1965 but only in Catalan. This album was originally a compilation of different singles plus a couple of songs recorded specifically for this release. This is the super-rare stereo master unreleased on CD until this day. Also, here it features some singles from 1969 and alternate takes as bonus, plus the controversial Eurovision single "La La La" which was retired in 1968 due to Serrat's decision to sing in Catalan instead of Spanish in Eurovision (in fact he was vetoed from Spanish radio and TV) also remaining unreleased since 1968.

· "Eco2" - Jorge Drexler

Jorge Drexler (born Jorge Abner Drexler Prada on September 21, 1964) is an Uruguayan singer and songwriter. In 2004 Drexler won wide acclaim after becoming the first Uruguayan ever to win an Academy Award. He won for composing the song "Al Otro Lado del Río" from The Motorcycle Diaries film about Che Guevera's early days. Drexler was born in Montevideo to a Jewish family. His German parents migrated to Uruguay to escape German persecution. After they faced criticism in Uruguay they moved to Israel for a year. From this Drexler is fluent in Hebrew. Like much of his family, he studied medicine and became an otolaryngologist ear, nose and throat specialist. He also studied music and recorded two albums, which were only released in Uruguay. In 1995 he was invited to Madrid by well-known Spanish songwriter Joaquín Sabina, who introduced him to other important Spanish singers. Drexler went to Spain to record the album Vaivén in 1996 with Spanish musicians. "Vaivén" included some old songs from his previous releases mixed with new compositions. He moved to Spain and recorded another four albums: "Llueve (1998)", "Frontera" (1999), "Sea" (2001) and "Eco" (2004). Although he lives most of the year in Spain, his latest three albums were partially recorded in Uruguay with Uruguayan musicians. Juan Campodónico and Carlos Casacuberta have produced Drexler's albums since "Frontera". His music is a combination of Uruguayan traditional music (candombe, murga, milonga), bossa nova, pop, jazz and electronic music, which results in very personal compositions with original arrangements. The words also play an important role in his songs. Apart from love, reflections about identity, race and religions are a constant in his work. In my honest opinion this album (first released in 2004 as "Eco", and re-released in 2005 as "Eco2" which was exactly the same album but with 3 added bonus tracks) is his best work until today.

· "Sabina Pirata" - Joaquín Sabina

Joaquín Ramón Martínez Sabina (Úbeda, Spain, 12 February 1949), known artistically as Joaquín Sabina, is a singer, songwriter, and poet. He has released fourteen studio albums, two live albums, and three compilation albums. In 1975 he wnt to live in London using a fake passport under the name Mariano Zugasti, to avoid persecution from Francisco Franco's government after throwing a Molotov Cocktail into a government building. That same year, his own father received an order to arrest Joaquin Sabina due to his anti-Franco ideals. In 1975, Sabina started writing songs and singing at local bars. In a local bar called "Mexicano-Taverna" Sabina performed in the presence of George Harrison, who was celebrating his birthday. The ex-Beatle then gave Sabina a five-pound note as tip, which Sabina still preserves to this day. When Franco's dictatorship ended in 1975, Sabina returned to Spain and was forced to join the military service but, feeling imprisoned, he got married in order to be able to sleep outside the barracks. Sabina's first album, Inventario (Inventory) was released in 1978 by a small label called Movieplay, but the album largely went unnoticed. Afterwards, he moved to the powerful CBS (today Sony) and released Malas compañías (Bad Companies). This album gave Sabina his first number-one hit single "Pongamos que hablo de Madrid" (Let's say I´m talking about Madrid), and the artist attained wide recognition. He released a live album called La mandrágora (The Mandrake), sharing the spotlight with bandmates Javier Krahe and Alberto Pérez. The trio enjoyed much popularity due to their participation in a TV program. La Mandrágora created much controversy due to the racy content of the lyrics. Sabina released his third soloist album called Ruleta Rusa (Russian Roulette) in 1983 and two years later, Juez y parte (Judge and Side). His political views led him to take part in the anti-NATO movement. He later released Joaquín Sabina y Viceversa en directo, his first live album, recorded in the Salamanca theatre in Madrid. In this album, the singer collaborates with other singers such as Javier Krahe, Javier Gurruchaga, and Luis Eduardo Aute. In 1987 he released Hotel, dulce hotel (Hotel, Sweet Hotel), which sold a large number of records in Spain. That success followed with his next album El hombre del traje gris (The Man in The Gray Suit), and followed with a successful tour of South America. This was followed by the released Mentiras piadosas (White Lies) in 1990, and two years later Física y química (Chemistry and Physics), which led to another successful tour of the Americas. His later albums Esta boca es mía (This Mouth is Mine), Yo, mi, me contigo (I, my, myself... with you) and 19 días y 500 noches (19 Days and 500 Nights), won him more recognition and multiple platinum albums, being the last probably his best work at date. After recovering from a stroke, he returned to the stage in 2002 with Dímelo en la calle (Dare to Say That Outside). He later released a double album called Diario de un peatón (A Pedestrian's Diary), which included both his previous album and 12 new songs, along with a book illustrated by him. In 2005 Sabina's released a new record Alivio de luto (Mourning Relief). The album release was accompanied by a DVD that includes interviews, music videos, acoustic versions of the songs, and home-made recordings. In 2007, he made a tour with Joan Manuel Serrat, called Dos Pájaros de un Tiro (Two birds with one stone) and they recorded a CD of this tour, which includes the DVD of the concert and a documentary. The album featured here includes out-takes, demos, collaborations, and unreleased material of any kind, hope you enjoy it.

· Joan Manuel Serrat - "Catalan compilation 1965/2006"

Joan Manuel Serrat is a Spanish Catalan singer-songwriter. He is considered one of the most important figures of modern, popular music in both the Spanish and Catalan languages. Serrat became involved with music at the age of 17, when he got his first guitar, to which he dedicates one of his earliest songs: "Una guitarra." In the early 60's, the young artist participated in a pop band, playing along with classmates at Barcelona's Agronomy School and performing mainly Beatles songs and Italian 'pop-of-the-era' songs translated to Spanish. In 1965, while singing in a radio show called Radioscope, host Salvador Escamilla helped him secure a record deal with local label EDIGSA, where he recorded his first LP, as well as joining as the member number thirteen the group of Catalan songwriters called “Els Setze Jutges” (The Sixteen Judges). Joan Manuel Serrat's first live stage performance in 1967 at the Palau de la Música Catalana, served to establish him as one of the most important artists inside the Nova cançó movement in Catalonia. The following year, Spain entered Serrat in the Eurovision Song Contest 1968 to sing "La, La, La" (She Gives Me Love), but he asked to sing it in Catalan, to which the Spanish authorities would not agree. This would be the first time he would come into conflict with the language politics of Francoist Spain, because of his decision to sing in his native Catalan language, repressed by dictator Francisco Franco. Defiantly, Serrat refused to sing the Spanish-language version, and was hurriedly substituted by Massiel, who went on to win the contest with her Spanish-language interpretation. As a result, Serrat's songs were banned and his records burned in the streets. He then traveled to South America and participated in the Rio de Janeiro's World Music Festival, where he took first place with the song "Penélope." In 1969, Serrat released an album containing songs with texts of Antonio Machado, a well known Spanish republican poet of late 19th-early 20th century. This album brought him immediate fame in all Spain and Latin America though, in spite of this, his decision to sing as well in Spanish was still criticized in some nationalistic Catalan circles. Regarding this and other times when his choice of language (sometimes Spanish, sometimes Catalan) raised controversy on either side of the political sphere, he once explained: "Look, I sing better in the language they forbid me." The release of the Mediterráneo LP in 1971 consolidated the artist's reputation worldwide. In late 1974, Serrat was exiled in Mexico due to his condemnation of arbitrary executions under Franco's regime. It wasn't until Franco's death November 20, 1975 that Serrat was able to return to his homeland. In 1976, Joan Manuel Serrat was acclaimed for the first time in the U.S.A., while performing in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York. In January 1995, the Spanish government awarded him a medal for his contribution to Hispanic culture. On November 28, 1998, Serrat performed the Cant del Barça during the FC Barcelona Centenary festival at the Camp Nou. In 2000, the Spanish Association of Authors and Editors (SGAE) awarded him with one of ten Medals of the Century. Serrat revealed in October 2004 that he had been undergoing treatment for cancer of the urinary bladder and in November that year he had to cancel a tour of Latin America and the U.S. in order to undergo surgery in Barcelona, where he still lives. His recovery was satisfactory, and in 2005 he went on tour again ("Serrat 100 X 100") around Spain and Latin America with his lifelong producer and arranger, Ricard Miralles. Serrat also recorded an album featuring symphonic versions of his songs, which was performed in several different countries and always using local symphony orchestras. In 2006 Serrat released Mô, his first album completely in Catalan in 17 years. The album title refers to the city of Mahón, capital of the Spanish island of Menorca, where he likes to get away from it all during long touring seasons.

· "Les Plus Belles Chansons" - Georges Brassens

"J'ai quitté la vi' sans rancune,
j'aurai plus jamais mal aux dents,
Me v'là dans la fosse commune,
la fosse commune du temps."

"I've left this life with no rancour,
I'll never have toothache again,
Now I lie in the communal grave,
the communal grave of time."

That's a quote from Brassens' song 'Le testament' ('Last will and testament'). Georges Brassens (22 October 1921, Sète, France - 29 October 1981, Saint-Gély-du-Fesc, France) is as well-known in France today as The Beatles are in England. People whistle his melodies on the streets, pass them on through generations. His bittersweet lyrics won him the French national poetry prize. He popularised French poetry in music. People respect him as “le bon maître” (the good master) and regard him with affection as “tonton Georges” (uncle George) and “notre nounours nacional” (our national teddy bear). Brassens composed about 250 songs, but only 200 were recorded. The other 50 were unfinished. Georges Brassens quote: "I would like everyone to understand that they can be creators, that they are creators. The context isn't important, it's to help a world to exist, to be born."

· "Valle de Lágrimas" - Javier Krahe

Javier Krahe (Madrid, March 30, 1944) Spanish singer-songwriter with great satirical lyrics. Born in the high class district of Salamanca, in Madrid, he studied in the Colegio del Pilar, where also attended many of the current Spanish politicians. He also started studies of Business Management, but after a while he abandoned to devote himself to the movies as a director’s assistant. While he was doing the military service, he met a Canadian girl called Annick, the love of his life, so he quickly left Spain for living in Canada. In spite of this, 2 years later (in 1967) he decided that Paris was THE place to live and there he went. By those days he also started his career as an acid lyricist inspired by artists such as Georges Brassens and Leonard Cohen. His brother Jorge was who composed the music for his songs. Years later, and back in Spain, Chicho Sánchez Ferlosio contracted him for several gigs in places such as La Aurora, where he would meet Joaquín Sabina and Alberto Pérez. The three guys together, now as a trio, recorded an album called “La Mandràgora” (1981), which was also the name of the place where that album was recorded during a live performance. Anyway, before that and as a solo singer, he made his debut album called “Valle de Lágrimas” (Valley of Tears- 1980), where he shows his typical style (ironic letters, ingenious heaps, accompanied with simple music). Let’s comment that back in those days, Krahe used to name the chord F as "the difficult one", so go figure... During his following records the arrangements tend to sound more and more jazzy, turning Krahe in an usual performer at the El Café Central, in Madrid. This was the start of becoming a singer-songwriter of cult for intellectual Spanish audiences. In 1986, the Spanish official television channel (TVE) censured his song “Cuervo Ingenuo” (Naïve Crow) which was a satiric look at the ideological ambiguity showed by the Spanish socialist party. In 2004, during an interview in the Channel + TV program “Lo + Plus”, it was showed a short film called "10 Comentarios” (10 Comments) which has been made approximately thirty years ago (circa 1974) by Javier Krahe and Enrique Seseña. The film consists on a chef teaching how to cook a figure of Jesus Christ. That started a campaign of protests from part of the conservative Spanish press, and as a result Krahe was declared ‘persona non-grata’ by Jesús de Polanco, who was the president of the group PRISA (owners of Channel +). In 1999 he was co-founder of an independent record company called “18 Chulos” (18 Rascals), along with other artists as Pepín Tre, Santiago Segura, El Gran Wyoming, Faemino and Pablo Carbonell. Javier Krahe has released several albums for that label: “Dolor de garganta” (Sore Throat), “Cábalas y Cicatrices” (Cabbalas and Scars), “Cinturón Negro de Karaoke” (Black Belt of Karaoke), “Querencias y Extravíos” (Love and Losses); etc. During the years 2005, 2006 and 2007 he has been performing periodically in such small clubs as Galileo or Clamores, often in company of other such singer-songwriters like Riki López. His last album “Love and Losses”, released back in December 2007, was distributed as a pack including an interesting book featuring reflections and conversations of Krahe with the journalist Paloma Leyra. His writing shows a big care for the heap and the metrics, with an obvious influence of the world of classic literature and classical movies. Here's his first album…
