The Best Latin Party Album In The World...Ever!
This 16-track compilation demonstrates a sense of humor--or an awareness of its own cheese factor--by sandwiching "Lambada" between theGipsy Kings' "Bamboleo" and the Bayside Boys remix ofLos Del Rio's "Macarena." The spirit of fun keeps this otherwise hopelessly diffuse set from falling apart while dancing between the flamenco guitars ofCarlinhos Brown's "A Namorada," a house remix of "Oye Como Va," andQuincy Jones'sAustin Powersfave "Soul Bossa Nova." Those willing to let go will have hit the dance floor long beforeBeckends the bash with "Burro," hissuavecitomariachi version of "Jack-Ass."--Rickey Wright
