Me Enamore
1983 - MOTOWN

My Rating: 
COMMENTS:
This album was released immediately after the greatly
successful "Escenas de Amor",
which proved a best seller in Latin America and in the same year
as the splendid but poorly promoted "Romance in The Night".
"Me Enamore" represents the point in Jose's' career
where he turns his focus towards the Latin American market, a
move which was to be rewarded by an outstanding sales success
as well as many critics' awards, including a well-deserved Grammy
(after 15 years!) for best Latin Album of the year.
"Me Enamore" is arguably the best Spanish
album ever recorded by Jose' and one of the best records of his
entire career: great songs and outstanding performances, splendid
orchestral arrangements and, most of all, a good variety of different
musical genres (something often lacking in Jose's latin albums).
It is difficult to highlight any particular songs,
as the whole album is very good. My favorites are: "No Quiero
Perder Tu Amor Tambien", "Ay Cariño", "Los
Sonidos del Silencio" and "El Condor Pasa" (with
a fantastic guitar performance). These last two songs are by
Paul Simon.
This album is strongly recommended to all Jose' Feliciano
fans, including those who would normally be not attracted by
his latin output.
Fianlly this great Lp is released on CD in 2003, with
the 1982 album "Escenas de Amor" and with a great Dvd
with a live concert of these songs in Chile, in a unique package
called "Ayer Hoy Y Siempre"
