Miguel Bose's musical maturity began with Bandido and has grown...he never fails to surprise me...his rendition of Salome on ONCE MANEREAS PARA PONERTE UN SOMBRERO is sheer genius! He deconstructs the music, like Picasso deconstructed the images in his paintings: all the elements are there--and recognizeable--however, they give us a fresh and exciting new perspective...a sophisticated Iberian way of looking at the world...His new album offers us a new approach to his most successful compositions. Vale! Miguel Bose is an outstanding example of what Latinos the world over can do: be contempory, sophisticated, articulate and SUCCESSFUL! Bose accomplishes all this without abandonding himself to cross-over pressures to ANGLOcize! He is an example that we Latinos can be international, MULTI-lingual and the very best at whatever we choose to do. Our Latino artists were awesome long before Anglo-America deigned to give Ricky Martin fame (when he was already famous to begin with...)and Bose is one of the MOST AWESOME of the awesome! Que va! MIGUEL BOSE...O R A L E!

Este CD es lo mejor de lo que a dado Bose a la musica latina contemporanea... y eso que le faltaron mas canciones;; pero las eligidas son exelentes y las nuevas versiones quedaron super bien; aunque las versiones originales siempre seran mejores...y siempre estaran ahi... Bose no necesita cantar en ingles para dar su musica a conocer internacionalmente hablando.. tiene la calidad y la voz para romper todas las fronteras.. sin necesidad de cantar en un idioma que no es el suyo....

Meeting Bose, is lake haveing an encounter with the magic that comes from within. It is always an exiliriating experience to lisen to his lirics, his music is just tabu. Si te cuentan que cai, Duende, Sevilla, Hojas secas.. they are fixtures in the minds of all dreamers of all those that are in search of magic. Miguel thank you for the extraordinary gift of your talent and your eternal serch for magic. The more you lisen to his music the more you understand...

Miguel Bose has been around the block. He's put out some great music and this compilation album does a great job at summarizing the best of his works. Besides his classics, he included in here two '99 versions of his well known works "Amante Bandido" and "Nena", with new arrangements that turned them on their heads into full fledge dance songs. There is no weak spot on this album. It's a well rounded compilation from end to end, highlighting the work of one of Spain's greatest pop artists ever.

Si bien estás las canciones que contiene este CD son las más solicitadas, creo que hay algunas otras que debieron formar parte de este albúm, para que pudiese ser considerado como "Lo mejor de Bosé". Me hizo falta escuchar temas como "Te amaré", "Ne me quitte pas" "Salamandra", "Manos vacías" y "Si te cuentan que caí". Sin embargo, las nuevas versiones de "Amante Bandido" y "Nena" al igual que el resto del álbum.

Even though the songs that are part of this CD are the most requested ones, I think some other should have been part of this production, in order to be considered as "Lo mejor de Bosé" ("The best by Bosé"). I missed hearing songs such as "Te amaré", "Salamandra", "Ne me quitte pas", "Manos Vacías" and "Si te cuantan que caí". The new versions of "Amante Bandido" and "Nena" are great, just like the rest of the CD, though.
