The melody that gives the title to this cd, "On Broadway" is a masterpiece of arrangement: every instrument is on the very right key and it truly makes you live that very special feeling that you only get every once in a while with very special music. Listen to it, you will buy it instantly.

There are two recordings in this record that deserve five stars:
"Viva Tirado" and "Cayuco". The rest is rather poor, specially "La Cucaracha". However, the price is very attractive and that is why I concede it four stars.

The already classical interpretation of Higuer and higuer by the elecdtric Jackie Wilson worths the price of this record!

Bajo la dirección impecable de Alberto Isaac, "Tivoli" nos relata la historia de los días postreros del teatro Tivoli de la ciudad de México, que fue la Meca del espectáculo de revista de los años 50 de la entonces provinciana capital mexicana.
Todos los personajes están bien caracterizados, las anecdotas bien seleccionadas, los diálogos cuidados y aparecen varias gratas sorpresas, como Pérez Prado y el enano Margarito.
Quien adquiera "Tivoli" gozará de un par de horas de agradable diversión y hará una excelente compra.

Uno de los mejores grupos de rock mexicano de las décadas de los 60 y de los 70, los Apson (originalmente se llamaron "Los Apson Boys") no únicamente se limitaron a grabar "covers" de éxitos en lengua inglesa, sino que hicieron sus propias aportaciones con composiciones propias y originales. Realmente eran dueños de un ritmo difícil de igualar y su alegría es contagiosa en cada grabación.
Para información de los lectores (y escuchas), el nombre del grupo, Apson hace honor al lugar de origen de sus integrantes: Agua Prieta, Sonora.

After "Last exit to Brooklyn", as far as I know this is the second Hubert Selby's book brought into the screen. Both are just "dangerous stuff" meaning that they are not for sensitive people. If you want to dive into the very dark and deep waters of what is going on (maybe) in the flat or the house next to yours, or even your own home, go ahead: buy it but be very careful because it may ring something that you never realize before.
This is just an extraordinary movie but not at all for depressive or too sensitive persons. Watch out!!! Not reccomended for a rainy afternoon.

I think I have read all the books writen by Kapuscinski and this particular one is weak. It seems that the author just took some of the notes that he wrote during his visits to Africa and constructed an unsuccesfully collage; to my big surprise and regret, Kapuscinski just superficially refers to the greatest dissease of many African and Third World countries: corruption. Nevertheless, this book is a just a good initiation for those interested in the forgotten continent politics.

Many years ago during a heavy rain afternoon in Madrid, the best thing to do was to enter to a cinema. The one nearby presented "Che!" and it was hilarious to see Jack Palance playing the role of Fidel Castro, as well as the actor (don't even remember his name) who played as Ernesto "Che" Guevara. The movie is simply and totally grotesque and it constitutes an insult to the only authentic revolution ocurred in Latin America during the last century (the Mexican included). On the sunny side of the street, is the music: Schifrin shows he is a master of composition. He truly feels what he was doing and capts both the Andean and Cuban sounds with respect and dignity. Don't miss this record.

I saw this film long ago on television in my country, under the title of "El rata" (The rat) and, again, a couple of years ago in Paris under the absurd title of "Le port de la drogue" (The port of drugs). Now I have the video and see it every now and then. It is a very well elaborated movie typical of the pre-cold war times in the USA: the anti-communist paranoia, etcetera, along with a love story and, indeed, detectives, though guys and other fantasticaly well combined elements. The work of the Director is great, as well as the perfomances by Widmark and Jean Peters, extremely beautiful. Also, Thelma Ritter was awarded with an Oscar for the second feminine role. This is a must-see by all means and apart from the merits mentioned above, I recomend the superb music and, very particularly, the dialogue between Candy and Lightning Louie at the Chinese restaurant, unforgetable. Buyers will enjoy it very much.

After "The Wild One", this might be one of the masterpieces of motorcycle-gangs films. A well elaborated production and, above all, a remarkable work of the Director. A must see by all means.
