5 out of 5 stars Romance Latino V.3.......2006-03-20

This CD is worth every penny. If you are looking for romantic music with a latino breeze for a dinner for 2, this is the right cd for you.

I love her voice. I love you Lisa Ono!!!

5 out of 5 stars Get ready to be CHARMED! .......2006-02-11

Nothing can be more apt to describe Lisa Ono's voice than that of a cool sea breeze; soothing, gentle and alluring.

Unlike other conventional bossanova singers who frequently inject lots of heavy exuberance into their singing (for example, Omara Portuondo), Lisa avoids that and chooses to go for a more subtle, jazzy singing style; a style that makes her albums so alluring and charming. Listeners sense that light, feminine, honey-like voice and succumb to her spell. It's a voice that reeks of tenderness and beauty.

Add tenderness and beauty to bossanova tunes and what you have is an excellent musical gem. Romance Latino Vol 3 is her best among the Romance Latino collection. It is also one of the very few albums where I really enjoyed every single track.

The vibrant opening track itself sets the mood for the rest of the album; Cachito (Little boy) has a joyous beat and effectively harnesses the motherly, tender voice of Lisa to good effect as the lyrics reflect a mother's love for her little boy.

Lisa's rendition of Besame Mucho remains the best and most memorable version I have heard as well. Other stand out tracks include the festive-like El Bodeguero, Cachita and Cancion Para Santiago de Cuba.

The album's audio standard is excellent; bass is subtle and sufficient enough to lend some nice touches of 'oomph' to the tunes, thus making sure that Lisa's voice is never overshadowed by other elements.

In short, this is the BEST bossanova album I ever had! I can only hope Lisa would release a concert DVD soon. I had the wonderful opportunity to attend her concert last year when she stopped over in Singapore for her Asia tour.

3 out of 5 stars Sizzling disc One, Fizzling disc Two.......2004-07-03

Nova Latino is a series dedicated to the nu-brazil and nu-latin tunes. But they emphasis Brazil... big time. The series is mixed by Stephane De Lucia and spans 4 volumes, each with two discs. But this is one of the more commercial releases, therefor you won't have any exclusive cuts.

CD 1 is definitely the stronger of the two, although it had a questionable start. When I see De-Phazz, I think more of martini madness and Euro lounge. And "So Com Voce" has been grossly overplayed and used in comps of all sorts. But it picks up right after with a cool bossa cut by Bobby Brazil that'll transport you to early 80's Brazil, followed up with the underrated DJ Cam and his hit off of Trip Do Brasil called "Birds Also Sing for Anamaria" - sort of a pun from the classic Marcos Valle cut. Right afterwards you get a smooth Samba by Luigi Ladu & Margarita Gonzalez. If you're a fan of the Bossa Nostra & Bruna Lopez cut "Apocalypse", you'll love this song. My favorite tune of CD1 is the soulful Incognito track... amazing. CD2 has some gems too - most notably Marc De Clive-Lowe's "Day By Day" and songs by Eli Goulart, Mo Horizon's and La Taverne Du Lac's track. But it's not as strong as the first and most of the songs can be found on strong compilations.

Still, you've got two sun drenched discs with cool tunes, featuring a fantastic disc 1. As always, BE CAREFUL of overlap, especially if you're into the Rio Lounge series. Further, if you want to hear what's really new, and what Nova Latino and the others will be doing this summer, check out Brazilectro 6 which has a funkier vibe than the other Brazilectros, Brazilution which is still class and finally a cd titled Brazilation (its not related to the Lectro/Lution series). But if you haven't heard any of those three series, this'll give you a nice intro to what the scene's about.

4 out of 5 stars Solid Intro to the Series.......2005-04-06

Nova-Latino is one of a long line of nueva Bossa Nova cd's that has it's roots in... Germany. Much like Rio Lounge, maybe the Caipirinha series, Glucklich and of course Brazilectro and Brazilution, Nova-Latino is a series that's well known for deliver 2 discs of electronic bossa and nu-jazz bliss. Nova Latino's label is also known for a few other interesting compilations like "Ambient Lounge" and "Mystic Dreams". But be warned - the display here is incorrect as this is a double disc set.

This is the first one and it was a commendable compilation. It came out in (I believe) 2001 so it was around the time of Glucklich 4 (2000), Brazilectro II, Boss-A-Troniq II and maybe Break & Bossa 4. Despite the stiff competition it still had some solid tuens on it in additoin to the obvious carry-over. It starts out with Signor Rossi vs De-Phazz - De-Phazz being a Nova Latino favorite. The cut is a nice remix which sets the mood up great. Other highlights of the festively mixed first cd include Da lata's "Pra Manha" reworked, Shantel's Backwood, and even Hacienda's "Sabor" given a much needed remix. I mean, there was some great star power on this cd since you also had the 'safe' picks by Stratospheric and Nicola Conte with "Neon Carlita" and "Bossa Per Due", respectively. Meanwhlie CD2 doen't loose much steam, starting with a remix to Bebel's "Bananeira" (although I'll always love Joyce's version). That track's followed up with Thievery Corporation's "Samba Tranquille" and then Aromabar's "Little Brother", given a Mo Horizon's facelift. The song is a little strange to me, but what's most interesting is the clear S-Tone Inc. influence in the looped guitar rift - straight from the bridge in "Ainda Sonhar", a sweet track. You've also got some nice tracks on here by St. Germain, Marcel, Wei Chi and Ian Pooley. Again, safe tracks, but good tunes none the less.

At the end of the day, I'd certainly recommend this to anyone that wants a bit of a quality introduction to the nu-bossa genre. It is far from being original, and that's the knock I have to give it... more like 3.5 stars. Intuit (aka Supersempft)'s "O Preguicoso" and Nicola Conte's "Bossa Per Due" were woefully overplayed and Alex Gopher's "The Child" remix was a bit of a head scratcher to me, even though it was a nice club cut. But strong tunes like "Tu Estas Fatal" (hear the one on Caipirisima) made up for it. If you like this, definitely check out the rest of this series as Nova Latino actually started to go for more exclusive cuts in later volumes. Volume 3 is available on Amazon... it's just mispelled: "Novo Latino". BEFORE YOU BUY, be aware that there is a box set of volumes 1-4 available in Europe right now that is well worth the investment b'cause $27 is very steep for 2 discs when you can prob. get the box (8 discs) for like $37 including the exchange rate and shipping. ALSO - note that there is a volume 5 available. It probably will hit USA shores as an import in late spring/summer.

    4 out of 5 stars Lisa Ono, Romance Latino, vol 1.......2007-02-28

    Deliciosa combinación de canciones románticas latinas con bossa nova. Linda y alegre voz de Lisa Ono; sonidos brasileros dirigidos por el guitarrista y arreglista Oscar Castro Neves. Buen disco para cualquier discoteca de amantes de la música latina

    1 out of 5 stars Very dissappointing....................2006-10-12

    I was extremely dissappointed to hear this CD from the great Lisa Ono. The CD cover promises tunes done in the style of bossa nova, but there is NO bossa nova on this CD. It's hard to understand how she recorded great bossa nova for many years, and seems to have forgotten the rhythm of bossa nova. But some of her earlier recordings are truly great bossa classics.

          4 out of 5 stars Good Mixed Set.......2006-11-30

          This is the third edition of the Nova Latino series, which as of today, spans to 7 volumes. There is another listing titled 'Novo Latino vol. 3' which is listed on Amazon incorrectly, and has incorrect track listings yet has the same cover as this, so do note the differences and that one is an accident listing. The Nova Latino franchise is usually a mixed affair where the songs are faded in and out of one another, so selection and order are critical. All of the Nova Latino albums are double disc sets. Volume III is a great way to remember summer of 2003 and the other compilations that were out at that time like Cafe Samba, Rio After Dark, Rio Lounge II, Brazilectro 5 and Brazilation among others. In fact, as I always say, you listen to Nova Latino if you didn't have a chance to check out the Brazilectro/Brazilutions because Nova Latino always copies tracks from other compilation's playlists - sometimes without even editing them!

          The good thing about this set is that you have some groovin summer-time tracks. From the opening track (which is Zimpala's "Adios") to the last cut on CD 1, you have a latin vibe which goes from slow and romantic to easy-going to nice club feels and bossa touches. You have some terrific artists here with some great songs - Timax's "Flight Over Rio", Janice Andrade's "Caipirinha", De-Phazz's "Mambo Craze", Buscemi's "Ramiro's Theme" and some cuts by Smoke City, Hacienda, Mo Horizons, Bobby Hughes, Can 7, Maxwell Implosion and many more. Perhaps my favorite of the 2 cds is the first one because it seems to flow a bit better than the second. However CD 2 has a cut by Bobby Brazil that has a seductive beat to it that drops when you least expect it. But it's not the most original of sides as almost all of the cuts... perhaps all of the cuts are easily found on other compilations. But this particular Nova Latino was a cut above most of the others in the franchise to me because it was a little bit bolder.

          If you're a fan of the Nova Latino series, why not check this one out? But BE WARNED... there's a lot of carryover from the many other Nu-Brazil/Nu-Latin comps on the market which makes much of this very un-original. Nova Latino tends to take a page or two out of Brazilectro or whatever Wagram out of France is doing (Costes, Nueva Bossa Nova, Paris Lounge, etc.) so you have Janice, Ian Pooley, Can 7 and several others that you've heard if you collect the above comps and the Glucklich series. And if you're a fan of the Rio Lounge series, getting the Nova Latino series may be redundant albeit, the Nova Latino series, again, is mixed. However there are some cuts that are quality which aren't on any of those. If you do dig this and want more, check out Brazilectro VI along with Brazilution 5.2 that was out this past summer. And of course, check Nova Latino IV which was IMO, better than this one and the other new releases that are bound to come out from this series in the future.
