Great music

I've known Vaya Con Dios for 10 years and they've always made great music. The first song I've heard was Nah Neh Nah and it was a major hit in my country. I decided then to buy a CD - it was Night Owls, their second one. This CD contains their best singles and though I miss some tunes here, the CD is perfect.

It starts off with sinles from their first album, then continues with Night Owls, in the end there's Time Flies and some new songs composed for this album. Singer Dani Klein has a beautiful and I must say erotic voice that brings warmth to your soul. You can listen to this compilation whenever you want to, it always suits your mood. Though the perfect time to listen to it is driving on a sea coast on a hot summer day. That's what we did last summer on the Croatian coast and it is an experience I'll never forget - the music, the rocks, the sea,...

I suggest everyone who hasn't ever heard of Vaya Con Dios that they listen to this CD and then buy all the others. This is quality music that stands the test of time. And you'll never ever get bored of it. -- Marcell Orosz (Budapest, Hungary)

At least half of the tracks on this album were major hits in this part of the world. These are all catchy tunes, with good production, and excellent mature female vocals. The music is probably described as pop, but it does have a Spanish edge on many songs, and perhaps adult conteporary may be a better description. Don't try to extract deep meaning from the lyrics though - they are simple, but not necessarily corny. "What's a Woman?" is the track that makes the album for me - a sad tune with exceptionally good lyrics about the support that a man and a woman need from each other. Although this album may well appeal to the younger audience too, I would rather recommend it to the more mature listener. This is a great CD, go and get it. -- P. J. Golda "Digilante" (Cape Town, South Africa)
