The Animated feature film of Chico & Rita won awards Feb 2011 , Jun 2011 and December 2011 also nominated for an Annie award Feb 2012 and Academy award Feb 2012 A great movie with an even better sound track . Review: Exciting for those who like Cuba/Afro-Cuban music - Purchasing the CD after seeing the film probably colored my view; but, for those who like Cuban and Afro-Cuban music, these recordings are thoroughly enjoyable. The artists who perform are splendid in every way. The individual pieces are a bit short but there are many tracks (30) and this adds up to a fairly long CD.

Beautiful music!
Very rarely buy CDs anymore but was struck after seeing the Chico & Rita movie/cartoon. Thought the movie was great, the music superb. Being somewhat obscure, it took a little time to track down a vendor. As with so many items, Amazon to the rescue. This music works so well in many environments - this is pure latin soul.

Solid Cuban music
I have only listened to this a couple of times, maybe three. I like it, but I think I should have bought the DVD first. Great arrangements, however, very solid renditions. I just wish there were longer versions of the selections.

Chico & Rita's melodies....
Score! Love the music! I don't any thing else like it, it's a first! I have the recent Sabor Ah mi remix by Luis Miguel but that's about it. Lovely melodies, relaxing sounds! Shipped from Argentina so it took a little long but was worth the wait.

Awesome Latin Jazz CD
Authentic Latin Jazz w/all the Grammy & well known musicians/singers of the past half century. The film was pretty sweet as well; it deserved the 2010 Foreign Language full length animated feature Oscar even 'tho the award went to another production.

Wonderful animated adult film
I stumbled across this animated adult movie on Netflix and was captivated by the detailed scenes and the wonderful soundtrack. I had to buy the CD after seeing this movie. Highly recommended!

充実の1枚!
アカデミー長編アニメ部門にもノミネートされた スペイン・キューバ&イギリス合作映画『チコとリタ』のサントラ。 チコの演奏はあのベボ・バルデス! とにかく充実の1枚です。 ラテン・ジャズ、キューバ音楽の心地よさに酔いしれます。 サントラとしてだけではなく、1枚のアルバムとしての完成度がとても高いです。 映画の余韻として楽しんでもイイですし、映画とは関係なく、 コーヒーを飲みながらゆっくりと聴き流してもイイと思います。 日本では2011年に「ラテンビート映画祭」で上映されましたが アカデミー賞ノミネートを契機に、国内でも劇場公開・DVDリリースされるよう 願っています!!

Chico & Rita
Schwungvolle Jazz-Musik, die einem am Leben hält! Ich habe den Film gesehen, der hauptsächlich durch die Musik and die Animation besticht. Einige Musikstücke gehen mir nicht mehr aus dem Kopf und machen einfach gute Laune.

Voyage musical
Douceur, chaleur. Les oreilles se languissent. On est transporté à la Havane, à l'abris du soleil brûlant, rafraîchis par une légère brise. Un vrai voyage
