Amazon.com The free-format radio show, "Morning Becomes Eclectic," broadcasting from the Los Angeles-based station KCRW, is arguably the nation's most iconoclastic and influential program. This compilation of live, in-studio performances by some of today's Latin musicians, topped the iPod charts, and for good reason. In spirit with the show, this collection's diversity of North and South American, and Caribbean artists offers an impressive sonic census of the Hispanic, African, pop, and Brazilian influences that characterize that genre. Latin music really sizzles in this live context, whether it's the soothing sonorities of Omara Portuondo's bolero "No Me Vayas a Enganar," the Chicano rock of Los Lobos's "Carabina 30-30," or Ozomatli's Spanglish rap on "Saturday Night." If anything, this collection shows how rooted this music is in its acoustic, unplugged traditions, and how revolutionary it can be in its electronic expansions to other musical forms. --Eugene Holley, Jr. Product Description A definitive collection of live, Latin-themed performances from America's influential public radio show, "Morning Becomes Eclectic".
