Having produced an album on African rumba tunes, the group have turned to Cuba for inspiration. But instead of using the original lyrics, they have added their own. The rhythm and lead guitars and the variety of arrangements effectively maintain interest. A brilliant addition to their repertoire.
This album is built around the work of legendary composers Andersson and Ulvaeus, whose songs defined much of the 20th century. Yet their friends might be surprised by these arrangements. Old favourites with catchy tunes from the 1970s and 1980s are effortlessly transformed into the bands own distinctive style with some very pleasing harmonies. Buy this one for your collection.
This is much better than their cover album and nothing here is a cover version. Some of the tracks feature heavy metal guitar solos and the drums are alive with rhythm. A marvellous album that gets better with every listening.
This is an album of Argentinian chamber songs written in the early 1900s and exquisitely accompanied by violins. There is everything here from a beautiful duet to a passionate tango. It is all superbly recorded and packaged with imagination and care that do the designers credit. Fantastic.

Music and its effect on children
For all children, music provides an obvious opportunity for both self-expression and creativity. But researchers have now also shown that a strong musical education provides so more. For example, music develops self-discipline: the child who devotes time to practising day is known to develop similar habits in relation to other subjects as well. Organisational skills increase and the child learns is needed to be good at something. In addition, band or choir members learn the importance of being a reliable member of a group and becoming a true team player and necessarily always the star.
Scientists have also discovered that learning to read music or play a musical instrument develops higher thinking skills. Any child is skilled at music also excel in problem-solving. The part of the brain used to read music is the same the area used in mathematical thinking. This explains so many capable musicians are good at math.
