20 Exitos Romanticos by Los Angeles de Charly (CD - 08/10/2004)
"20 Exitos Romanticos" (08/10/2004) International Los Angeles de Charly, FonovisaNever let it be said that singer Charly Becies lacks a sense of humor. In Spanish, the name of his group los Angeles de Charly means "Charley's Angels" -- an obvious reference to the campy late-'70s television program Charlie's Angels. Plus, the group is based in Los Angeles. But while Becies' band has a humorous name, their music is another matter; los Angeles de Charly are known for consistently romantic lyrics, and they don't do it with the least bit of irony. This best-of collection offers a 20-song taste of the sort of love-obsessed grupero that made the outfit quite popular in the regional Mexican market in the late '90s and early 2000s. No one will mistake 20 Exitos Romanticos for los Tigres del Norte's tough, gritty, hard-hitting tales of Mexican life along the U.S./Mexico border; Becies and his colleagues offer a very sleek, urbane, and polished vision of regional Mexican music -- and while the more hardcore norte?o/Tex-Mex bands favor a very gutsy way of playing cumbia mexicana (the Mexican interpretation of the Colombian cumbia rhythm), los Angeles de Charly prefer their cumbia mexicana on the lighter, softer side. "Un Sue?o," "Amor Secreto," and other hits on this CD are essentially Latin pop or Latin adult contemporary with regional Mexican overtones -- and stylistically, los Angeles de Charly have a lot more in common with Julio Iglesias, Juan Gabriel, and Jos? Jos? than they do with los Tigres del Norte or los Rieleros del Norte. 20 Exitos Romanticos underscores the group's predictable nature; this material isn't meant to be terribly challenging. Nonetheless, los Angeles de Charly are enjoyably good at what they do, and this best-of collection is the logical place to go if a casual listener is exploring their pleasantly formulaic work for the first time.

Cuando Te Enamoras [CD & DVD] [10/18] *
"Cuando Te Enamoras" (10/18/2005) International Los Angeles de Charly, FonovisaLos Angeles de Charly: William Watson (accordion, keyboards); Emilio "Cubano" Sanchez (trumpet); El Conde, Tony Suarez (trombone); Jose Manuel Otero Giusseppe (bajon); Paquito Munoz (percussion); Jonathan Mart¡nez (background vocals). Additional personnel: Gabriel Figueroa (guitars); Jose Manuel (vihuela); Emilio Mendoza (bajon). If a Latin style or rhythm starts out being played in a raw or rugged fashion, there is a very good possibility that someone, somewhere will polish it up and use it for Latin pop purposes. Precisely that has happened with salsa, merengue, and bachata; there is certainly a world of difference between tribal Afro-Cuban chanting and slick salsa romantica. And while cumbia and norte?o/Tex-Mex -- two of the rhythmic tools in Los Angeles de Charly's pop arsenal -- started out as earthy, rough-and-tumble working-class music, they have both been presented as Latin pop by numerous grupero and Tejano artists. Los Angeles de Charly does this type of thing enjoyably well, and those who have appreciated their previous albums should have no problem getting into Cuando Te Enamoras (When You Fall in Love). The basic recipe that has worked well for Charly Becies' group in the past -- romantic Latin pop combined with Mexican-style cumbia (as opposed to South American cumbia) and/or norte?o -- continues to serve Becies and his colleagues well on smooth, gently rhythmic tracks like "Como Te Recuerdo" (How I Remember You), "Fantasma" (Ghost), and "Llorar?" (I Will Cry). Like other Los Angeles de Charly discs, Cuando Te Enamoras isn't terribly challenging -- at least not in the way that the recordings of Los Tucanes de Tijuana and the late Chalino Sanchez are challenging -- but then, that isn't what Becies is going for. Los Angeles de Charly's albums are meant to be romantically comforting, which is an accurate way to describe this likable (if at times formulaic) addition to their catalog. ~ Alex Henderson

Carta De Amor by Los Angeles de Charly (Cassette - 02/24/2004)
"Carta De Amor" (02/24/2004) International Los Angeles de Charly, FonovisaLos Angeles De Charly: Calros Becies, Guillermo Palafox, Jonathan Martinez (vocals); William Watson (accordion); Mario Suarez (trumpet); Julio Suarez, Enrique Gonzalez, Victor Suarez (trombone); Jose Luis Martinez (piano); Jose Manuel Ortiz (bass); Ruben Amador (congas); Fernando Becies (guiro). Producers: Ignacio Rodriguez, Federico Ehrilich. Recorded at 10a Studios, D.F., Mexico. Personnel: Jonathan Mart¡nez (vocals); William Watson (accordion); Mario Suarez (trumpet); Jos? Luis Mart¡nez (piano); Ruben Amador (congas); Francisco Bruguera Mu?oz (timbales). Audio Mixers: Ruben Amador; Jos? Luis Mart¡nez; Francisco Bruguera Mu?oz; Mario Suarez; William Watson ; Jonathan Mart¡nez. Recording information: 10a Studios, Mexico D.F. Photographer: Carlos Latapi. Arranger: William Watson . Cumbia has always been a part of the picture for singer Charly Becies and his group los Angeles de Charly ("Charly's Angels" in English), but it's especially prominent on Carta de Amor. This 2004 release isn't cumbia in the strict Colombian sense; no one who is seriously knowledgeable about Latin music would mistake Carta de Amor for a collection of recordings by Lucho Berm£dez, Leonor Gonz lez Mina, or Alberto Pacheco (who were among the heavyweights in classic Columbian cumbia). Rather, Carta de Amor (or, in English, "Love Letter") favors a sleek, polished, and highly sentimental blend of Latin pop and cumbia mexicana, which is a Mexican interpretation of the cumbia rhythm that originated in Columbia. Carta de Amor is definitely a pop album, and it's a pop album that not only owes something to cumbia mexicana, but also, to '50s doo wop; those with attentive, observant ears will notice the doo wop element in some of Becies' material. In Mexican pop, that doo wop influence isn't uncommon -- even in the 21st century -- and the fact that doo wop, like classic soul, continues to influence Mexican artists after all these years can be attributed to the fact that "recuerdos" (memories) are so important in the family-oriented Mexican culture. Becies has never been among the more challenging or daring artists in regional Mexican music; his romantic brand of Mexican pop is meant to comfort, not challenge. But the singer is certainly good at what he does, and those who have enjoyed his previous work will find Carta de Amor to be a pleasant, if predictable, addition to his Fonovisa catalog. ~ Alex Henderson
