Marc Anthony

Contra La Corriente

What an incredible introduction to latin music!!!

Review Score: StarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStar (10/10)
I am a 26 year old black male who was raised mostly on hip hop and r&b. Last year, my Puerto Rican fiance began to introduce me to pop/rock and I enthusiastically embraced it. Earlier this year I began listenining to country music a la Tim Mcgraw and Garth Brooks and was absolutely hooked. My fiance kept bugging me to try latin music, but since I know almost no spanish, I felt it would be pointless, as I wouldn't understand what they were saying. Then in June, my fiance began playing "NO Me ames" from Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony. I was slow to warm tothis song, but when I finally gave it a thorough listen,I was very impressed with the melody and smooth vocals. Jennifer's were good, but my god, the male vocals were incredible! So this is the man they call Marc Anthony, I thought. My fiance translated the general theme of the song tome in English and I thought, wow! After about 2 weeks of playing the song non-stop, my fiance borrowed Marc anthony's Contra la corriente cd from her mom. I listened to it once through, but I was a little distracted and couldn't truly feel it, if you know what I mean. Later that day, I got a few moments to myself and played it again. I was not prepared for the emotions that would rise within me as I listened to the first 3 minutes and 26 seconds of the first song, which I now know is entitled 'Y Hubo Alguien" My mouth dropped open and I kept moving closer to the speaker to hear this soulful, melodic voice. I had no idea what he was saying, but I didn't have to. The song literally put me into a trance and I kept playing it again and again and again and again and again. The power of marc Anthony's voice is mesmerizing in those first 3 1/2 minutes of that song. People, do you feel me? No, no, go back and listen to it and try to feel like I felt when I heard it --- like you're in a dream and this magnificient voice is floating to you and making you smile and feel warm but it's giving you goose bumps because you don't remember when you've heard sounds quite so lovely and you may think of someone you know or want to know singing it to you and all of a sudden you get teary because you want this person so bad and the voice is simultaneously bringing back every good and painful memory you've ever had in your life and you want more and Marc does that to that note again and oh my god, you cannot believe what you are hearing!!!!!!!!Needless to say, I am a huge Marc Anthony fan now and I am like a dopefiend, rushing to get my hands on any piece of music with his name attached to it. The one thing I'm missing is an English translation of these masterpieces, can anyone help me out? Marc, you have a new fan for life!
