Casa Villegas - great CD.......2006-07-14

I bought this for my husband because he had heard a clip in a store and really liked it. We both love it. Good music all the way through - no disappointments. I recommend this CD and the price was cheaper here than in the store.

One rare and great CD.......2005-03-02

I just love it. It's my second Villegas after Cafe Ole and I like it better than the first one. Vocals are intriguing - they lack the professional training and quality and that is what makes them refreshing. I consider it money well spent.
I don't have musical training - I am a non-Latino male who is into Latin music.

Luis keeps getting Better and Better.......2003-12-05

After listening to Cafe Ole and Spanish Kiss, I was very happy to hear Casa Villegas. I wasn't disappointed. Bienvenidos starts this album with lots of power. It is a great biking song. Entre Amigos displays Luis "hummingbird" riffs in a nice style. Mujer Emamorada is a rare vocal that works well.
The next two songs really go together- Dos Guitaras and Recuerdos de Jerez- and are a masterfull emotional piece that can be listened to over and over again. This is perhaps the highlight of the album. . . .
Until you get to Jaleo, which has a live feeling and some of the best hand clapping and guitars licks.
The next song, Ojos Verdes, another vocal, is apparently written about his baby daughter. The subject matter alone,along with the vocal and percussion make for a very nice song.
What follows is one of the highlights of the album- Whitter Blvd. It is a quitar-piano combo that rocks. The piano really takes off, in syncopating almost off beat fashion that really works.

Brazil Magic is a refreshing tune, and is followed by a song From The Heart, that must have made Luis' fingers tired, as he is ripping across the fretboard in many parts.
The last two pieces go together and are the most adventurous songs on the album. Imagine yourself sitting in a bedouin tent listen to a virtuoso Spanish guitar. Pass the humas, pita, and olives! The violin/guitar combo is amazing.
If you like creative, emotional, high energy guitar, don't pass this one up. Luis can play with such feeling.
Other than Phil Keaggy, Luis is in a class by himself.
