Customer Reviews

One of the classiest Franco De Vita hits packages
Here is yet another Franco De Vita greatest hits collection, but this one is noteworthy for a few reasons. It features a full booklet with song lyrics, which are essential for a songwriter such as De Vita. His lyrics, particularly in such thoughtful, socially-conscious songs like "No Basta" and "Los Hijos de la Oscuridad," are among the most powerful and moving in Latin-pop today. This collection also marks the end of his relationship with Sony, as he signed with Universal Music last year, and a new disc is due later this year.

The 30 songs here are a good selection of De Vita's Sony hits, though the top 10 smash "Promesas" (from "Al Norte Del Sur") is strangely missing. And as this collection covers only the Sony years, none of De Vita's early hits are included in their original versions; therefore, "Un Buen Perdedor," "Solo Importas Tu" and "Aqui Estas Otra Vez" are live cuts taken from "En Vivo Marzo 16." So this still isn't a definitive De Vita package, but it's one of the best collections so far. And, of course, as any Latin-music fan knows, De Vita's music -- whether it's a rock, jazz, pop or salsa -- is among the most challenging, entertaining and enjoyable out there.

I was waiting for his Hits
Franco De Vita is a one of Venezuelan's greatest composers and interpreters. All of his songs in this CD are definitely his best Hits. There are some "Live" versions that makes the whole CD unforgetable, specially to his fans. His piano introductions to some of his songs makes me hear it once and again.

Good to have!
If you are new to Franco de Vita this cd collection is totally worth it to own basically goes over most of his career up to 1999. You can have most of his old songs.
