Oro "Grandes Exitos"

ABBA in total Spanish was a treat I did not expect! I honestly believe the songs on this album sound better in Spanish than English...and I am a Georgia native. The vitality and beauty of the songs remains true to the classic, and I wish I could buy more in Spanish.

I had purchased this item on tape years ago and decided that I wanted to purcase it on DVD. To me, this is the greatest DVD I own.

Just as any ABBA album, ORO is simply divine. It includes all their Spanish hits from Fernando and Chiquitita to Dame! Dame! Dame! (Gimme, Gimme, Gimme), Estoy soñando (I Have a Dream) and Al andar (Move On). All fifteen songs have great sound quality and are perfect to dance at party or simply to enjoy a nice evening with good music.
This is a MUST-HAVE for every ABBA Fan.

Como cualquiera de las grabaciones de ABBA, ORO es simplemente divino. El mismo incluye todos sus éxitos en español desde Fernando y Chiquitita hasta Dame! Dame! Dame!, Estoy soñando y Al andar. Las quince canciones tienen una gran calidad de sonido y son perfectas para bailar en una fiesta o simplemente disfrutar una velada con buena música.
Es un disco esencial para todos los fanáticos de ABBA.

I bought this cd for a couple of reasons. I am learning Spanish and knew I would enjoy the latin versions of these famous tunes; and, this weekend I'm going to see the hit musical "Mamma Mia" (saw it a few years back and LOVED it!!!) and I know this cd will get me revved up for the fun!

This cd contains several of my favorite ABBA songs---"Chiquitita", "Fernando", "La Reina del Baile" (Dancing Queen), "Estoy Sonando" (I Have a Dream) and "Mamma Mia" to name a few. In Spanish the songs retain all the charm and great pop sound of their English counterparts. You will not need to know Spanish (I know very little!) to enjoy the music. Good music will transend any language and it is certainly true of this set of chart topping 70s hits!

After hearing this cd, I am planning on buy "Mas Oro", another collection containing more latin music from ABBA. I definitely recommend this to ABBA fans!

ABBA in the seventies was a musical juggernaut sweeping the top 40 of mostly all international markets. South/Latin America though was not one of these markets. So ABBA decided then to re-release their songs in Spanish. The result was a smashing success that created a loyal fan base.

While Fernando, Chiquitita, and Mamma Mia translated quite fine, their version of "Conociendome, Conociendote" or "Knowing Me, Knowing You" was a little tougher, but still sounds good. Hasta Manana and Andante, Andante are two very pleasant and personal songs that hit that nerve previous hits accomplished. Even to the untrained Spanish speaker, Agnetha and Frida still sound very well.
