Search - Pepe Aguilar: Grandes Exitos on DVD

Smooth and Romantic Video Collection

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The 10 videos in this collection are well produced romantic baladas, beautifully sung by Aguilar, with excellent mariachi arrangements and musicianship; my favorite is Latin Grammy winner "Por una mujer bonita" which is the most traditional in melody and sound of the 10 tracks. "Por mujeres como tu" is also included, which was Aguilar's 1998 mega-hit that was to put him on the world map of Latin music, and make him a superstar. Pepe Aguilar was born in 1968 in San Antonio, Texas, with a legendary heritage, being the son of Antonio Aguilar and Flor Silvestre. Pepe has a smooth and lovely sound, as if he has wrapped his powerful voice in velvet, and you can't turn on the radio for long without hearing its unique sound.

There is terrific footage of the Costa Careyes area on Mexico's Pacific Coast on several of the tracks, and "Me vas a extranar" was filmed in the famous "Sol de Oriente" villa, with its "to the edge" swimming pool which Aguilar stands on, and Joan Sebastian's "Mas alto que las aguilas" has memorable aerial shots. Extras are a discography and a 2 minute interview, filmed inside "Sol de Oriente." Total running time is approximately 40 minutes.
