Product Description
Nobel Prize winning author Gabriel Garcia Marquez' novel comes to the big screen, starring Javier Bardem, Benjamin Bratt, and John Leguizamo. The film follows a love triangle set in turn of the century South America, where two lovers wait out careers, marriages, affairs, and deaths until they can reunite. The soundtrack showcases lush Columbian music with an authentically beautiful score by Antonio Pinto ("City Of God") and two new tracks, sung in Spanish, by Shakira. These songs were written exclusively for the film and are exclusive to this soundtrack.

NOSTALGICA Y EVOCADORA October 11, 2008
C. Bellegarrigue (El Salvador)
Muy independientemente de la pelicula, la cual no he visto (y no hace falta verla) este soundtrack es una verdadera riqueza de ritmos sudamericanos y de un sentimiento de nostalgia realmente encantador; la voz de shakira cantando boleros es incomparablemente hermosa (adoro el tema "HAY AMORES" y su segundo tema "LA DESPEDIDA" es sencillamente maravilloso); asimismo, las demas melodias instrumentales son tan inspiradoras como para pasar toda una tarde frente a una puesta de sol junto al ser amado escuchando el disco completito!! yo no suprimiria ni un solo tema, todos son merecedores de aplausos, lo unico malo es que algunas de las melodias son muy cortas y talvez merecian durar mas tiempo del asignado...pero igual, son preciosas.
Este cd es para todo amante del bolero, la nostalgia y el amor a la musica sudamericana.

I love this soundtrack, the music is very Colombian traditional. The first three tracks features Shakira and the rest are melodies. It is very relaxing to listen to.

Exciting vibrany CD music, very intimate and sensual. Much better than the movie it represents.
A Lush, Beautiful Romantic Score. February 22, 2008

So maybe the film adaptation of legenday Colombian author Gabriel Garcia Marquez's "Love In The Time Of Cholera" didn't fully live-up to the source material, but the soundtrack has. Antonio Pinto has scored a beautiful, lush work that brings the world of the film to life with atmospheric sounds and some strong original songs by Shakira. The soundtrack begins with Shakira's contributions, a set of three songs that capture the film's bittersweet love story. Shakira herself is Colombian and gives us a classic bolero "Hay Amores" which has a wonderful, classic feel. The Golden Globe nominated "Despedida" is dramatic and memorable while "Pienso En Ti" has a passive, reflective mood powered by Shakira's strong vocals. The rest of the score by Pinto is a rich set of melodies and pieces that combine the orchestal with authentic music from the Caribbean region where the story takes place. There is a haunting quality to the mix of strings and guitar in a track like "Love." "White Suit" has a cool, breezy feel while "Hildebranda" evokes the kind of indigenous, almost Afro-Caribbean sounds one finds in the coasts of South America. Antonio Pinto has composed a score of heartbreak and tears, wanting and despair, all nicely evoked in tracks like "Escolastica" and "Florentino" where the orchestra swells with great gusto. "Sex Drum" has a great tribal feel while "Los Dos" is a fun, ethnic song that again evokes the Caribbean with wonderful atmosphere. "Love In The Time Of Cholera" has that rare quality in a film score in that it stands apart from the film and in fact, elevated many of the film's weaker scenes or performances. A potent mix of film score and world music, this one is for the romantics and for the ones with sharp ears.
