Great sound track. As best I remember, had most if not all of the songs and music from the movie.

This soundtrack has been running in our home for the past 5 1/2 years as we travel around the world from the moment I met my girlfriend to the moment she became my wife to now. It is the soundtrack of our life together. You can't find a more romantic soundtrack to drink to and romanticize to.
Lila Down's voice is amazingly powerful, melancholic and fierce. She can change her voice from a low tune to an extremely high tune without any effort whatsoever. She is a legend for sure. One of the greatest singers of all time.
The composer of the songs (Elliot) could not have composed a more beautiful collection of instrumental songs. If I could play these songs on the guitar, my wife would immediately take me in her arms, the songs are so sentimental.
The sound of the guitar is so intruiging, it moves your soul to a level where nothing else in the world matters, but people enjoying the time together.
The final song is almost impossible to describe. Burn It Blue deserved the Oscar in 2003 a million times more than the other songs in that category. This song can't be beaten. Caetano Veloso and Lila Down's voices are simply perfect together and rip your heart out of your soul when your loved one is away.
It is a terribly sentimental song - so beautiful it will stay with you for the rest of your life, as will the rest of the CD. It deserved more than five stars.
This soundtrack is amazing! Salma Hayek's performance is brilliant! Elliot Goldenthal composed such beautiful melodies!
"Frida Soundtrack"

A wonderful CD soundtrack filled with beautiful, festive south of the border selections from the movie Frida. Now it can be a cinco de mayo celebration at my house any day!
In this CD, one can find an excellent combination of melodies and performances for every mood. You can listen to it when you are angry, and feel that the music is angry with you; or listen to it when you are sad and hear the crying in the notes and the voices of the performers; or play it when you are feeling happy and the music will enhance your high spirits, as if you were walking a road in Mexico's countryside, under a warm sunny day. It's one of those CD's that can accompany your moods, no matter, because it reaches deep inside. Highly recommended!
Julie Taymor's "Frida" was a visually interesting movie that failed to really capture Frida Kahlo (the politics of the movie were too shy for one thing), but it featured a nice score by Elliot Goldenthal, who has sense moved in with Taymor and recently produced the soundtrack for her "Across The Universe" musical. There are some interesting tracks here that carry the flavor and essence of classic Mexico. "The Floating Bed" has some beautiful sounds and strings. "El Conejo" is a rousing number from the urban Mexico of Frida's time, the post-revolution period where the nation was struggling to define itself after a 10-year insurrection that radically transformed society. Mexican singing legend Chavela Vargas (who knew Frida) makes two great appearances with the classic "ranchera" "Paloma Negra" and a gritty take on "La Llorona." However the artist who most stands out in this disc is Lila Downs. Downs has made a name for herself in the world music stage, producing some of the best Latin folk recordings of the past few years. Here she creates a dark, deep atmosphere with some stylish, emotional numbers like "Alcoba Azul" and the hypnotic, Oscar-nominated "Burn It Blue" featuring Caetano Veloso. Downs' rendition of "La Llorona" is a beautiful homage to the classic mariachi style. The only thing that keeps "Frida" from being a masterful soundtrack is that without the contributing artists and their songs we are left with Goldenthal's somewhat bare score which recycles most of the same gimmicks. There are some nice, gorgeous moments, but they are too few. It seems as if Goldenthal only sticks to one rhythm or melody, instead of producing a true, red-blooded take on the classic sounds of post-revolutionary Mexico. No matter, "Frida," has enough to make it stand out as a noteworthy soundtrack that reaches for some impressive artistic heights.
