It´s a wonderful tribute! Plus an album that can stand on its own, IMO.

Thanks for the bump.

Very interested in people who have lived with this album for 5 years (as opposed to just listening to the songs once). Are you normally a fan of Latin music? Would somebody need to be?

Also, am I right that Lauren Hill is on the DVD but not on the CD?
