5.0 out of 5 stars Oops, she did it again, December 30, 2000
By 
O. M. Suarez "aerobol" (Mayagüez, Puerto Rico) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Al Despertar (Audio CD)
Banality (Spears-like) is not in Mercedes "La Negra" Sosa's dictionary. After experimenting and succeeding with other music styles, with this CD La Negra goes back to her roots: Argentine folk music. I'm always amazed by her ability to choose songs. In her songbook there are no meaningless tunes. She chooses each one to express herself, and in WHAT classy way!! This is not her best CD but is very close to be it. If you know Spanish only if you were the Tin Man will not feel moved by "La Villerita" (by other Argentine folk giant: Horacio Guarany). It describes a teenager forced to prostitute herself to survive in a slum in the outskirts of Buenos Aires. I heard this song live and La Negra's emotions are for real, believe me. "Al Despertar" is another milestone in La Mecha's career.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lo que tanto esperaba, August 15, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Al Despertar (Audio CD)
La Negra simplemente es magnifica. Escuchando el CD me he dado cuenta lo mucho que vale el folclor verdadero como lo expresa Mercedes Sosa. El Chamame es simplemente hermoso tanto como la Urpilita y Cuando la belleza pase (de Lerner). La nostalgia despierta en mi cada vez que lo escucho, por el terruño. Saludos Negra, vamos Argentina, todavia!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lo mejor de la "Negra Sosa", August 15, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Al Despertar (Audio CD)
Este CD de Mercedes Sosa es el mejor CD que saco en los ultimos tiempos. Las canciones que seleccionaron para este CD son excelentes sobre todo "La Villerita" y "Sueñero". Un CD sin desperdicio.

5.0 out of 5 stars Me sumo a ti hermano, November 3, 1999
This review is from: Al Despertar (Audio CD)
Increible, yo tambien creo lo mismo. Coincidimos hasta en lo de las canciones, es más añado las siguientes canciones a la lista de favoritas. Dejame que me vaya, La villerita, Viejo corazon, PUEBLERO DE ALLA ITE (la más bella) y la poesía de Como Urpilita perdida es inigualable. La única canción que no me gustó por falta e imaginación fue La Belleza, su música es bonita, pero la letra bastante mediocre, ni siquiera salio impresa en el libro................. Diga no a la piratería, a la chabacanería y cómprelo ya.
