5.0 out of 5 stars Pura belleza, May 11, 2004

I thought I dug Cuban prodigy Pablo Milanes, but I hadn't heard "Homenaje" until I heard the Cancionero album. The strong acoustic piano lays down the rhythm, and the theme of paying homage to one's birthplace is always touching to me.

Plenty of classics are here, like the mega-popular "Yolanda", absolutely one of the most famous love-songs out there. There's the exuberant "Son para un festival" and the jazzy "Comienzo y final de una verde manana".

"Te quiero porque te quiero" pleases me because it reminds me of a Pablo Neruda poem. What music evokes one of the finest poets on earth?

My favorite track is "Son para despertar a una negrita". "Que la belleza te elija, que la bondad te defina, por siempre la felicidad conserva en ti esa sonrisa..." What mother or father does not feel such a wish for their child? And a wish you can dance to, no less.

4.0 out of 5 stars Muy bueno, pero "Vengo Naciendo" resulta mejor, June 4, 2006

Encontrar una buena recopilacion de Pablo Milanes es una tarea cercana a lo imposible, precisamente por la sobreabundancia de canciones extraordinarias que ha compuesto e interpretado, y la variedad de versiones de las mismas. Si bien este album reune una gran cantidad de temas excelentes de Pablo, considero que el album "Vengo Naciendo" hace un mejor trabajo de introducir a quien lo escuche a la musica de Pablito.
