Editorial Reviews

2003 release from the Cuban leader of the nueva trova (New Ballad) style of nueva cancion (New Song) movement. Rodriguez masterfully blends romantic tunes with politically-slanted lyrics of protest. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Return to angelic form!, November 19, 2003

This review is from: Cita Con Angeles (Audio CD)

Many times better than weepy orchestral "Expedition," this release has Silvio in political, emotional & poetic stride with intimate and mature production touches. An album free of weakness or low points, Silvio has had a lot on his mind and heart, and like the best in the business, he delivers song after song with delicate guitar picking, emotional vocals, and the type of moods that turn stone-faced viewers of life and society back into teary-eyed romantics with hearts full of integrity and resolve. Politico y dramatico y muy lindo!! PRAISE SILVIO, true music royalty!

5.0 out of 5 stars Las impreteritas canciones de Silvio, December 10, 2003

By 

El aprendiz de Sabio (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cita Con Angeles (Audio CD)

Contiene temas q hablan de la violenta realidad de hoy, llamandonos a la reflexion. Canta con filosofia, sentimiento, desde una optica revolucionaria por asi decirlo, pero a la vez mezcla el disco con canciones de amor al estilo Silvio: sin estrofas comerciales. Musicalmente exquisito con su guitarra de siempre, flauta y armonica q dan el toque diferenciador a los autores originales.El disco no tiene desperdicios pero ponganle atencion a:Cita con angeles, sinuhe y quiero cantarte un beso(thumbs up). Hermosas: mi casa ha sido tomada por las flores, letra de piel y leyenda de los dos amantes.
Les aseguro q no querra dejar de escucharlos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cita con Angeles, February 22, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Cita Con Angeles (Audio CD)

Silvio just did it again!!. In this beautiful artwork he describes our current times and gives us a little bit of our resent history to help us to understand it. On "Cita con Angeles" Silvio refers to "Angels" rushing to save the lives of Jordano DiBruno, Federico Garcia Lorca, the innocent people of Hiroshima, Martin Luther King, Salvador Allende and the Trade World Center. It is a shame this cannot be translated to English.
