5.0 out of 5 stars
A very good compilation of Silvio's work by David Byrne,
By
This review is from: Cuba Classics 1: Canciones Urgentes (Audio CD)
Silvio Rodriguez has long been, alongside Pablo Milanes, one of communist Cuba's most prominent singer/songwriters. For me, having grown up among Cuban refugees, I've always had a hard time dealing with some of his very political lyrics, but as an amateur musician and an admirer of art, I've always respected him as being an incredible composer. This compilation by David Byrne gathers some of Silvio's best works, although that is a somewhat daring task in such a short album, given his prolific musical career which is still far from an end. There are no bad songs here, but the very best ones are "Unicornio" and "Sueño con Serpientes". Here's the complete listing:Sueño de una noche de verano (6:23) If you want to dig more into his music (by the way, his last name is spelled Rodriguez, with a "z" at the end, not an "s") 'Dias y Flores', 'Unicornio' and 'Rabo de Nube' are three amazing productions.

Sólo punto de partida,
By Antonio Rioseco (Chile) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cuba Classics 1: Canciones Urgentes (Audio CD)
Esta compilación puede considerarse como un punto de partida, pero no el mejor, ni el más representativo. Este disco está enfocado al mundo angloparlante, por lo que las canciones que contiene dan cuenta más de la música cubana que de las líricas de Silvio, las que la mayoría de las veces van acompañadas unicamente de guitarra acústicas y con ritmos sencillos.Sin embargo es una buena forma de acercar a quienes no hablan nuestro idioma al increíble universo musical de Rodríguez. Además la edición es muy buena, y contiene las letras en ambas lenguas y con una biografía del trovador.

A good CD to start listening Silvio Rodriguez,
This review is from: Cuba Classics 1: Canciones Urgentes (Audio CD)
I have many CD from Silvio Rodriguez. If you are like me, we both don't need a review. Looking at song listing is enough to know. Buy, if you are looking for only one Silvio Rodriguez's CD, i recommend this one. Many people only want a single CD from an artist, others want star with one, and after a while, return for more. In both cases, this CD is for them.I recomend pass reviews below for people who are looking for 5 or 6 CD from Silvio Rodriguez. After all, probably if you are one from those, you already have this CD. Finally, pass reviews forget to mention "Días y Flores", it is a "must to have" CD in a Silvio Rodriguez basic colection.
