3.0 out of 5 stars This is NOT a Silvio Rodriguez recording, August 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: El Hombre Extrano (Audio CD)

For those of you who are disappointed for this recording, and say that Silvio did not made a good job on this one, you should know that this record, even tought that has Silvio's name on it, is a recording from a Cuban gropu named "Sintesis", in this recording they borrow some Silvio's songs and made all the musical arrengements. Silvio's participation (Singing) is only on "El hombre extraño", which, by te way, was recorded live by Silvio on his Chile concert (1990). So, don't feel disappointed with Silvio on this one, because i didn't really recorded it.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are a Silvio fan this is not the CD for you., April 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: El Hombre Extrano (Audio CD)

I love Silvio's music and I have almost everything he has made but this is CD was a disappointment. If you are expecting his wonderful music you will see that the only reason it has his name on this label is because it has one song that he wrote and guest sings. It's not worth it! buy any other title. Mano a Mano with Aute is great. Get that one instead.

In case you weren't convinced by the other reviews previously posted, take my word for it--this CD just plain stinks. It sounds like it was recorded through a $3 Radio Shack microphone pointed at a pocket transistor radio. Supposedly Sintesis is one of the top bands in Cuba. Listening to this heinous CD I can't understand why. Had I not paid so much for it, this is the one CD in my collection I'm tempted to use as a drink coaster/frisbee/skeet target. And I'm a borderline insane Silvio Rodriguez fan. In the 80's I actually took a trip to South America mostly just to buy his albums that weren't available in the US. I'd recommend any Silvio CD over this one, even if it were a recording of him making barnyard sounds or performing childrens' songs by cupping his hand under his armpit.
