5.0 out of 5 stars Pure enjoyment, July 11, 2002

By A Customer

This is one of the first album of Silvio. It is an exceptional CD, and it's hard to stop listening to it...
The lyrics are especially beautiful, very political, but you will enjoy the poetry and the music even if you do not agree with Silvio very leftist stand.

It is now my fourth Silvio CD and I don't regret the purchase... I am looking forward to buy Silvio's new album "Expedicion" where he experiments with an orchestra!

Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Al Final de este viaje, November 18, 2001

By	Miguel Torres (Cuba) - See all my reviews

Definitivamente este disco es uno de los grandes de Silvio. Toda su obra es definitivamente trascendental; sus letras llegan hasta las fibras más profundas del ser humano. Conozco este disco desde hace más de 20 ańos y siempre que lo escucho evoco tiempos, memorias. Sus letras y su música son una verdadera joya.

5.0 out of 5 stars Silvio, so much more than great lyrics., October 29, 2001

By	A Fan of World Music (New Jersey, United States) - See all my reviews

Silvio Rodriguez is that strangest of beasts: the truly great musician that deserves his reputation as the greatest songwiter of his generation. To my mind, in the last 50 years only Lucio Dalla in Italy, Georges Brassens in France and Bob Dylan in Rock have achieved the same level of musical achievement and popular success that Silvio got in the 70's. Silvio's first four albums (and this is one of them) are nothing short of revelatory.

And yet, to say that it's only the lyrics that matter is to miss most of Silvio. Take Leo Browner, Cuba's greatest classical composer of the second half of the last century. Browner said that it was unfair, after decades of training to be a composer to find someone like Silvio who effortlessly writes better music than you can ever dream of putting together. Or Joe Sixpack's Website. On that website dedicated to world music, lyrics rank very low. Joe's very critical of highly regarded musicians like Milton Nascimento, Djavan and Pablo Milanes; musicians that write wonderful lyrics but very conventional, plain music in their songs. But when it comes to Silvio, he is ranked among the two or three best things that popular music has to offer. On the same level as Stevie Wonder in his prime in the mid-70's. And Joe's selling Silvio short.

This album includes Una mujer con sombrero, Ojala and Cancion para el elegido. Lyrics that you'll never forget, music that will haunt you and guitar-playing that will amaze you. Those are the Pros. Theres one Con. The album has subdued, subtle arrangements; I needed a couple of listenings to begin to get into the beauty the songs.
