Simon Diaz is to Venezuelan Folklore what Celia Cruz is for the salsa world. He is the creator of music like Caballo Viejo and Bamboleo made famous by other people.

Unfortunately Venezuela is getting to be known more for the crazy actions of its President but fortunately we have people like Simon Diaz that reflects the pure soul of the venezuelan!
Enjoy...VIVA VENEZUELA....ANTONIO GONZALEZ-SANCHEZ

Brought tears to my eyes. Simón Diaz is enchanting, and this CD is a connection to the soul of Venezuela.

Simon Diaz represents to Venezuela the most genuine Ambassador of these little joys of the
plainsman. His catalogue - as composer and singer - is abundant, but he will specially reminded for his famous milk songs which allow to extract more efficiently a major amount of milk, through these simple but at the meantime expressive morning salute.

In the second half of his prolific existence (he has additionally been an humorist with an impressive ability to improvise with astonishing sharpness emotive strophes in less you can blink) he composed his best and well renowned theme: Caballo Viejo (Old horse) that focuses around the love 's arrival around the autumnal stage of the life of a horse; sublime metaphor of the human condition when a sudden love may become true. "Old horse can not loss that chance, because after this life there is not any opportunity. "

If you want to know the simple but melodic moods of the most fervent expression of the Venezuelan genuine feeling at these tense and crucial moments this country is passing through, come for this musical postcard.
