5.0 out of 5 stars My mom listened to this and cried., September 24, 1998

This is the best collection of "música típica" out there, bar none. The Spanish/English translations are invaluable. A must have for anyone wanting to pass down the tradition of "Jibaro" music or wanting to discover it.

My parents had a collection of these songs and they have since been lost. I am glad to have this collection. They are among the best of the period.
