5.0 out of 5 stars Enter the Master, July 24, 2002

Maybe Robi Rosa is better known as a composer for Ricky Martin ('La copa de la vida'). And while Martin's music is pop straight, Robi Rosa's music is darker. For me, he's the grandmaster of the gothic genre in spanish. This CD is full of melancholy, of despair. Robi's voice can jump from a really somber growl to a mad wail. His lyrics are poetry, being his influences romantic poets like Blake and Shelley and symbolists (and late romantics) like Baudelaire and Rimbaud. Even you can find Pessoa in his music. Really, I don't know what will become of his music when he discovers Paul Celan, but you bet that it will get better. So, if you are looking for good music to caress your ears, if you feel like Icarus, come enter the master. Buy this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Robi Draco Rosa=Genius, April 16, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Vagabundo (Audio CD)

I have been a Robi fan since 1984.i have been there during Menudo, his Portuguese releases, Salsa, Maggie's Dream, Frio, Vagabundo, and Songbirds & Roosters. Vagabundo is my favorite CD of all time. "Blanca Mujer" is my favorite song of all time. I like to put my stereo on repeat so that I can hear it over and over. This CD will never get old to me. I even bought a backup copy in case it goes out of print and mine should break! The only word that I can think of to describe this CD is "PERFECTION." You will not be disappointed! PS I speak very little Spanish; this CD crosses all language barriers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Una de las mas grandes piezas del rock hispano, April 23, 2004

Indudablemente "Vagabundo" de Robi Draco Rosa es una de las piezas mas grandes del rock hispano de todos los tiempos. Ocurre algo muy peculiar con este album, a medida que va pasando el tiempo se va convirtiendo cada vez mas en uno de esos objetos de culto, una joya que uno conserva y otorga cada vez un valor personal. Vagubundo lidea con los momentos mas dificiles de ese mismo Robi que mas adelante seria ganador de Grammys, compositor de exitos. Pero que aparentemente para ese entonces estaba tocando los limites de lo oscuro, de lo etereo, que habia ingresado en un mundo indescriptible que solo se transmite para que los seres con una misma complejidad logren decifrar este oceano de palabras conjuntas.
En vagabundo todas las canciones un esta directamente vinculadas la una con la otra, todas las palabras y los sentimentos, el uno con el otro. Si esta en la busqueda de joyas musicales y poeticas este probablemente le ayude a llenar el vacio.
