I hope I get my money back or I get the original CD, not the MP3. You need to know this music to be able to understand that there are conversations by Ruben Blades that very subtly blend into the beginning of songs. Sadly, the MP3 is fragmented, cut in pieces. This is not a regular music CD with clear cut endings and beginnings to songs, instead the author blended story telling with music. This CD is one of Ruben Blades greatest and it is such a shame that a computer cut the songs for sale as an MP3. Please, return my money or send me the original CD or ask a person that knows Ruben Blades music to record the MP3 and resend it to me. I grew up listening to Ruben Blades, I love all his songs :)

Maestra Vida has been considered the first Latin-American opera by some. This is for good reason, as this album features some of the same elements of theatre found in opera, while staying true to its salsa roots. Some of the tracks have become standalone hits in their own right, such as "Manuela" and "Como Tu" from this first part. All of the music is excellently scored and sung and has a very "down home" type feel. It speaks of many of the social injustices Ruben Blades is famous for exposing and seeking to have changed. Definitely a great album that is welcome in any salsa collection.

Clásico de la salsa, tremenda historia narrada/contada por Ruben Blades y Willie Colón. Excelentes arreglos musicales... una joya para todo buen salsero.

A salsa classic. Awesome story narrated/told by Ruben Blades and Willie Colón. GReat music arrangements... a gem for a good salsa lover.
