5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent. Fine Piece of Art. A must have for collectors., April 12, 1999
Edwin Colon is the best Cuatro performer in Puerto Rico. The cuatros' fine quality sound and rich culture of Puerto Rico are detailed in these songs. It is like an imaginary trip to Puerto Rico's best concert. All latin world will ejoy it !!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Jibaro Hasta El Hueso, November 2, 2004
Edwin Colon Zayas is one of many traditional Puerto Rican artists preserving the musical history of Jibaro country folk. Descendants of Puerto Ricans living in the United States and abroad would be surprised to learn that cuatro music is not just for Christmas.

In the central mountain range of Borinquen, this music is listened to on a daily basis by countryside residents. El aguinaldo, el seis and the décima are some of the main styles which characterize different regions. Coastal areas are more inclined to the playing of Bomba and Plena.

If you have a passion for Puerto Rican mountain music with the Cuatro, this CD is for you. I purchased a Cuatro last year; this CD has been an invaluable tool to learning to play along to some difficult routines.

5.0 out of 5 stars Puerto Rican music at its best!!, July 12, 2003
By "elamboy" (Dayton, OH United States) - See all my reviews
Bien Jibaro! is definitely a must have. A great sample of a lot of different styles of the typical puertorrican music like seis, aguinaldo, danza etc. Edwin Colon is the best cuatro player in the world and I highly recommend all of his CD's.

The best "cuatro" playing I have heard. It takes you right up to the mountains of Puerto Rico.
