4.0 out of 5 stars Muestra de un poco de lo mejor de Don Silvio..., November 22, 1999
By A Customer
Un disco que resume en varias canciones lo mejor de la nueva trova Cubana. Silvio, sin duda es uno de los mejores, sin menospresiar a Don Pablo que es el nectar a los oidos de los amantes de la nueva trova.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Album for new listeners !!! IS A MUST HAVE !!, August 6, 1999
By A Customer
For all of us latin americans who know Silvio's work from long time, is not surprising the beatuy of each of these songs. What i did like about this particular recopliation is the fact that it was made byb David Byrnes (Former Talking Head), amnd is oubviously intended for US people who not know much about what is being done in Cuba in Music in the last years. I haved enjoy each and every of this song, even tought i git them on their original albums, but you got to listen to "Unicornio", this live version is WONDERUL! Again, if you are intrested in listen to Silvio for the very first time, this is what you just need. For us spanish speaking people listen to these songs is a double pleasure, plase try to get a translation of these songs to understan why Silvio is so BIG in Latin America

5.0 out of 5 stars Silvio is one of the best en todo el mundo..., January 24, 2003
People from the United States (such as myself) need desperately to listen to music from around the world. Musically, we're a very isolated country. The burgeoning latino population has helped, but the music still somehow remains in the background, there for people who are looking to discover something new, but not for the public at large. Why Silvio Rodriguez is not played on most radio stations in the United States can only be explained by our monolingual culture and maybe xenophobia.

This CD shows that the Spanish speaking world has created some of the world's best music. If we've missed it because we're afraid of non-English lyrics, it's entirely our own loss.

If you haven't heard Silvio Rodriguez, then you are missing out. He is one of the best. His name is known everywhere south of the Rio Grande, and it's not hard to figure out why. This CD showcases some incredible music and lyrics and tells bits of his story. The guitar playing and singing are amazing. Some tracks are more produced than others. Some feature stark productions with guitar, voice and some rhythm instruments ("Sueńo con Serpientes", "La Maza", "Playa Girón"). Others feature a wall of horns or strings or both ("Sueńo de una noche de verano", "Como Esperando Abril", "Canto Arena"). All of them are great songs.

I've had this CD for years, and it has not fallen from prominence in my CD rotation. Silvio Rodriguez is still recording and going strong. If you're going to take a chance and listen to something new, unique and not in english, take a chance on this one. It could open up a new world to you.
