5.0 out of 5 stars Silvio's "Mujeres", March 15, 2000

By	Javier Mora (Somewhere in Puerto Rico) - See all my reviews

"Mujeres" is one of the best of Silvio's works if not his best. Only with a guitar and his voice Silvio displays here what many people in the Spanish speaking countries have known for years: He's probably the best songwriter of his generation in Latin America. Great melodies, poetic lyrics and a voice that sings every piece of his heart are the things you'll find in this album. All songs are good but among my favorites are "En estos dias", "Que hago ahora?", "Esto no es una elegia", "A donde van?", "Y nada mas" y "Ya no te espero". There's even a touch of humor in "Cierta historia de amor". In this album Silvio is simply wonderful ; just the perfect "trovador".

5.0 out of 5 stars Y Nada Mas, December 18, 2003

By	Erin Ptacek "any old fool" (Oak Park, Illinois) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is my Desert Island album. A co-worker played this album non-stop one summer, and I was just hooked. Of course, it was possibly the best summer of my life, so this music has that incredible association with it. I've carried this album around for years, and now I use it to calm my kids down when they are over-stimulated. Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry... but listening to this guy play always makes me happy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps one of Silvio's best, January 3, 2002

By	O. M. Suarez "aerobol" (Mayagüez, Puerto Rico) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Many, many years ago I bought this album in LP format as I was growing up (internally and physically). These tunes have accompanied my soul for decades. Why? Perhaps because Silvio's poetry and music have the rare ability of playing with your senses, heart and mind. Yes, as a previous reviewer mentioned, you need a sound knowledge of Spanish to fully enjoy it; however, the lyrics provided by the producer help a lot. Delicious metaphors, exquisite melodies, and some tongue-in-cheek poems are part of this CD that includes one of Silvio's most renowned songs: "Te Doy una Canción" (I give you a song), that was played by artists like Holly Near, and many singers from the New Latin American Song movement. "Mujeres" is a powerful homage to all women and the WOMAN to whom we all men belong. The surrealistic touch in most songs prevents them from becoming cliche or easy tunes. Besides if you try those tunes in your guitar you'll see your fingers tangled up! They seem to be easy but they are not! This CD is for all fans of Latin American music who cannot tolerate banality but yet, they are dreamers and lovers, "luchadores" for a better world.
