5.0 out of 5 stars Silvio at his best..., June 19, 2000

By A Customer

This album made me realize, after years of listening and loving Silvio's music and poetry, that he is a genius. His depth, his understanding of human nature, of life's mysteries, never cease to amaze me. His incredible sense of humour is at its best in "El extrano caso de las damas de Africa". It is true that nowhere else, but in Cuba, a certain kind of chocolate covered cookie is called "africana" and this is exactly what this song is all about: not really about "ladies from Africa", but about these delicious chocolate cookies...His understanding of life's very nature are captured in Eva; Locuras; Oh melancolia; Bolero y Habaneras; Jerusalen ano cero. His eagerness to know everything there is between life and death, heaven and earth, make him the extraordinarily gifted poet he is, a true genius. No matter how far away I am from my motherland, his beautiful music and profound poetry follows me everywhere, as a reminder of how proud I should be to have witnessed his talent during my lifetime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Silvio in his best,mood style, August 24, 2000

By	Enrique Muñoz Ortega (Mexico CIty Mexico) - See all my reviews

This is one of the best Silvio's albums you can get. It's a wonderful trip for his melancholic,softly mood of writing,with a few wondering songs like "La prisión","Bolero y habanera" and,of course,the title song of the disc.Rodriguez brings us the sensibility of a prime autor and you doesn't need to understand spanish to feel the great kindness of a human being always concearn with the world he lives.If you never hear Silvio this is also a nice introduction to his style and a fine example of his art
