Editorial Reviews

From the Artist
In the forward-looking words of the young singer on this recording, Karol Aurora De Jesús Reyes, the music "will make us shine around the world, until the people hear the music and say, ‘Look, that is the music of Puerto Rico.’ It’s the music of my country, that which represents us and that which identifies us as a people."

Product Description
The resurgence of cultural and racial pride in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s had a parallel in Puerto Rico-so much so that today, the mere sound of música jíbara can provoke a cheer of cultural and national pride. In the forward-looking words of the young singer on this recording, Karol Aurora De Jesús Reyes, the music "Will make us shine around the world, until the people hear the music and say, 'Look, that is the music of Puerto Rico.' It's the music of my country, that which represents us and that which identifies us as a people." Leader Miguel Santiago Díaz hand-picked this group of virtuosic instrumentalists to let the music to shine at its brightest.

Lyric transcriptions available here.

¡Nominación Grammy 2004!

El resurgimiento del orgullo cultural y étnico en los Estados Unidos durante las décadas de los 1960 y 1970 tuvo un desarrollo paralelo en Puerto Rico, tanto que hoy en día el mero sonido de la música jíbara puede provocar una ovación de orgullo cultural y nacional. En las palabras al futuro de la joven cantante en esta grabación, Karol Aurora de Jesús Reyes, la música "Nos hará brillar alrededor del mundo, hasta que la gente oiga la música y diga 'Mira, esta es la música de Puerto Rico.' Es la música de mi país, aquella que nos representa con la que nos identificamos como pueblo". El director Miguel Santiago Díaz ha escogido a cada uno de los miembros de este grupo de músicos virtuosos para dejar que la música brille al máximo

5.0 out of 5 stars Musica puertorriqueńa por cierto...chévere!!, January 11, 2004
By "plenama" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
For those of you who are new to the real music from Puerto Rico, this CD is an excellent primer and a real treat. First of all, Miguel Santiago Díaz (and this entire album) was recently nominated for a grammy under the folk music category!
Second, Miguel Santiago Díaz is one of the great singers of the second generation of recorded Jíbaro singers. Third, if you thought salsa was native puerto rican music...sorry, it is not! Musica jíbara and the melodies in this album are the real thing! This album will help you understand why Puerto Rican music (musica Jíbara) is so wonderful as it is diverse. As a collector of Puerto Rican music, I truly recommend the album because it represents a few things, including: 1) Excellent arrangements of traditional jíbaro music; 2) A rebirth in the singing and playing of traditional jíbaro music; and 3) The first time ever that a traditional Puerto Rican Jíbaro singer was nominated to win a grammy...This album is a real treasure...this is a solid buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best....A must have, December 5, 2004
By nancy mendez-minier (Orlando Florida) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am 40 yrs. old and my parents listened to this type of Jibaro music. Jibaro...like it has a negative connotation. Well the truth is as we grow older we learn to appreciate the beauty of music.,the lyrics, the sounds, the meaning. This is by far a true depiction of folk music from Puerto Rico, but many from other countries enjoy it as well. This is a CD that every Puerto Rican household should have because it is classic, it provokes cultural and Puerto Rican pride. It is music that makes you feel it in the blood, in your heart and in your bones. I bought one for my father,for my husband and for my step father. You can listen to tracks of this CD on Smithsonian Folkways Recordings and enjoy for yourself small tastes of jibaro music. Go out and buy it...it really belongs in your home and it will take you back to where you should never leave. You can even get the lyric at Smithsonian Folkways Recordings. You will never hide this CD away and others will beg you for a copy. tell them to go buy it. It superb and it is something to be proud of. A 5 rating is still too little. The price is reasonable and the pleasure is enormous.
