Tremendo Disco.......2005-11-22

Edwin Col?n Zayas es tremendo y no decepciona en este disco. El compendio es perfecto para el que quiera una introducci?n a la m?sica t?pica puertorrique?

Jibaro Hasta El Hueso.......2004-11-03

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.

Puerto Rican music at its best!!.......2003-07-13

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.

Viva la musica jibara!.......2002-02-15

What a wonderful reminder of the unique richness of Puerto Rican music and culture! If you're "boricua", share this music with both your parents and your kids. If you like virtuostic guitar music, with a hint of salsa and jazz, this CD is for you. Great, great stuff.

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