Very Interesting.......2005-01-18

This very interesting CD was produced by the Mexico City Government's Department of Cultural Affairs and is distributed by a major label (BMG). There several ways to approach this review:

If you are a fan of Eugenia Leon, you will probably be delighted with this ground breaking work...in which the grassroots diva makes a "cross-over" into a semi-operatic style of singing that evokes Cecilia Bartoli's mezzo instrument. For this recording she uncovered some interesting registers of her voice that she now smoothly incorporates into her traditional dark & sultry chest-voice.

If you are a music fan & you like string quartets, the impeccable exectution on the Cello & Violins, plus some rarely recorded 1920's songs such the melancholic "Tierra de Mis Amores", Agustin Lara's endearing "Casita Blanca", the haunting "La Ixhuahteca" & the Baroqueish melody of "Santiago" will make this a very interesting acquisition.

One last note, half of the arrangements were written by Arturo Marquez (Danzon No. 2), who along with Eugenio Toussaint leads the charge in Mexico's contemporary "Classical" music movement. Both are accomplished composers, arrangers, conducters & performers.

Grabación importante.......2001-05-31

En los últimos años la música popular tradicional mexicana ha ido desapareciendo del mercado discográfico. Esta grabación es un evento realmente importante en varios niveles: Primero, ofrece un repertorio de canciones que se inscriben en una época y en una situación cultural bien definida; la consolidación de la República como tal. Segundo, este repertorio está ejecutado con el mayor de los cuidados musicales posibles, lo que es en sí un logro mayor de la grabación: el cuartelo latinoamericano es excelente, y los arreglos son de una intimidad y belleza realmente impresionantes; y finalmente Eugenia León, que parece estar en una evolución constante y en ininterrumpido ascenso, y quien haya escuchado sus primeras grabaciones podrá constatarlo. Evidentemente que el repertorio y el estilo nos hace recordad a Tehua... y no me imagino a Eugenia León como su sucesora, pero sí como vehementemente inspirada en el trabajo de esa gran cantante.

Traditional Son Style - Perfecto.......2006-06-26

Of all of Eliades' releases that I have heard so far, this CD is my second favorite after Tribute to the Cuarteto Patria. There is some excellent solo tres work by Ochoa in nearly all the tracks. The vocals and playing throughout are classic Ochoa and Cuarteto Patria. Whereas some of their releases and collaborations have a somewhat more modern sound with the addition of other instruments like saxophones or trumpets, this CD presents an excellent collection of their signature sound - that of the earthy soul of traditional Son. Many compilations have released selected songs of Eliades & the Cuarteto, but this CD has many original songs unreleased on other albums. Almost all the songs are outstanding, including Que Te Parece Cholito, Caminita de Zaza, Rita la Caimana, and Estoy Hecho Tierra. The Cuarteto also lends their unique mark to the fabulous classic, Beso Discreto; and Mujer Perjura and Alma de Mujer are nice, soothing ballads with relaxing melodies. But, my personal favorite is the last track, La Culembra - which is simply well put together all around. And, as an Egrem release, the acoustics throughout are fabulous. In short, it is an excellent additional to any collection of traditional Cuban Son.
