Wonderful Piece of Art

Since then, I gathered any SR music I could get my hands on before the internet made it easier. It was with this album that this California kid, spending a summer as an exchange student in Ecuador, was introduced to the mesmerizing beauty of Silvio Rodriguez's lyrics and music.
I might not agree with his politics, but that all disappears when I'm marinating in his comforting, challenging, intoxicating achievement.
It's not just music to hear and love. It's a field of study.


'Dias y Flores' en la vida que nunca pueda olvidar....('Days and Flowers' in life that you will never forget)
The subject matter in these songs runs the gamut of subjects, and the range of musical styles covered here are wonderful. This beautiful album showcases the depth of Silvio Rodriguez's beautiful Spanish style guitar in the genre of Nueva Trova (this originated in Cuba in the 1960s and fused traditional Spanish music with more contemporary style, like rock music). Martinez, a prolific composer and performer, wrote all of the songs on this album himself and performs them with a heightened passion and spirit that really touches the soul. "Sueno Con Serpientes" (Dream with Serpents) and "En El Claro de La Luna" (In the Light of the Moon) are two great examples of this. 'Sueño' begins with a quote from Bertold Brecht ("Hay hombres que luchan un dia y son buenos. Hay otros que luchan un año y son mejores. Hay quienes luchan muchos años y son muy buenos. Pero hay los que luchan toda la vida. Esos son los imprescindibles. " Translation: "There are men who fight for a day and are good. There are others who fight for a year and are better. There are those who fight many years and are very good. But there are those who fight all of their lives. These are the ones who are irreplaceable. ") The song is rich with lyrics alluding to the glory of the fight -- at least that is how I chose to interpret them. You can come to your own conclusion about them. "En El Claro de La Luna" in inspired by the beautiful "Claire de Lune" by the classical composer, Claude Debussy. The tune melds elements from the classical piece with stunningly beautiful lyrics that are absolutely mesmerizing. I just wish that they were translated into English to non-Spanish speakers. (example: "En el claro de la luna/donde quiero ir a jugar/duerme la reina fortuna/que tendra que madrugar" -- "In the light of the moon/where I want to go to play/sleeps the fortunate queen/who has to wake up in the dawn") I really recommend that you buy this CD, regardless of your Spanish proficiency, because, truly the music speaks for itself. For Spanish speakers, the words will speak to your heart and move you profoundly.


Mas de 30 años despues... aun toca profundo
El ejemplo perfecto es este album. La musica de Silvio no envejece. Grabado en 1975, mas de 20 annos despues, retiene la misma frescura y candor de entonces. El album reune temas increibles, como es el caso de "Suenno con Serpientes" (versionada por numerosos artistas), "Pequenna Serenata Diurna", "Yo Digo Que Las Estrellas" y la cancion que le da nombre al album, todas autenticos himnos de la Trova Cubana y las generaciones que han aprendido a amar esta musica.

Es dificil otorgarle el titulo de mejor album de Silvio, no porque no sea genial, sino porque Silvio tiene decenas de canciones inolvidables desperdigadas a lo largo y ancho de su profusa discografia. Entonces, siendo el album inicial de Silvio, lo dejaremos como un album que marco pauta en su momento, hace mas de 30 annos y hoy en dia sigue teniendo vigencia a nivel lirico y musical.


One of his best albums
Today is a true classic, and it's a must to anyone who collects or likes his music. When he launched this album back in the mid seventies, it became an immediate success both in Cuba and abroad, especially in all of Latin America and Spain. Días y Flores (Days and Flowers) contains some of his best poetry and of his best music. It proves that Silvio is an artist in the broadest sense of the word.


No puedo creer que nadie haya comentado el mejor CD de Silvio...
. . pero aqui vamos.

Este es simple y llanamente el mejor album de Silvio (Yo tengo 8 CDs de SR) y si no fuera por este disco, adicionalmente con "Te doy una cancion", "Cancion del Elegido" y "Ojala", nadie supiera de la existencia de este gran trovador cubano.

Es un disco de mediados de la decada del 70, tiempos de la "Nueva Trova" o "Nueva Cancion", todas las canciones son excelentes, si, todas. La perfeccion de este disco solo es comparable a "Mediterraneo" de Serrat, o el "IV" de Led Zepellin, perdonando que junte peras con manzanas, y que no me salen los acentos.
