A Truly Harmoniuous and Vibrant Compilation
Compay is an inspired and tireless musician, it is hard to believe that most of the tracks were recorded when he was in his nineties. This CD is a colorful compilation of rhythm and mood, vibrant and full of life. His music is a wonderful walk on the streets of Havana, blessed with soul and colour. Enjoy!.


Amazing EXCEPT!!!....
His voice. Compay Segundo is a god. . . the music on this CD is AMAZING. You'll be transported to another time. . . . EXCEPT the ANNOYING GUITAR!! The second song is amazing and then there's these absolutely horrible guitar solos. . . . . ugh! I can't listen to that song without thinking I would have kicked the drunk gutar player off the stage. The songs where the guitar is in teh background are amazing. . . every song where the fumbling guitar playing is prominent is annoying because if you could scrape that crap off the top you'd have 100% masterpieces!! Are there any Compay Segundo CD's without this guy playing guitar?? If so get them!!.


Wonderful collection
The tunes include Chan Chan from the BVSC but in a different version. For anyone who enjoys the Buena Vista Social Club cd this is an absolute must own collection from the great Compay Segundo. The tunes are all beautifully sung and the instumental accompaniment is outstanding. A great addition to any music collection. Compay Segundo's music exudes a joy that is irresistable.


Gracias, Indeed
Compay knew the essence of enjoyment and he conveys this feeling to the listener so effortlessly and effectively. While listening to this CD one is transported to another realm. This music leaves one's spirit soaring. His rendition of 'Chan Chan' and 'Guantanamera' is sublime.
An excellent collection of Compay's songs and very well priced to boot.
