Silvio Rodríguez is one of the founders of the "Nueva Trova" sound.
This was a fusion of musical genres that originated in the 1960s in revolutionary age Cuba.
Rodríguez was and is one of the most prolific composers/performers of his time, writing over 1000 songs, rich with triple entendre that touched on such subjects as romance, politics, and nature. AL FINAL DE ESTE VIAJE is an amazing example of his gift. Perhaps, it is one of his (many) masterpieces. The album kicks off with the beautiful, melodious "Cancion del Elegido" (Song of the Chosen). It sounds as though Rodriguez draws his musical inspiration from that of a higher power (perhaps the angels themselves!) and transfers the sound to music, for us mere mortals. Rodriguez's masterful attack of the guitar sounds beautiful here. One of my favorite songs, "La Era Esta Pariendo Un Corazon" (The World is Giving Birth to a New Heart) is rich with beautiful lyrics (an example being "Le he preguntado a mi sombra/a ver como ando, para reirme/mientras el llanto, con voz de templo/rompe en la sala regando el tiempo" –translation: I asked my shadow/to see how how I was doing, laughing at myself/while crying with the voice of a temple/breaking into watery time). The melody is absolutely mesmerizing from the first guitar strum to the last.
I must say I am amazed that more people haven't heard of Silvio Rodriguez. He is truly a genius and his sound on this record is a great fusion of Spanish and Afro-Cuban sounds, grounded, beautiful and very poetical. No doubt, contemporary artists like Juanes (from Colombia and also a wonderfully poetic and prolific musician) draw inspiration from this master. Don't miss out on this gem!!allmusic.com
