Title: The beginning of a great pairing
Review: The first of several albums together, Willie Colon and Ruben Blades created a gem with "Metiendo Mano." Here you have "Pablo Pueblo" the story of the struggling working man, a true masterpiece. You also have Tite Curet Alonso's "Plantacion Adentro", the tale of a slave needless to say, another struggle. As you can see, Ruben tends to portray the common Joe in his songs and with majestic ability I might add. "Lluvia de Tu Cielo", "La Mora", and "La Maleta" are all fantastic songs that round out this 5 star album. Ruben's lyrics and Willie's arrangements are a winning combination. Definitely a must for any Blades fan.
