Negative Positive
Title: beautiful music
Review: For those who don't speak Spanish, the first words sung on the album say "To sing makes sense... singing makes sense, has understanding and reason..." which although it loses something in the translation, tells the listener straight away that this is an album dedicated to Venezuelan song, from African derived work songs to folk tales, protest music and romantic and at times tragic poetry. Soledad Bravo pays tribute to the treasure trove of folk with her beautiful emotive voice which is variously angelic and earthy and her guitar, accompanied only occasionally by other folk instruments. Get it and track down the lyrics on the net if you're a non-Spanish speaker.
