Synopsis
Album Description One of the two giants (the other being Pablo Milanes) of a highly political folk music known as 'Nuevo Trova'. He has revisited the minimal guitar-based acoustic arrangements of the early years and enlisted the help of La Orquesta Sinfonica Nacional de Cuba to record this album. 'Expedicion' is a symbol of Rodriguez' musical journey, this chapter 3 years in the making. All are new songs save for 3 re-recordings of older classics. Similar CDs |
CD ReviewsExpedicion not a revolution Maria Laura Fernandez | 09/10/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "Being a fan of Silvio's guitar-based work, I should admit my prejudice upfront, which is that this is heavily orchestral production, signficiantly free of Silvio's guitar playing. Some songs would be stronger, one can tell, if a guitar (or any bassier intrument) were present to add some weight to the song structure. But in addition to this, Expedicion might not excite loyal listeners because there is a serious lack of revolutionary ideology in these songs. And as largely a collection of 'romantic songs' these lack the intimate feel and philosophical intelligence of his trademark work. Still, a very talented artist offering well crafted songs, if not watered down to reach, it would seem, a larger, less critical audience." GRACIAS SILVIO Sergio Bernales | Lima, Perú | 12/10/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "Realmente maravilloso, se deja escuchar de largo como lo era Al Final de este Viaje, puedes escuchar todo el repertorio y pensar que pasaron cinco minutos. Debe tener algo mágico de parte de "El Aprendiz de Brujo" pues mi hija de apenas dos años y medio goza con el disco y pide que lo toquen, especialmente, Totí. Simplemente MARAVILLOSO, ya no sorprende. Gracias Silvio." EXPEDICION HACIA EL CENTRO .... M. A. MALDONADO | SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO | 04/05/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "SILVIO RODRIGUEZ ES CUBANO...... NO ES EL ITALIANO PAVAROTTI, NI EL MEJICANO LUIS MIGUEL, PARA NUESTRA FORTUNA. ES EL MEJOR CRONISTA DE LOS PENSARES Y SENTIRES DE TODA LA AMERICA NUESTRA. TODA LA OBRA DISCOGRAFICA DE ESTE TROVADOR LATINOAMERICANO ES UN ROMPECABEZAS BIEN PENSADO Y SENTIDO DEL CUAL EXPEDICION ES UNA PIEZA QUE ENCAJA PERFECTAMENTE EN SU BITACORA DE VUELO. LOS NAUFRAGOS DE IDENTIDAD PUEDEN SEGUIR EL CAMINO TRAZADO POR SILVIO........ES GRATIS."
