Music reviews of PUERTO RICO
Music Review: Don't bother / Ni te molestes.
Rating: 1 Stars
The only worthwhile items on this CD are numbers 8, 9, and 11. The rest is an amalgamam of depressing songs, mostly "pregones", making it the primal reason this compilation stinks, as Puerto Rican music is usually very upbeat and full of life. I have a feeling that whomever decided on most of these particular songs had a hidden political agenda, as the lyrics have an "independentista" double entendre to them.
I should have suspected, since the album contains two numbers with Andrés "El Jíbaro" Jímenez, a once-promising artist who got too high on his political horse. I guess he must think of himself as the Puerto Rican equivalent of Silvio Rodríguez, "y realmente no le llega ni a los talones".
Don't waste your money, that is, unless you're into the "blame the Yankee for every problem in Puerto Rico" mindset.
Oh, and one more thing: "¡Ni siquiera es bailable!" Now, isn't that proof enough that it's not an album representative of Puerto Rican music?
