Music reviews of A Man and His Music: Poeta Del Pueblo
Music Review: Great Fania collection with one major flaw
Rating: 4 Stars
As written before, this is a great collection of Rubén's Fania work with excellent liner notes. One might argue an omission of a song here and there, but overall it covers a lot. The tracks are arranged in chronological order and the artwork includes album pictures, concert photos, and a hand-written page of the Pedro Navaja chart. The mastering made Rubén's Fania music sound the best I've heard so far, with a balance of the lows and highs and an increased volume that matches today's music.
The tracks from Maestra Vida ("Manuela", "El nacimiento de Ramiro", and "Maestra vida") have part of their intro text and music taken out. It seems understandable to edit those tracks because the songs might sound weird out of context. What seems unforgivable is the fact that they faded the ending of the song "Maestra vida" leaving out a minute and a half portion that includes a climactic mambo section. I understand that CD 2 is almost 80 minutes long, but they could have picked a shorter song from one of the "filler" LP's and left "Maestra vida" in its full length.
I would have given this double CD 5 stars, but given the importance of the Maestra Vida album, I gave it 4.

Description of A Man and His Music: Poeta Del Pueblo
Known as a poet and bohemian, Ruben Blades has to this day been one of the most prolific songwriters in Latin music history. He wears many hats: Singer, songwriter, politician, and actor - and has penned and sung on numerous salsa classics. He was at the forefront of the NY Salsa movement in the 70's and remains active today with a current tour. All his classics are present on this 28-track (2 CD) set that features an attractive digi-pak with a 24 page booklet with linear notes and photos.International CDs
