One Of The Leon Gieco's Beautiful Works.......2003-11-17
So here you have raunchy rock'n'roll alongside with Chamamé (a popular form in Argentina's north), South American folk and stunning contemporary ballads. The album holds a rather high level throughout, yet there are some standout tracks like Sin Querer and La Memoria, which alone deserve the purchase of this CD. If you know Spanish, these two songs' lyrics will move you immensely, whereas Sin Querer is the statement of a man accepting life and appreciating beyond judgment, La Memoria is a roll call of the injustices that Latin America has suffered during the twentieth century. Both conceived and realized completely, without falling in clichés or becoming a mere political pamphlet, which not being a coincidence at all, also award him comparisons with Bob Dylan.
