Listening to this collection of 13 south-american standards, you'll immediatly find out that SOLEDAD BRAVO is one of the best female singers in the Central and South American territory. Her fresh and intense vocal timbre on these recordings is immeasurably moving. SOLEDAD BRAVO is the only Latin singer able to go from a style to an other, epitomizing the fusion of beautiful poetry and unique singing in an extraordinarily varied programme of canciones latino-americana (from argentinian tango to mexican bolero, from ranchera to venezuelan folklore...). Intense emotions and heavy thrills from these classical refrains that sound even better with the lights off (Silvio\ Rodriguez' 'La Maza', or Carlos Jobim's 'Eu sei que vou te amar' are pure gems !). Truly exceptional ! And let's add a superlative that should only be used with great forethought and care : ESSENTIAL ! Released in 2000
