Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Lamento Borincano is a superbly edited and remastered 2-CD collection of early Purerto Rican music, featuring 50 selections played by 20 different groups.

Amazon.com

Lamento Borincano is a wonderful collection of early recordings of Puerto Rican music that cover an astonishingly wide range of styles, from sophisticated danzas, which have a strong European influence, to the earthier sound of the seis jibaro and plena, which were created by farm workers and laborers, to the bolero, son, and guaracha, which were imports from Cuba. All these tracks were recorded in New York between 1916 and 1939, and because most of the musicians were recent immigrants making music for their homesick countrymen, the music still retains a strong island feel. This two-CD set includes a meticulously annotated 56-page booklet that contains biographies of the musicians, lyrics in Spanish and English, and a description of the musical styles. The engineers at Arhoolie have done an excellent job of cleaning up these old records, and even though the recordings were made in the first part of the last century, they are still very easy to listen to and exhibit almost none of the scratchiness that can mar reissues of 78s. Lamento Borincano is a strong reminder that Cuba is not the only Caribbean island that has produced exciting music played by world-class musicians. --Michael Simmons

Really old songs with the nitty gritty!

This CD gives an overview of old Puerto Rican songs that came to be in the early 1900's the songs are nice and melodic, the recording is a little grainy but given the equipment at hand at the time it forgivable. It would be a great music to listen to with a cup of coffee, toast and cheese.

I purchased this for m 86-year old aunt, who only recognized one song. Lovers of musical history should enjoy it, but I wanted something evidencing later recordings, I guess.

My dad loved his birthday gift. He was born in 1931 and remembers growing up listening to this music in PR. He hasn't heard them in decades. It was a pleasure hearing the excitement in his voice.

My 82-year-old Puerto Rican husband loved this set. Wish you offered more than 5 stars. He's soooo happy to hear these songs all together on CD. Have to see if I can find more in the series.

Good music from a small island.

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2013

Verified Purchase

Album title is a little misleading. There is only one cut from 1916. The rest are from the 20s and 30s. That said, it's great music, and well worth investigating. Every "flavor" of Carribean music is worth sampling.
