Biography
Even if you don't understand Spanish, Silvio Rodriguez's songs are starkly beautiful and quietly intense. This Cuban singer's lyrics concentrate on radical politics and matters of the heart in a truly unique fashion. Rather than the Buena Vista Social Club, think of Crosby, Stills & Nash rolled up and stuffed into a Latin Billy Bragg. Like Bragg, Rodriguez personalizes socialist philosophy by whispering about love, and his work can also be enjoyed by the apolitical and the capitalist.
