Expedicion
One of the Two Giants (The Other Being Pablo Milanes) of a Highly Political Folk Music Known as 'nuevo Trova'. The Movement's Influences Include the South American 'nueva Canción' ('new Song') Movement and the Poetry of Artists Like Bob Dylan and the Beatles. Rodríguez' Thin but Expressive Tenor Sings with Poetic, Often Obscure Lyrics and Beautiful, Atypical Melodies. Rodriguez Originally Used Simple Acoustic Instrumental Arrangements as Backup, but Expanded the Variety of Players on his Recording During the 80's. Consequentially, the More Sophisticated Arrangements Borrowed from Classical Music, Reggae, Pop and Traditional Cuban Rhythms. Recently, He Has Revisited the Minimal Guitar-based Acoustic Arrangements of the Early Years and Enlisted the Help of La Orquesta Sinfonica Nacional De Cuba to Record this Album. 'expedicion (Expedition)' is a Symbol of Rodriguez' Musical Journey, this Chapter Three Years in the Making, all Are New Songs Save for Three Re-recordings of Older Classics.
