REVIEW
“The biggest revelation we’ve had lately came as a result of listening to Arhoolie Records’ incredible compilation Lamento Borincano…. The striking music on the collection was a product of a great migration of Puerto Rican workers to this country…. Arhoolie’s amazing package compiles a trove of beautiful and unbelievably rare plenas boleros sones danzas and other traditional musical forms….
Hearing these long-ago tunes with their robust vocals keening horns and sprightly string ensembles one can’t help feeling refreshed and enchanted. Just as ‘Buena Vista Social Club’ awakened an interest in classic Cuban son Lamento Borincano could excite a taste for impassioned Puerto Rican song of another time. It’s worth noting that the Arhoolie set sports unbelievably clean crisp sound with restoration performed by George Morrow.”
