| | Polo Montañez : Memoria - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | For the fans all around the world who had only just gotten their hands on Guitarra Mía, Montañez's second release, the news that there would be a posthumous album made up almost entirely of previously unrecorded material counted for small consolation, at least. |
 | | Indeed, Memoria, as that collection was eventually called, offers up more of the high-spirited, big-hearted, and eminently danceable guajiro (Cuban country) tunes that won the former farm worker so much acclaim from the start. |
 | | But for those previously acquainted with his music, it can't help but be tinged with melancholy of the day-the-music-died variety. |
