 Remembering Rafael Hernández - compositor de música puertorriqueño - TA: Puerto Rican music composer Latin Beat ...
According to his sister Victoria, the melodies and lyrics were a reflection of his moods at the time he composed them.
Hernández's melodic phrases and lyrics arose from the heart of a lonely man separated from his beloved and could only satisfy his pangs of love through the guitar he held in his left arm while the fingers of his right hand searched the strings for the notes.
The lyrics to the tune he composed that day suggest Hernández was hopelessly in love with an island in the Caribbean, its scenery, its folkways and all the abstract and intangibles of Puerto Rico, impossible to experience in East Harlem.

From the pen of Pedro Flores, his early love-lost lyrics -- a series of aching, mostly one-word hits such as "Despedida," "Obsesión," "Irresistible," "Perdón," "Venganza" -- influenced author Gabriel García Márquez as much as other singers, while his later, patriotic material riled American intelligence officers and inspired Fidel Castro's Cuban Revolution.
He began recording and writing patriotic material, working in conjunction with Pedro Ortiz Dávila on "Los Patriotas." Beginning in 1946, he spent much time performing in Cuba and was inspired to write dozens of songs, one of which ("Sierra Maestra") was broadcast by Castro during the Movimiento 26 de Julio.

 Slipcue.com Cuban Music Guide - Record Reviews, Letter "F"
Nice-sounding acoustic music with a political edge, from Cuban dissident Pedro Luis Ferrer (who I'm told has been banned from Cuban TV for several years, and releases records outside of the country...) This combines the popular changui style with less familiar modes from Central Cuba, where Ferrer hails from.
The tres guitar playing is quite nice and typically seductive, although the female vocals by Lena Ferrer (presumably his daughter?) are more folkie, in the protest-song tradition of the Cuban trova, and seem at odds with the elegance of Papa Ferrer's skillful guitar work.
The format and style are the same as the other artists, but the execution is a little sluggish, particularly in the rhythm, and the players often seem to have trouble melding their performances.
