(5 out of 5 stars)

""Viva Arsenio" was a compilation that up until now,was one of the hardest to find of several stateside, New York City, recordings by the great late cuban composer and musician Arsenio Rodriguez, a.k.a. "El Ciego Maravilloso" ("The Marvelous Blindman") as he was and is still called. "Viva Arsenio" was probably the last or one of the last recordings Arsenio Rodriguez made here in New York City before relocating to Los Angeles or Southern California, where he died during the early 1970's. This recording like all the ones he made throughout his entire career is like a uniquely rare, high quality vintage wine. The reproduction of the original album artwork and its color photograph of Arsenio are also unique, just like the album contents, which I am sure you will enjoy. Do not miss this long overdue but enlightened re-issue of this rare, but not forgotten recording by Cuba's maestro and foremost tres and guitar player, the late Arsenio Rodriguez."
