Lo Mejor de Edmundo Rivero.

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I bought this CD from Amazon.com a couple of years ago. I like Edmundo Rivero very much and I know his tangos since I was very young. The title "Lo Mejor de Edmundo Rivero" is probably confusing because any choice of songs is going to be subjective. There are very good songs there, such as "El Ciruja", "Canchero" and others that I like very much. May be they are not "The Best" but they are very good according obviously to me. I resent that the only review existing for this CD in Amazon.com gives 1 star only because it doesn't carry "Cambalache". I think everybody should check the track list before buying a CD. Now, it must be taken into consideration that "tangos" are popular in certain cultures only and in Spanish language with the inclusion of a dialect popular in Argentina called "lunfardo" which makes understanding the lyrics difficult for non-argentinians. Tango is something like an acquired taste. I gave a four stars to this CD because it may not be for everybody "The Best..." but if you like Edmundo Rivero it's a very good one."
