Search - Polo Montanez :: Guajiro Natural / Guitarra Mia

Polo Montañez (June 5, 1955 - November 26, 2002) was a much revered Cuban singer and songwriter. ''...Polo composes while he's walking or driving a tractor, while he's swimming, under the rain, the sun or the moon, when he's seeding the land... and even when he's sleeping''. From the booklet from his first album. Some musicians seem born to fuse the mind and body of a people. Sometimes, they die too young. Then their songs follows those who survive them with an inconsolable pleasure. Fernando Borrego Linares, aka Polo Montañez (Polo of the Mountains), died after a night road accident in November 2002. His first album Guajiro Natural (Natural Peasant) was released in 2000 and his second Guitarra Mia (You My Guitar) in 2002. Here gathered in a special 2 CD edition.
