5 out of 5 stars The only cd of a legendary cuban singer.......2001-11-19

In Cabrera Infantes's very good romance "Tres tristes tigres" she is called Estrella Rodrigues - an enormously fat black woman with an ugly face and a strange personality. Her real name was Fredesvinda Garcia, or Freddy. After sometime as an rebel and amateur torch songs' singer in Havana's last years before Fidel Castro, she finally recorded this unique album and died in Mexico one year after, in 1961. That's why she's so unknown in our days. The arrangements are commercial and cheap, but her contralto voice magnificent, a mixture of Big Mamma Thornton, Elvira Rios and Virginia Rodrigues. So are the songs. A cult singer for connaisseurs. Bravo!

5 out of 5 stars An amazing voice.......1999-07-19

One of the most original voice in the bolero style. Freddy has a very powerful contralto voice filled with feeling and an awsome sense of harmony, She uses a los of 9ths and flat fifths to ormament clasic boleros like Besame Mucho or Noche de Ronda. If like good voices and classic boleros this CD it's a must. Besides the orchestra is excellent, very tight and powerful sound.
