Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Milonga madre' documents Alfredo Zitarrosa with the guitar ensemble that defined his sound, guitarists Ciro P茅rez, Nelson Olivera and Gualberto L贸pez with bassist Mario Casco, augmented on some tracks by an orchestra directed by Carlos Garc铆a. Its programme sets An铆bal Sampayo's 'Vea patr贸n' beside Rub茅n Lena's 'A Don Jos茅', two pillars of the Uruguayan song repertoire sung in Zitarrosa's grave baritone.
