"A
mi ciudad nativa - To My Native City" Art Songs of Latin America Volume II.
(2006), is a compilation of 28 songs by Latin American composers from
Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, México, Perú and
Venezuela. The importance of a recording like that which we present today
dwells not only in the fact that a number of songs are recorded here for
the first time which makes this CD an interesting development in terms of
the recorded repertory, but also in its musicological importance and in
the possibilities of disseminating this “new” repertory. CD
has a 28 page booklet with comments about the songs and the composers. It
also has the poems in the original language and with English translations.
"A Mi Ciudad Nativa is meant to complement Caicedo’s previous recording,
Lied: Art Songs of Latin America (2001).2 On the earlier disc, Caicedo
presented songs that were more familiar (at least to listeners with some
knowledge of Latin-American music), and it was recorded at a time when she
was in the early stages of her research on Latin-American art songs. This
new recording represents the broadening of her knowledge of the repertoire
through research and through the cultivation of relationships with living
twentieth-century composers or with their descendents. Reportedly she has
amassed a collection of scores for some 2,500 songs from eighteen
countries, a number that amazes even those of us who have studied
Latin-American art songs for some time."
