"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."  by Jonathan Kulp publish at the Latin American Music Review, 2006 Complete Review
