I really like the way Silvio Rodriguez keeps it pure, keeps it simple, zachsd. Is that why you place him in the same ranks as Neil Young ?
Funny, now that you mention it I just realized that I've always liked simple, almost pure sounding music. I can see how Silvio Rodriguez, Neil Young, Townes van Zandt, and Nick Drake would all fit into this category. This tendency is probably true for a lot of people though.

Oh, and another great Cuban, folky tune, although you guys are probably all aware of it:



If I remember correctly, this song is a pretty good representation of the traditional Trova movement in Cuba, as opposed to the Nueva Trova, which Silvio is famous for.
