"Nydia Caro, one of the singers from Puerto Rico leaving her trademark of beautiful songs "en el tiempo". Although this is not a greatest hits compilation it portrays some of her best ever. I remember watching "El show de Nydia Caro" every sunday night back in the day. Nydia has a different style, her songs are like poetry and she sings every note from the bottom of her heart. The instrumentation is breathtaking especially the flute played in many of her songs like "Duerme", "Me va, me va", "Cuentale" and "Un pueblo es". Classics like "Tu como estas", "Para vivir" and" Antonio" sound like new throught the magic of digital technology. I hope this is just the begining and we'll see all of her records released in CD. After all, Nydia deserve to be perpetuated for the delight of her many fans around the world."
The past never sounded better.......true timeless classics!!

"Nydia Caro is THE perfect artist......her voice is smooth and silky, her beauty is flawless, her style is almost mystical yet naturally sensual, her respect for her audiences is a blessing, and her presence fills the space with radiance. The songs herein presented gave the 70's and 80's a touch of class, elegance and romanticism. It also proved that, that period of time defined the golden age of latin pop, thanks in great part to Nydia Caro and her outstanding talent."
Finally some of her 70's and 80's songs are released in cd!

"After performing some of her early hits in a superb concert at the Luis A. Ferre Center Of Performing Arts in Puerto Rico, titled as this reissue cd, finally we got part of the beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!! Nydia Caro's early recordings in digital format. Thanks to the record company for releasing this cd and I hope they reissue all her Alhambra catalog in cd ( maybe as a 2x1 series). This cd should be rated with unlimited number of stars."

"This is a beautiful CD especially for folks that used to watch Nydia when she first started in "el show de las 12" in our beautiful island of Puerto Rico. She was a big hit and I am oh so happy to see that we are still able to get her music. Her stuff should sell! How about Chuco Avellanet ... you guys would make great $$$ if you had more of his music............Thanks for letting me share this."
Beautiful songbird sings some of her old timeless classics.

"To talk and write about Nydia Caro is to talk and write about class, beauty, talent, and a heartful voice. This CD contains some of her best work in the decade of the 70's and 80's. But, don't be fooled, these songs are timeless, classic that would fit on today radio waves. What a pleasure is to hear "No pudo ser" on a cd, how clear, how sweet, how pure her voice sounds. In "Antonio" you can almost hear the waves of the ocean, so meaningful and convincing Nydia Caro is singing a ballad. In "Para Vivir" both her voice and the piano seem to come from her heart. In the dance tracks, she sounds fun, light, and still enchanting. This CD contains some of her best, but not all of them, one misses so many songs: "Me Gustas Cuando Callas", "La Novia Triste", "Amigo Despierta","La Separada", "Vendra", "Alguien", "Quiero Bailar" and many, many more. One hopes,wishes, and prays that her whole Alhambra years would be released on CD. Her Rodven records are already on CD, adequately called "Oro Romantico".Nydia Caro has the talent to create an intimate and beautiful atmosphere when she sings, this is achieved when one listens to this CD. Her beauty, voice, charisma and talent are displayed here ... "en el tiempo"; however, her songs, as her beauty ,seem to be ageless and timeless. Thank you, Nydia, this millenium started the right way!"
