Jiménez, Andrés - Nueva Trova
Born in Orocovis, Puerto Rico, Jiménez is known as "El Jíbaro" and for his recordings
with ardent patriotic and nationalistic themes. Typical of these is
La Estrella Sola.
His songs cover the whole spectrum of musical genres
from décimas and
plenas to ballads and
guaguancó,
salsa and
Nueva Trova.
Given the intensifying protests in Puerto Rico and around the world over the US Navy use of Vieques,
an island that is part of Puerto Rico, for military exercises and live bombing,
it is not surprising that Jiménez would devote his talents to a song
such as
Son de Vieques
in protest. The song was one of many that were incuded in the Son de Vieques
album he produced along with Ismael Miranda in 2001.
