Although Compay Segundo will ever be remembered as one of the great characters of Buena Vista Social Club, that was only one tiny part of his career. Gracias Compay: The Definitive Collection captures some of the great songs from the second wind of his career, when he'd become an international star again. Inevitably, there's his signature song, "Chan Chan," in not one but two versions, but it's simply one of many diamonds here, like "Saludo A Chango," where he duets with rai star Khalèd, and comes out ahead with his laid-back style. That style, however, was typical of the music of Santiago, and it permeated everything Segundo did. The harmonies on the chorus, the singing lines on the tres (or at times on Segundo's own armonico, a cross between a tres and a guitar), and the stripped-down backing of bass and percussion -- his music was just redolent of the area, and it can be heard in his very affecting "Guantanamera," or the recent "Oui Parle Francais." A witty, eloquent writer, he composed more than his share of classics in a long career, and many of them are here, songs like "Saradonga," given definitive performances. And that helps this album really live up to its name. ---Chris Nickson, Rovi

Born Francisco Repilado near Santiago in 1907, Segundo took his first name from a slang term for “pal,” which fit his exuberant personality. The singer/guitarist, always sporting his trademark Panama hat, spun a career that spanned parts of nine decades. A pre-revolution legend in Cuba, Segundo inked numerous compositions and invented his own instrument, a variation on the guitar and tres, a native Cuban instrument. Due to U.S./Cuba travel and trade embargo, Segundo’s name was virtually unknown in the United States, and for a brief time he took up work as a cigar roller, before he was rediscovered by Ry Cooder, who compiled the Buena Vista Social Club album.

Tracks 2-1, 2-4, 2-5, 2-7, 2-11 & 2-13 were recorded @ Palacio de Exposiciones y Congreso, Madrid (Spain) 26/06/1999
Tracks 2-2, 2-3, 2-6, 2-8, 2-9, 2-10 and 2-12 to 2-15 were recorded @ L'Olympia de Paris (France) 24 & 25 April 1998. 

Legendary Cuban guitarist Compay Segundo was born in 1907; collaborating with the likes of Sindo Garay, Miguel Matamoros and Benny Moré, he emerged as one of the most respected musicians of the pre-revolution era, and in the late '20s invented the armónico, a guitar customized with a double third string to fuse the tonal qualities of the traditional Cuban tres guitar and its Spanish counterpart. Following Fidel Castro's rise to power, Segundo worked as a cigar roller before returning to music during the late '80s; in his early nineties he attracted worldwide attention in 1998 for his contributions to Ry Cooder's wildly successful Buena Vista Social Club album, issuing the solo Calle Salud the following year. Buena Vista Connection was issued in fall 2000. Flores de la Vida followed later that same year; Trova Cubana surfaced in early 2001. The torrent of releases, both new and reissues of classic pre-fame Segundo sessions, continued throughout 2001 with Yo Vengo Aqui, Que Lio Compay Andres and into 2002 with Yo Soy del Monte and Dos Leyendas de Cuba. On July 13 of the following year Compay Segundo died of kidney failure at his home in Havana. ---Jason Ankeny, allmusic.com
