Some musicians seem born to fuse the mind and body of a people. Sometimes, they die too young. Then their songs follows those who survive them with an inconsolable pleasure. Fernando Borrego Linares, aka Polo Montañez (Polo of the Mountains), died after a night road accident in November 2002. His first album Guajiro Natural (Natural Peasant) was released in 2000 and his second Guitarra Mia (You My Guitar) in 2002.
