Raices (or Roots) (1979) is an album by Uruguyian singer/songwriter Jose Barroso. Unlike his follow up album Songs of the Latin American People (1986) (which sees Barroso at his most dynamic and experimental), Raices is, by stark contrast, a very quiet album. Relying mostly on Barroso's powerful voice and impressive acoustic guitar chops. It could be described as the Uruguayan equivalent to a Nick Drake album. However, it is by no means as emotionally wrenching as that would suggest. It is more the sound of a young songwriter learing his trade.
