EGREM (cover art: Gabriela Seiser; design: Victor Manuel Navarrete), "Silvio Rodríguez: Rabo de Nube, Volumen I," 1979. Vinyl LP

"Rabo de Nube" (Cloud's Tail) Volume I, released by EGREM in 1979 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the triumph of the Cuban Revolution, represents a landmark recording by Silvio Rodríguez, one of the founders of Cuba's nueva trova movement. The album features elaborate mosaic-style cover artwork by Gabriela Seiser with design by Victor Manuel Navarrete. The front cover presents a dramatic volcanic eruption rendered in vibrant orange and red tesserae against a dark background, with lightning bolts streaking across the left side and a cream-colored cloud formation at the top containing scattered imagery suggesting musical instruments and revolutionary symbols. The back cover depicts a pastoral landscape with a hillside village featuring small houses in red and yellow, stylized trees, and a whimsical face formed within the rolling hills rendered in blue-green mosaic tiles, creating a dreamlike quality characteristic of Rodríguez's poetic sensibility.

Produced by Rodríguez himself with artistic advisor Frank Fernández and sound engineer Jerry Belo, the album includes songs such as "Vamos a Andar," "Rabo de Nube," "El Día Feliz Que Está Llegando," "Te Amare y Después," and "Fábula de Los Tres Hermanos" on Side A, and "Que Ya Viví, Que Te Vas," "Con Diez Años de Menos," "Imagínate," and "Testamento" on Side B. Musicians include Norberto Carrillo, Yanela Loipa, Frank Fernández, Anabell López, Alina Neira, and Pablo Menéndez among others. Silvio Rodríguez emerged as one of Cuba's most important cultural voices, blending poetic lyricism with political commitment in songs that became anthems of the revolutionary generation while achieving international recognition throughout Latin America and beyond.
