Omara Portuondo- Vida
2023 release from the Cuban singer and 'Diva of Buena Social Club. At the age of 90, Omara found herself stuck in Havana due to the pandemic, and the busy lady, like everyone else, had to put the tours on hold. Known for her compassion and her sense of humanity, Omara naturally chose to express herself through music in those significant times of human history. Omara has so much love to give and with her tremendous energy, she invited lifelong friends and colleagues to participate in the long-distance project, a way to keep each other close. Omara's son, Ariel Jiménez Portuondo, who has been taking care of Omara's career and her well-being for the past two decades, organised the recordings, well knowing his mother's need of action. Ariel found the perfect artistic producer, the recently Grammy nominated Guatemalan singer- song writer, Gaby Moreno, who has a similar soft and kind personality as Omara. This album is a tribute to Omara's musical legacy.
Tracklist:
- BOLERO A LA VIDA
- SILENCIO
- LO QUE ME QUEDA POR VIVIR
- DUELE
- COMO LA CIGARRA
- ME TOCA
- SE FELIZ
- NOW
- HONRAR LA VIDA
