Free Music Review: Warm, jazzy vocals
Hit: 5 Stars
?Warm, jazzy vocals by Omara Portuondo imbed FLOR DE AMOR with a powerful bossa nova and easy listening Latin beat.
?These are lovely pieces brought to life by Omara Portoundo's voice: delicate in style, here tinged lightly with a horn interlude; there with soft supper club crooning.
Flor de Amor Poster
The septuagenarian Cuban singer Omara Portundo is the lone female crooner of the famed Buena Vista Social Club. But in the 1940s and '50s, she was the velvet voice of the jazz/bossa nova inspired genre known as filin. On her second solo CD, which translates as "Flower of Love," Portundo leads an assembly of Cuban and Brazilian musicians, featuring her Buena Vista bandmates, singer Ibrahim Ferrer and bassist Orlando Cachaito Lopez. The Congolese guitar whiz Papi Oviedo, plays the Cuban tres on "Amor de Mis Amores," "Habanera Ven," "Amorosa Guajira," and the title track. Portundo's poetic pipes sweeten these Latin ballads, from the afro anthemed "Tabu," to "Casa Color," a new song penned for her by Brazil's Carlinhos Brown. Sonically seasoned with strings, woodwinds, guitars, and background vocals, Portundo's "musical love letters" are postmarked with five decades of Afro-Cuban artistry. --Eugene Holley, Jr.Flor de Amor (Flower of Love) is the second solo album for World Circuit by Cuba's leading female vocalist and Buena Vista Social Club star, Omara Portuondo. The best-selling solo artist of the Buena Vista collective next to Ibrahim Ferrer, Omara's debut in 2000 went to the top of the world music sales and airplay charts, and sparked two U.S. tours. This time out, her heartfelt vocals on a collection of musical love letters are backed by a combination of Cuban and Brazilian influences, giving the album a distinctive style. Recorded in Havana's Egrem Studios, the richly textured sound reveals the warmth and pathos familiar to fans of the singer, who traverses a varied set of Cuban songs.
2004 album from the world renowned Cuban songstress of Buena Vista Social Club fame. A must-buy for the countless fans of Ry Cooder, Ruben Gonzales, & Ibrahim Ferrer. World Circuit.
