While she came to global prominence as the female singer on the Buena Vista Social Club album and in the film, Omara Portuondo has a career that--like the other participants--stretches back many years. She puts her experience to good use on this record, sounding for all the world like a Cuban Billie Holiday, smoky and quietly tragic, with a history of lost love. The lush arrangements, which often sound transplanted straight from 1950s Havana, frame her voice exquisitely while guests such as Ibrahim Ferrer, Compay Segundo, and Rubén González add their inimitable talents to the mix. Her reading of "The Man I Love" ("El Hombre Que Yo Ame") is also a microcosm of the disc--slightly jazzy, with a yearning vocal that's emotive without ever being overwrought. There's little doubt that Portuondo is a world-class singer, and this is the ideal showcase for her extraordinary talents. --Chris Nickson
She simply has the voice of an angel. Though it has aged, her voice is simply marvelous and breathes life. I hate to dance, but as soon as this album starts I begin doing what I like to call the "He's Definitely Not Latino" Meringue shuffle in my seat. With the accompaniment of such a great band, this album is pure gold. If your a fan of latin music, this whole series ("Buena Vista Social Club", "Cachaito" and "Buena Vista Social Club presents Ibrahim Ferrer") is for you. Even if you know nothing about latin music, you will most likely thoroughly enjoy this worldly romp. It's a delight to the senses.
