Lagrimas Negras: Canciones Y Boleros
Omara Portuondo
Released:
Aug 2005
Label:
Yemaya Records
Easy, classy takes on great romantic songs of the Latin American canon. Portuondo is getting on in years and her voice isn't what it was, but what she loses in power she makes up for in expression. That's not to say she over-sings -- Portuondo is too good to lapse into drama just for the sake of it. Her take on a song such as "Te Queria" is restrained but deeply felt, and the tasteful guitar, piano and horns that float through the release stand respectfully behind her.
