The Peruvian diva explores more of her Afro-Peruvian roots with this release which includes poems set to music (including works by Neruda & Scorza), a duet with Gilberto Gil, and some traditional Peruvian folk tunes. She has a warm, slightly husky voice, an emotional, jazzy style, and a strong acoustic band. Nice strings, especially. It’s all low key and sweet, but very, very good. Lyrics in Spanish, French, and English. 1. Lightly driving, mid/uptempo w/sweet strings/accordion. *2. Sweet, downtempo duet w/Gilberto Gil. Strings, a hint of jazz. *3. Mid/up, driving Neruda poem w/chorus, strings/perc. Cool. 4. Slow, gentle, delicate w/a sad feeling. Pretty. *5. Starts relaxed, picks up energy. Mostly mid/chorus, cool guitar 6. Delicate&simple blend of vox/guitar at first. Picks up. 7. Slow & romantic. Strings, vocals, very gentle & warm. *8. Soft love song w/fragile vocals, soft accents from band. Sigh… 9. Soft & gentle broken heart song. *10. Updated folksong w/a hint of darkness. Down/midtempo. *11. A lazy, lightly jazzy love song. Gentle, evocative, so good. *12. Bright, lightly bouncy folk song w/nice strings/vox/claps. | ||
