RELEASE: JULY 14th, 2023!!! "VIDA" is the latest album release by Omara Portuondo, the grand Cuban Lady of Feeling. In 1997, at the age of 67, Omara became The Diva of Buena Vista Social Club. At the age of 90, Omara found her self stuck in Havana due to the pandemic 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. She invited life long friends and colleagues to participate in a long distance project, a way to keep each other close. Omara's son, Ariel Jimenez Portuondo organised the recordings. This album is a tribute to Omara's musical legacy. On "VIDA" Omara sings together with a stellar line up of legendary singers. Anyone who has loved Cuban and Latin music of the last 50 years will recognise the beauty of the timeless songs. "VIDA" reflects Omara's thoughts and feelings during this heavy period, as well as being a general homage to life.
