Great female voices with plenty of talent who venture into various genres and musical groups have the island of Cuba. From Chalía Herrera, the first Cuban woman who left her voice on a phonographic record, going through troubadours, songwriters, soneras, guaracheras, so many that it would be endless to name them. One of those voices with a warm timbre, sustained over time, symbolizes Cuban music in the world: Omara Portuondo.
In an interview conducted by the author in 1992, Omara (Havana, October 29, 1930) narrates the trajectory of her career as a singer and dancer, she has joined multiple renowned musical groups and different formats such as the Las D’Aida quartet and the Buena Social Club view. Her career continues, now in her 90s, with record projects and artistic collaborations.
