Product Description
Contents Introduction A collection of masterful performances by the "Queen of Sentimiento," featuring her representative repertoire sung with a variety of partners! Elena Burque (1928-2002), known as the "Queen of Sentimiento" for her modern interpretations of Cuban popular music such as fil?n and bolero, was a worthy rival of Omara Portuondo. This album, released by Take Off in 1994, was the first to properly introduce her charm to Japan. This album mainly features re-recordings of her important repertoire that she has performed for many years, along with several tracks picked from other recordings made around the same time. Important Cuban groups and musicians such as the top charanga orchestra Orquesta Aragon, the Enrique Jor?n Orchestra, and Frank Dominguez collaborate, and Omara Portuondo and Moraima Secada, her colleagues from the Da?da era, also make guest appearances. Lyrics included. Includes Japanese commentary and obi strip. Media reviews and more. A collection of masterful performances by the "Queen of Sentimiento," featuring her representative repertoire with a variety of partners. (C)RS
