• One of the most emblematic voices of Cuba, Omara Portuondo was baptized “la novia del feeling” for her capacity to give each song its precise sentiment. This CD reunites her greatest hits, recorded in Havana, Cuba, between 1967 and 1997 - accompanied by some of the most important figures of Cuban music.

• Personnel : Omara Portuondo, vocals, with : Manuel “El Guajiro” Mirabal (trumpet), Jesús Ramos “Aguaje” (trombone), Martín Rojas (guitar), Rubén González (piano), Orlando “Cachaito” López (bass), Amadito Valdés (timbales), Hernán Cortés (congas), Efraín Ríos (tres) and Carlos F. Averhoff (saxophones) - and guests : Pío Leyva, Manuel Licea “Puntillita”, Pedro Rivera, Teresa García Caturla, Elena Burke & Raquel Zozaya.

• Son Records CDs have been digitised directly from the original masters. These CD editions also boast 12-page comprehensive booklets featuring previously unissued photos and texts in both English and French, written by important Cuban musicologists and journalists. Total Time: 72:06 - 20 tracks.
