Customer reviews of Flor de Amor
|
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Warm, jazzy vocals
Comment: Â Warm, jazzy vocals by Omara Portuondo imbed FLOR DE AMOR with a powerful bossa nova and easy listening Latin beat.
 These are lovely pieces brought to life by Omara Portoundo's voice: delicate in style, here tinged lightly with a horn interlude; there with soft supper club crooning.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Every track a gem
Comment: I've been carrying this CD from my car to the house (and back again) for the last 3 weeks. The backup singers will seduce you. Most noticeable is the sound of the instrumentalists, and in particular the delicate nuances they afford and, in general, how INCREDIBLY GOOD it all sounds together. If one is to assume that artist's albums are supposed to improve, in general, over time, then this is in my opinion Mme Portuondo's best to date. This is the sort of album that makes you say (even so soon after its release)
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Definite Grammy Nominee
Comment: Omara Portuondo's voice would make any song sound good. What this CD lacks in guest stars, Omara makes up for it with some great classic Cuban songs and brazilian influenced arrangements. She even sings the last track partly in Portuguese. As with all these Cuban albums recorded in the EGREM studios, there is a unique sound the old studio environment leaves on the recorded works. This is a great album by the only woman of the Buena Vista Social Club, not too many members are left, enjoy this CD from one of the survivors.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Flor de Amor (Flower of Love) is the second solo album for World Circuit by Cuba's leading female vocalist and Buena Vista Social Club star, Omara Portuondo. The best-selling solo artist of the Buena Vista collective next to Ibrahim Ferrer, Omara's debut in 2000 went to the top of the world music sales and airplay charts, and sparked two U.S. tours. This time out, her heartfelt vocals on a collection of musical love letters are backed by a combination of Cuban and Brazilian influences, giving the album a distinctive style. Recorded in Havana's Egrem Studios, the richly textured sound reveals the warmth and pathos familiar to fans of the singer, who traverses a varied set of Cuban songs.
