Music reviews of Buena Vista Social Club Presents Omara Portuondo
Music Review: Understated treasure
Rating: 5 Stars
Slightly downtempo in feeling when compared to other _Buena Vista Social Club_ CDs I know. This isn't a bad thing; Omara Portuondo's sumptuous voice is at its best when she's not in a hurry.
Aside from Omara's intoxicating singing, the instrumental arrangements on this album have a cleaner and more spare sound than on other albums in the BVSC series. The players' restraint and sensitivity match her voice perfectly. There's a great deal on this album that doesn't call attention to itself, but that's well worth the time to get to know. A profoundly satisfying work.

Title: BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB PRESEN
Street Release Date: 05/09/2000
Genre: CUBAN
While she came to global prominence as the female singer on the Buena Vista Social Club album and in the film, Omara Portuondo has a career that--like the other participants--stretches back many years. She puts her experience to good use on this record, sounding for all the world like a Cuban Billie Holiday, smoky and quietly tragic, with a history of lost love. The lush arrangements, which often sound transplanted straight from 1950s Havana, frame her voice exquisitely while guests such as Ibrahim Ferrer, Compay Segundo, and Rub?n Gonz?lez add their inimitable talents to the mix. Her reading of "The Man I Love" ("El Hombre Que Yo Ame") is also a microcosm of the disc--slightly jazzy, with a yearning vocal that's emotive without ever being overwrought. There's little doubt that Portuondo is a world-class singer, and this is the ideal showcase for her extraordinary talents. --Chris Nickson
