Welcome to another installment of Newness Cubayour weekly dose of Cuban music fresh from the oven. As in every edition, we bring you a new selection of 10 songs you can't miss.
We begin with a tribute from the iconic Omara Portuondo, who together with the Failde Orchestra gives us a moving version of La Lloronaa classic of the Mexican songbook that takes on new life in her unmistakable voice. We continue with Beach NightThe track, an international collaboration between Cimafunk, Michaël Brun and Keyon Harrold, fuses Afro-Cuban and Haitian rhythms with the Pinareño's usual touch of funk.

In his new album, Lukmil Perez joins jazz legends such as Chucho Valdés, Irving Acao, Raynald Colom and Felipe Cabrera on Alle Nenguea virtuoso piece that celebrates the island's musical richness. Wampi, on the other hand, captivates us with a EP of acoustic versions, of which we emphasize My Weaknessshowcasing his talent as a producer in an intimate and minimalist format.
