The letter of introduction of one musician to another will always be her art and the emotion she projects. Approaching the sounds of Amanda Cepero without knowing her artistic trajectory has been a challenge and a tremendous joy. There are several reasons: first, she arrived recommended by two women whom I admire very much; second, my listening experience was not constant as in other cases, but it was attentive and enjoyed in each of the songs that I was crumbling sonorously in my itinerant travels. Therefore, this review is intended to be an atypical approach (different from my previous texts), without links, without apparently shared stories, without much information. Just the context, the music and me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sounds <\/span>Just Be<\/span><\/i> as I write these lines. I'm lost when I listen to the song because of the rhythm that outlines it and I can't think of any way to tell what I feel. I was checking her Instagram while this bossa nova was playing, I started to follow her, then she did the same (<\/span>wow<\/span><\/i>things happen). I get closer to her day by day, I discover that in her last years in Cuba she shared the stage with the troubadour Ariel D\u00edaz, and this is how she is remembered by people who were at that concert in Casa de las Am\u00e9ricas on March 14, 2002, when she made her debut as a singer at the age of 17, and where the duo Karma was also present.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I read several texts and it jumps <\/span>Unplugged<\/span><\/i>a project based in Spain that seeks to support and make visible the work of women in the creative industries and also accompanies Amanda in the path of the album before its release, in September 2022, as a publishing label. I keep discovering the artist, because contrary to what I said at the beginning, everything happens for a reason, and to talk about such a complete production as it is <\/span>Sentimental Song<\/span><\/i> you can't just listen, sing and write.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let's get down to business.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amanda Cepero is a multifaceted Cuban artist, singer, composer and actress, who has a lot to tell in her career in Cuba and around the world. Her latest album is intended to be her debut as a composer, although she shares in it the interpretation of songs such as <\/span>Wait for second <\/span><\/i>by singer-songwriter Pedrito Berit\u00e1n, and the <\/span>Guaguanc\u00f3 so you don't cry <\/span><\/i>by Tito Junco Mart\u00ednez, accompanied by the voice of his mother Coralia Rodr\u00edguez.<\/span>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The album highlights the work achieved with the musicians that make up the production. The musical arrangements are very good <\/span>\u2014<\/span>in the hands of Lino Lores<\/span>\u2014<\/span>The work with the orchestration and the level and natural timbres add freshness to the themes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
