In Magazine AM:PM<\/i> it fills us with joy to repeat an experience that already becomes a tradition to inaugurate the year. Summon a group of journalists, music critics, music lovers in general and ask them to send us their favorite albums, those of which they could not detach in 2019, was only the starting point to form this list, which arrives today with those Essential phonograms that made us vibrate during the last 365 days. <\/p>\n
As you will notice, some of these record productions were reviewed in our magazine, which fills us with pride.<\/p>\n

Sonocardiograma<\/i><\/b>, Daym\u00e9 Arocena (<\/b>Brownswood Recordings)<\/b><\/p>\n
The spirits of the world populate all things, lively and inanimate, and very early human beings learned that no vehicle like music to communicate with them. Daym\u00e9 Arocena has become in half a decade a priestess of this communion, with her electrifying voice, with her appropriation of genres and styles of Cuban raigal, returned with a rabid news. Synthesis of all this is Sonocardiograma<\/i><\/a>, those beats in the form of songs in which the singer is escorted by a luxury band composed by Rafael Aldama on bass, Marcos Morales on drums and Jorge Luis Lagarza on piano (as well as music producer of the album ). This album sounds like a longing, a son who arrives loaded with love, a tribute to all those physical or spiritual voices that have nourished Daym\u00e9 and to which he returns all his gratitude in the form of music, how could it be otherwise.<\/p>\n
