I
dedicate 'Alma Guajira' to my family from San José de
los Ramos, Matanzas, for it was there that I first got a taste
for the music and soul of Cuban country life, and to my mother
Estrella, who kept it alive through her stories and her love
of nature.
Thanks to all the wonderful musicians who participated in this
recording and to all who worked toward its realization.
We hope this music brings you happiness!
"...Buenisima música cubana, que se disfruta tanto
al escucharla
o bailarla, y donde lo tradicional y lo presente están
muy bien
combinados y balanceados! ¡¡Felicitaciones!! "
