11/15/2010. The singer presents a disc in which she sings must reference themes of the contemporary Cuban song. y: Yelanys Hernandez Fuste. From the stage an artist makes her own lyrics that have marked unforgettable singers. The images show that it’s right there where the singer and the instrumentalists around her, establish an intimate dialogue, close with the audience.
It’s Ivette Cepeda, and her music makes all those who listen to it quiver. She wanted to join in a CD DVD all the Seasons (Colibri Productions 2010). I heard about the album this week when somebody invited me to its presentation.
I must admit that I didn't know of Cepeda until that day. However, her way of singing and the way she makes the songs hers, captured all my attention, because when you listen to her you remember great female voices within the national song.
In her CD, Ivette was helped by the outstanding musician Rafael Guedes in the musical production. She also invited members of the orchestra Soloists of Havana and the Quartet of Horns, and as special guests Kiki Corona with his interpretation of the cuatro of Venezuela in Verano, of Benito de la Fuente; and Orlando Vistel who played the piano in Para vivir (of Pablo Milanes) and the song written by her If I Had Known.
On the other hand, the experienced Lester Hamlet was in charge of recording the concert given on November 8 and 9, 2009 that Ivette offered with the songs included in the album, at the theater hall at the National Museum of Fine Arts.
You are the music I must sing, of Tony Pinelly; By my side, of Pablo Milanes; The sun doesn't give up drinking, of Silvio Rodriguez; I will remember, of Donato Poveda; Absences, of Liuba Maria Hevia; What’s more, I forgive you, of Noel Nicola, and many others until reaching 17, appear in a well thought album.
Seasons appears in the contemporary record work as a production that defends the Cuban song and at the same time shows how diverse it can be that style within our sound panorama.
