An album from 2015 by this Cuban singer whose music exudes an earthy authenticity, rich in Cuban spiritual life and local cultural references. Arocena offers polish & sophistication, moving easily between stately choral formality and lightly seductive intimacy. Going full throttle, she projects a gospel power that’s led to comparisons with Aretha Franklin. Executive producer Gilles Peterson.
