An uplifting, entertaining, intimate profile of the grande dame of Cuban music, Omara Portuondo, the internationally beloved songstress best known in the U.S. as a member of the famed Buena Vista Social Club.
At the age of 89, Cuba’s national treasure, Afro-Cuban music icon Omara Portuondo defies age-ist expectations and tours the world. For eight decades Omara was a trailblazer – a single mother surviving racism, misogyny and revolution. The songs she sings convey the feelings and the experiences that defined her life as a trailblazer who has inspired generations of women of color to follow in her footsteps.
