Alejandra Fierro Eleta “Gladys Palmera” is a personality of the Ibero-American musical culture. Her online radio station Radio Gladys Palmera is one of the best music platforms that exist, and she is the owner of one of the largest Afro-Cuban music collection in the world. This selection of five of her jewels represents her style and knowledge.
Tino Contreras
Fiebre de Amor
«What a great musician Tino Contreras was! And how difficult to choose a single song, especially because in them it mixes feeling, chua-chua and an unstoppable swing.»
Frank Hernández
Mal Camino
«After a long season in New York with jazz greats, Frank Hernández returned to Caracas and made a series of jewelry for the RCA. This is one of them.»
Julio Gutiérrez
El Son Cubano
«Julio Gutiérrez is one of my favorite musicians. This album was a declaration of love to Havana, after his first four years of living in exile.»
Don Cunningham Quartet
I’m Your Slave
«Very few recorded Don Cunningham, more dedicated to entertain the nights of the Playboy Club than to the recording studios. It is a rare avis.»
The Guantanamo Boys
Let’s Dance the Bugalú
«Gabriel Oller, owner of the SMC label, did not usually make covers. And I am a great lover of them, but their music is so good that it deserves an exception.»
