This composition, tributed to a un cuban poet is also focused on the vocal expressive of Reina. The progressive tonalities, the crescendi, the numerous variations of tempi, the evolving timbres, the modulations of pronunciation, the differences of loudness, of proximity, led to a scenic drama that I’ve recovered in my mind.
So the voice goes from intimacy to a furious expression.
