– General Description: Originally from Venezuela, jazz singer Raquel Cepeda currently lives in Houston. Her multi-cultural, multi-linguistic approach to music is derived from her love for languages and Latin, Brazilian and American cultures. She has a clear, beautiful voice and excellent control of her instrument. Full and lush orchestration, with powerhouse backing musicians, this album is spot on and a pleasure to listen to again and again.

1. (4:26) Caravan (sung in English) - lively and sexy
2. (5:58) Moliendo Cafe - walking tempo, seductive song
3. (4:39) Berimbau - medium-fast w/light, berimbau-percussive intro w/voice; (berimbau: Brazilian single-string percussion instrument, a musical bow)
4. (4:45) From Afar (sung in English) - languid love song
5. (4:11) Mil Congojas (span. 1,000 griefs?) - moderate tempo, very smooth
6. (7:03) Lloraras (span. You will cry) - touching; builds in pace
7. (4:20) Dentro Dos Olhos Seus (port. Inside Your Eyes) -
8. ***(4:38) Little Gem (sung in English) - very pretty crisp, seductive singing; bandoneon (a type of concertina) tango

10. (5:33) Luz De Luna (span. Moonlight) - more delicate and graceful until cuatro (a small guitar) solo

12. (5:46) Your Return (mostly sung in English) - wispy lovely singing; relaxed
13. ***(3:57) It Don’t Mean A Thing_Quimbara - mostly a nice Cuban rumba w/fast delivery
