Dancing in Latin America - Vol. 1

Return to Discography

DANCING IN LATIN AMERICA

Dancing in Latin America expresses Awilda Villarini’s love and admiration for Latin American music and culture. As part of her heritage, Ms. Villarini performs this music with passion and poetry. The complex rhythms and syncopations are second nature to her. At times, it sounds like two pianists interpreting the difficult technical passages. In the lyrical passages, the piano sings with a beautiful, warm sound. It is the work of a virtuoso, romantic pianist who understands and feels this music.

ABOUT THE MUSIC

This recording includes five tangos by Piazzolla, two of the popular Afro-Cuban Dances by Lecuona and a collage of Puerto Rican Danzas by Morel Campos, Mislán, Pedreira and Otero. As a bonus track, she includes a preview of the repertoire to be included in the second volume, the Bomba from her Suite Portoricinses.
