Hermosa Ofelia, Fajardo Y Sus Estrellas' latest album, is a masterpiece of Latin American music. The album is a tribute to the legendary Cuban composer and pianist, Ernesto Lecuona, and features some of his most iconic pieces, such as "Siboney," "La Comparsa," and "Malagueña."
The album is a delightful blend of Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Latin American rhythms, with Fajardo's flute leading the way. The arrangements are intricate and sophisticated, showcasing the virtuosity of the musicians, and the production is flawless, capturing the warmth and energy of the live performances.
The highlight of the album is undoubtedly the title track, "Hermosa Ofelia," a beautiful bolero that showcases Fajardo's tender and expressive flute playing. The song is a tribute to Lecuona's sister, Ofelia, who was a renowned singer and actress in Cuba.
