Her eloquent compositions and pure and expressive vocals are enriched by a 27-piece orchestra in a unique meeting of classical and Afro-Venezuelan sounds that is genuinely thrilling. This is a work that can appeal equally to both classical and Latin music lovers with open ears receptive to a fresh sound executed with finesse and emotional power. \"We also wanted to make a point of choosing songs that accentuate Afro-Venezuelan rhythms,\" adds Jeremy. \"To combine those with the European classical format has, as far as we know, never been done before. Eliana has consistently wanted to show people the cultural richness of her country.\" \u003cp\u003e The first single from Seré Libre is \"Como Llora Una Estrella,\" a much-loved traditional Venezuelan number that a young Eliana used to play with her grandfather. She recorded it with Aquiles Baez on El Curruchá, and it is now given vivid new life by the Angel Falls Orchestra. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The cornerstone song of Seré Libre is the title track. Translated as \"I shall be free,\" it is a nine-minute epic journey that showcases the musical reach of the orchestra and Eliana's passionate performance. \"That is a song I always dedicate to Venezuela,\" says Cuevas, alluding to the troubled state of her homeland, \"but it can be interpreted as being about finding freedom from whatever is holding you back.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Sere Libre is the seventh entry in Eliana Cuevas's eclectic discography, one that has brought her wins at the National Jazz Awards, Toronto Independent Music Awards, and the Independent Music Awards in the US. Her boldest artistic statement to date, it deserves your close attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Track Listing:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Seré Libre\u003cbr\u003e Como Llora una Estrella\u003cbr\u003e Caballo Viejo\u003cbr\u003e Lamento\u003cbr\u003e El Manantial\u003cbr\u003e Nacerá \u003cbr\u003e Llegó\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e REVIEW \u003cbr\u003e The Venezuelan-born, Toronto-based Cuevas melds pop, jazz and South American folk music into an exceptionally enticing sound.
