EN EL MAR is an album produced by Maikel Vistel and performed by award-winning musicians and singers, including Omara Portuondo, Daymé Arocena and Alaín Pérez.
It is in music that we find joy and solace, just as we do in the ocean around us. Music, singing and our shared identity created a place in which to work. The songs, the rhythm and the memories provided a way to move forward.
We recorded ALL the instruments at the same time, with microphones set up like in the 1950’s to give fidelity to that big band sound.
