It’s best to paraphrase Chabuca when she said, “I always go back to my country, because one has to go backto the source”."

In this compilation of Chabuca Granda’s most beautiful songs, Cecilia has attempted precisely this: To return to the source, to her roots! Beyond Chabuca’s universal appeal and the use of brazilian and jazz harmonies, you can always find our roots in her songs and poetry lyrics dedicated to the people of her homeland, styled by the rhythms of our coast.

Chabuca the adventurer was also Chabuca breaking myths and conventions, as she sang popular songs on the radio. Chabuca syncopating the three quarter time of a waltz. Chabuca betting on the popular culture of all Latin America with the same love and fervor she felt for her homeland. Chabuca is alive!! And forever at every crossing, asking us to awaken from the dream that entertains us. Chabuca lives! As long as someone sings her beautiful songs.

These songs were all written by Chabuca Granda, except for the music of “El Grito Hundido”, composed by Cecilia Alessandra.
