Rich mixtures of South America and North American soul are created by Magela Herrara, as she plays flute and sings on a mix of her compositions with standards. Her team of Tal Cohen/p, Nestor Del Prado-Dion Keith Ker/b, Hilario Bell-David Chiverton/dr, Greg Diamond/g, Jean Caze/tp and Philebrt Armenteros/bata provide rich pulsations for her warm flute on richly swinging pieces such as “Two Sidewalks” and the folksy tribal track.
Her voice is rich and honey-dewed, oozing sensuality on “Besame Mucho” and giving an calm soulful lilt with her vibrato on “My One and Only Love.” Rich and deep waters flow here.
