Danzonete

My mother would have been 83 years old this week. She was a music-filled woman who loved to dance, and sang with a clear alto voice. We grew up hearing the danzonete - a danzón, the official dance of Cuba, with an added vocal part. She would have recognized this piano version, and would have begun swaying to its rhythm.

¡Felíz cumpleaños, mami, querida!
