On Palabras, Omara Portuondo sings Cuban classics, written by such well-known composers as Arsenio Rodráguez, Sindo Garay, Jaime Prats, Jose Antonio Méndez, Marta Valdés, Nico Rojas, Bola de Nieve, Martán Rojas, and Juan Formell. This wonderful recording is appropriately entitled, as it highlights the words of the songs, and showcases the unique beauty of Portuondo's renowned voice. This recording was made just prior to the now famous 'Buena Vista Social Club' project of which Omara was the only female member.
