“Oguere”, by Omara Portuondo (Cuba, 1959)

Heard this song in an episode of the Netflix series “Narcos”, and was immediately pulled in by the Exotica vibe. Apparently recorded in 1959 for Portuondo’s debut album “Magia Negra”. Now I can’t stop listening to it. Enjoy.

Wow, from the 1st percussion notes, I knew this would be a hit. Thanks for sharing! Beautiful.

oh wow, I remember Omara Portuondo from when the Buena Vista Social Club revived her career. She had a great comeback album, but don't think I heard too many of her oldies. This is indeed wonderful. Mahalo!
