On Xiomara, this superb vocalist fuses the essence of Cuba, with its rhythmic folks songs, to a sophisticated, contemporary sound, buoyed by the participation of her Yerba Buena colleagues such as Andres Levin and Descemer Bueno. Levin (Macy Grey, Meshell N'degeocello, D'Angelo) produced the ten tracks on Xiomara that were arranged collectively by Levin, Xiomara, Octavio Kotan, Axel Tosca, and Pedro Martinez. | |
