Rubén Blades - Yo Soy una Mujer (Letra Oficial)

Maestra Vida: Primera Parte (Part One) was released by Rubén Blades under Fania Records in 1980. It’s the first part of a double album Latin music opera written by Blades. It’s the fictional story of Manuela Pérez and her lover Carmelo DaSilva. Latin music historian Aurora Flores once wrote, “A tour de force, ‘Maestra Vida’ deconstructs the salsa formula of the times, creating a smooth fusion of classical, Latin music and urban mood settings while keeping time to a clave structure. Lushly orchestrated and produced by Willie Colón who fuses and focuses on various Latin music genres including samba, bossa, plena, bomba and decimas along an Afro-Cuban matrix of metered beats and sounds, ‘Maestra Vida’ goes beyond the predictably hard dance style music into a more profound reflective level of art and culture. #Ruben Blades #MaestraVida #PartI #PrimeraParte #yosoyunamujer Sígue/Follow Fania Records Facebook: https://found.ee/faniarecordsFB Instagram: https://found.ee/faniarecordsIG YouTube: https://found.ee/faniarecordsYT Twitter (X): https://found.ee/faniarecordsTwitter TikTok: https://found.ee/faniarecordsTikTok Join the Fania Newsletter: https://found.ee/fania-subscribe-newsletter-lat *About Fania Records* Fania’s master recording catalog is the definitive home for genres such as Latin big band, Afro-Cuban jazz, boogaloo, salsa and Latin R&B and includes artistic giants such as Celia Cruz, Willie Colón, Héctor Lavoe and Rubén Blades.
