O’s Notes: Columbian vocalist Xiomara Torres grew up in Guapi with a family that immersed her in music, an art form that transcends across cultures and boundaries. She gets support from a large group of musicians including Dan Neville (vibes), Wayne Wallace (tb) and many talented Colombians. We liked “Te Habla Mi Alma”, “Como suns Hoguera” and “Let It Be” in a session that showcases Torres bathing her vocals around the precise, symphonic large ensemble.
