O’s Notes: Claudia’s voice is beautiful whether she sings in her native Spanish or in English. The program is a personal musical journey that is packed with emotion. The tones are gently blue. We particularly liked tracks “A Meditation on Two Chords”, “Lilas” and “Oceano”. Acuna has strong support from Jason Lindner (keyboards), John Benitez (b), Luisito Quintero (percussion) and Gene Jackson (d). There is also a bonus video track that can be view on most personal computers.
