Ivette Cepeda and La Rosa de Jericó now on digital platforms

November 27, 2021

La Rosa de Jericó, the first studio album by Ivette Cepeda and Reflexión, released under the Bis Music label, has been available since Friday, November 26 on virtual stores and on the Cuban music platform Sandunga.

After a lengthy production process comes this recording that becomes a testimony to the life of an artist who has not stopped dreaming and working in difficult times.

At a press conference held at the record label's headquarters, this phonogram was presented, containing 12 songs by renowned musicians such as Polito Ibáñez (Evocaciones), Ireno García (Un buen bolero), Leonardo García (Llegas), Augusto Blanca (Regalo No. 1), Yhosvany Palma (En la llovizna) and (Fue tal vez), the only song that already has a music video and is dedicated to the recently deceased actress Broselianda Hernández.

In "Como en la lluvia," by Karel García, flutist Orlando Valle "Maraca" participates, creating a work of art with the song, the performer affirmed.

Another composer who graces this album is Spanish singer-songwriter Luis Eduardo Aute with the song (Me va la vida en ello), in which gypsy singer Moisés de Moidanis of Los Yakis collaborates, very well-known in Madrid.

Also included is (Árboles raros), a song by Carlos Varela in which Horacio Hernández "El Negro" masterfully plays the drums, transmitting with his ingenuity what this song says, "a simple truth," Ivette emphasized.

Furthermore, she confessed that this album was born in her heart with the desire to pay homage to Santiago Feliú, which is why the first song chosen was "Ayer y hoy enamorado" by Santi, "for being an anthem of hope."

She also praised the performance of talented trumpeter Mayquel González in this song, playing a "solo" that breaks away from lyricism and moves toward that jazz expression that with truth invites you not only to say but to do, considering it historic and wonderful, "for me it is the peak moment of the album," she affirmed.

She expressed her gratitude to all these world-class musicians for their talent and humility.

Similarly, she highlighted the tremendous action of Bis Music in taking on this project and to everyone who collaborated in its realization. La Rosa de Jericó, with arrangements by producer Joel Domínguez, blends genres such as ballad, salsa, bolero, and song.

The songs on this fifth self-titled album by Ivette Cepeda speak of splendor, reunion, and the wonderful nature of life when you start over.

They also dress the album with closeness and love toward the people, "we have worked to try to plant something in the people who listen to us because we are part of a generation that needs many words to be able to move forward."

To defend the songs on this album and bring them closer to her audience, Ivette Cepeda regularly performs at the Artex music houses and will soon participate in the Chocolate con Café Festival, scheduled from November 28 to December 2 in Guantánamo.

This beloved and popular performer plans and dreams of soon presenting her new proposal in a theater or another venue where she can share closely with her followers.

It was also announced at the press conference that this phonogram will be sold in the ARTEX store chain. La Rosa de Jericó is a studio album that is reborn, flourishes, and captivates.
