The Cuban woman with her powerful voice takes control of the scene. From a place in Havana, her singing unleashes magic for lovers of good music, filin, bolero, and song.

The version of the well-known musical theme has gone viral on the social networks of Cubans and also among followers of Latin music in the world. It has accumulated more than 196 thousand views and more than 2,400 comments.

This is a song that Vania masters very well and it has taken her to her territory more than once. She has sung it live in her concerts and has also recorded it.

"Corazón Partío" was one of the themes by Spanish musician and composer included in the Cuban singer's first solo album. The CD came out in 2006 and she dedicated it entirely to the work of Alejandro Sanz. It was titled "Vania En Clave De Bolero".

In 2014, Vania assured during an interview that she has been a fan of Alejandro Sanz's songs since she was very young.

"I had the opportunity to participate in the album 'Cuba le canta a Serrat' and some Spanish producers became interested in my work. During the recording process, Emilio Vega mentioned to them that I liked the music of this singer-songwriter and they proposed it to Alejandro Sanz. That's how that recording production came about," she said.

That album, of boleros with Latin jazz nuances, came out into the world with the support of the Blau label and produced by pianist Emilio Vega. Other notable tracks are the versions of "Tú no tienes alma" and "Amiga mía" in Vania's unmistakable voice.
