When Ivette Cepeda decided three decades ago to become a teacher because she loved teaching and her country needed teachers at the time, she never thought her passion for singing would, years later, make her one of Cuba’s most admired singers.
Her magnificent voice, her powerful interpretations and her unique way of expressing feelings sum up the reasons this unique singer has transcended Cuban borders.
I always liked to sing, I think it was a passion I nurtured since childhood," Cepeda told Cubaplus.
Winner in 2011 of a Cubadisco Award (Cuba's record industry's most important) with her live recording Estaciones (Seasons), Cepeda has dedicated her art to Cuban popular music for two decades with no distinctions in genre; she sings equally a son, a bolero, a bossa nova and, of course, songs from the Nueva Trova movement.
