Gladys De La Lastra - Soberania Victoriano Lorenzo

Review by Jesús Vélez

Gladys De La Lastra's latest album, Soberania Victoriano Lorenzo, is a stunning tribute to the legendary Panamanian leader Victoriano Lorenzo. The album features ten tracks, each one showcasing De La Lastra's incredible vocal range and her deep understanding of the cultural significance of Victoriano Lorenzo's legacy.

From the opening track, "Soy Victoriano," De La Lastra's voice soars over a complex and layered arrangement of traditional Panamanian instruments, including the guiro, the conga, and the maracas. The album's title track, "Soberania Victoriano Lorenzo," is a powerful ballad that pays tribute to Lorenzo's role in the fight for Panamanian independence.

Throughout the album, De La Lastra's voice is the star of the show, but the backing instrumentation is equally impressive. The musicians who accompany her on the album are all top-notch, and they bring a wealth of traditional Panamanian musical knowledge to the table.

Summary by Jesús Vélez

Soberania Victoriano Lorenzo is a masterful album that showcases Gladys De La Lastra's incredible talent and her deep connection to Panamanian history and culture. Whether you're a fan of traditional Panamanian music or just appreciate great vocal performances, this album is not to be missed.
