The CD Eternamente en mi of Schola Cantorum Coralina (Colibrí 2006), recently appeared among the nominees to the festival CUBADISCO 2007.

Recorded in Spain at "La Factoría" studios on July 1999, it contains choral arrangements of timeless anthological songs of the Cuban tradition. It was produced by Cuban record label Colibrí on 2006.

Notes of the disk(fragments)

How much this last CD of Schola Cantorum Coralina completes the expectations to listen to the golden melodies and armonies of the poetic texts of Prats, Roig, Matamoros, Sindo, Graciano, Conrado Monier and Rene Baños at every moment in Cuba or any city of the planet ! How influencing is this renewed patrimony to pay a tribute to the restless master Alina Orraca for the appearance of her new color paintbrushes on the Cuban musical landscape!...Roberto Chorens (notes for the CD)

"It is easy to find musicians with a high academic level. Other times, we hear a tremendous display of emotion and expressiveness. But those two qualities are rarely together, and Coralina summarize them"...Daniel Baremboin (critic 1998)

One of the most outstanding virtues of Coralina is their mimetic capacity to adopt the sober of sacred music, the gracious of traditional songs, the sublime of the habaneras, the impassionate of spirituals and the unhibited rythym of Cuban popular music. And we have to make notice that being Cuban does not always means to move with grace on stage, specially when we are dealing with a choir. Coralina makes it...Rayna Carmona (notes about Coralina)
