notes
This is Tania's second CD. Tania Cordobés is an artist whose original songs span the genre's of folk, pop, Cuban, country and jazz. Tania shares her musical gifts in a variety of ways, as a music therapist, in the church as a worship musician, and as a singer/songwriter in the community. An accomplished pianist, Tania began formal piano lessons at the age of six and continued on to obtain a bachelor's and master's degree in music and music therapy at Southern Methodist University assisted by full scholarships. After completing her master's degree, Tania studied music in Cuba (voice under Sonia McCormick of the Escuela Nacional de Musica and Leonel Aleaga of Adelberto y Su Son). Her love for Cuban boleros led her to study voice and piano with the late Carmen Torres (sister of Aidita - bandleader for Cuarteto Las de Aida) who taught her about the movement of "filin" music in Cuba. Tania has been a music therapist for the past 17 years and has published songwriting research with HIV patients in the spring 1997 Journal of Music Therapy.
Tania's CD's are in demand by listeners who are thrilled to discover a vocal talent that is hidden from the mainstream. If you like acoustic guitar and piano songs that are straight from the heart, you will love her first CD entitled "Looking Back Thinking Ahead". Her second CD entitled, "Surf Salsa" was created when she began exploring her Cuban musical roots. One of the songs from that second CD effort, "Que Lindo" (a song about the immigration experience of her father's family) won an honorable mention in the prestigious Nashville Songwriter's Association/CMT International Songwriting Contest in 2003. Tania was voted one of the top five latin music acts in Dallas/Fort Worth in 1999 by the readership of the Dallas Observer (a local entertainment newspaper). In 1998 she was invited to sing at the annual 4th of July Willie Nelson Picnic in Luchenbach, Texas. Her voice has been used in various regional jingles in Spanish and English and she has appeared on local Spanish variety TV shows including "De Todo Un Poco" and "Variadissimo". In 1997 and 1998 Tania created "Cultural Knowledge Through the Arts Workshop and Artist Exchange" in which she brought musicians and dancers from Cuba to Texas.
Tania credits her mother, an accomplished pianist/teacher/adjudicator/choir director and former volunteer minister of music, as her inspiration to study and pursue learning to play the piano and a constant source of encouragement in the lifelong study of music. Tania credits her Abuelita (grandmother) for teaching her the joys of singing and in particular of always singing a new song unto the Lord. To the very end of her 94 years, Abuelita had a song on her lips regardless of her circumstances and passed on many great songs from the Spanish church as well as from Cuban traditional song movements. Tania's rich ethnic heritage (Cuban, Irish, German), music training and professional music therapy experiences, combined with her love of the Lord come together to create a wonderful expression of faith that shines whether the presentation is on stage or CD.
