Leonor Dely - "Ámame"

"... an explosion of sound in the purest of voices with a heart plucking acoustic guitar driven by drumming from many cultures, all supported by the soaring lyrics of other-worldly inspiration. have your heart and soul touched while your body dances along." - tom lysaght, playwright

 "A solid mix of African and Afro-Latin American folk rhythms and musics" "...maybe one of KC Porter's finest recordings"
Enrique Lopetegui - LA Times

Leonor Dely, one of Colombia's finest singer/songwriters presents a classic, inspiring collection of rhythmic songs and music combined gracefully with the Hidden Words of Bahá'u'lláh.

"Amame" showcases the powerful vocals of the renowned Colombian voaclist, Leonor Dely, as well as the ethnic, Afro-Colombian master of percussion, Millero Congo, some of Colombia's and the Caribbean's most versatile and resourceful percussionists and musicians: Istvan Dely, Hungarian born, Cuban and West African trained jazz percussionist living in Colombia, Shangó Dely, renowned percussionist with Colombian superstar Carlos Vives' band (also the album producer) and David Dely, percussionist and a master of the Colombian Native American flutes. Other members of the Vives band are featured as well.

Each of the songs is a little gem with its own unique and distinctive Latin rhythm, like landmarks on a musical map of Colombia and the Caribbean, ranging from Afro-colombian cumbia, porro and currulao to huapango and cueca of the Andes, bambuco and pasillo of the interior, pasaje of the plains; from Afro-cuban batas, guajira, bolero and pilón to Haitian yanvalou, giving the album a musical diversity nearly as rich as the words contained within it.

The executive producer of this album is KC Porter, known for his production work on Carlos Santana's recent CD "Shaman", the Grammy® award winning "Supernatural", Ricky Martin, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Ozomatli, Eliades Ochoa and many others.

The freshness, authenticity and spiritual vitality of "Amame" (Love Me, the title of the album) will surely find its way to the hearts of those who cherish the preservation of cultural diversity in the global village of the next millenium.

    author: judith

    to put these beutiful words in music .made them even more insprational and they surely reached my soul and stood with me with more easeand would love to thank the artist for this great gift that she has given us.

  • Phenomenal!
    author: Debbie Jerome aka 'Lisa Francisco'

    All songs are marvelous in particular "Amame" and the lesser known Track 9 "Para Todo Hay Signo." Phenomenal to say the least! I don't believe in religion but the music on this album pulls you to its core..the music, artistry and genuineness.....

  • My Soul was lifted to the Holy of Holies listening to Aname
    author: Marlene

    Can't wait to buy this one.. this tops what I have listened to in a long time! This one breathes life into you...

  • Heart felt vocals, wonderfull percussive rhythms
    author: mike baldinger

    I love this group. Great variety of rhythms. Complex and tastefull percussion with vocals that have an uplifting spirit in them.

  • I liked it.
    author: Jacqueline Odess-Gillett

    I liked this CD quite a bit. The song "Amame", in particular, is a winner. I think it could be a top hit.

  • author: patricia ramirez

    seria espectacular que leonor dely visitara medellin (colombia) y presentar un concierto, sería una lluvia de bendición. gracias por tus canciones nos llenan de paz

  • This is 100% Colombian music and talent. Thank you Leonor. You have done a wonde
    author: Adriana

    A Baha'i friend of mine brought this CD to my home, where I was facilitating a Spanish Baha'i Study Circle. I felt so proud to listen to Leonor. I am a Baha'i and I am from Colombia but I live now in Canada. There is so much talent in our country and our cultural and musical heritage is so great! I am happy because the world may know through Leonor's work that Colombia is not only about war and drugs. That is just what they hear on the media. But if they research and study a little bit they will discover a country with extremely talented, creative, passionate and friendly people... a country with amazing natural resources and one of the biggest bio-diviersities in the world. We have a lot to offer to the world. Our music is a mixture, just as we are. Did you know that 99% of the population of Colombia is mixed (Indigenous, European, African)? That is our race, our culture and our music. It is not any more just Indigenous or European or African. We are that mix and the music you hear in this CD is 100% Colombian. Just like the music of Shakira, Carlos Vives and Joe Arroyo. Or the art of Fernando Botero and Alejandro Obregon. Or the literature of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Alvaro Mutis. Thank you Leonor. In this CD, Leonor's talent, combined with our Colombian music and the Baha'i Writings are the most powerful and sublime sounds... are a channel to happiness and God.

  • Spread it around!
    author: Emmanuel

    I first heard this CD at some friends' and immediately loved it. Ten minutes later, I had 4 of them ordered at CD-Baby: one for me and 3 for friends. The soul-lifting words of Baha'u'llah are perfectly served by such warm, emotional and diverse music styles. Moreover, Leonor Dely has such an enchanting voice! Buy it for yourself and for your loved ones!

  • What can I add?
    author: Tracy

    I keep buying this because I have to give it to everybody I love, and even though I am somewhat of a hermit, there are just enough beloved people that I keep having to replenish my supply. I'm hoping I will be able to take a break sometime soon, but come to think of it, my cousin and dad did not get copies. Oh well, here we go again!

  • Wonderful!
    author: Niki G.

    This cd is so magical. The divinely inspired lyrics along with the amazing and diverse music make for a wonderful cd to listen for any occassion! (Thanks for playing for us in Reno!)

  • Amazing, a must-hear!!!
    author: Emilia

    Wow, there are not enough adjectives to describe how wonderful this CD is. I don't get tired of listening to it and the words are so uplifting!! thanks Leonor, do it again!!

  • It made me want to study Spanish
    author: Clancy

    Beautiful music that seemed to take me all over the world. One suggestion I would make is to include the words with the CD but then maybe it's better to make people look them up themselves. I wish I spoke Spanish so I could have the added magic of the Holy Words plus the beautiful music.

  • This recording should get serious and abundant praise from critics
    author: Billy Howell-Sinnard

    Haven't stopped listening to it since I bought it three weeks ago. Haven't stopped dancing either. What a joy to hear such uplifting words combined so masterfully with exuberant, delightful, and poignant melodies. The musicians are fantastic. Leonor's voice is superb. Can't say enough to extol this CD.

  • Amame is amazing!
    author: Tracy

    Heart to heart love beats with spirit, professionalism, art, and pure grace. No prose gets close to describing the effect this music has on its listeners. Leonor loves us through her urgent song and our foundation is remade with joy.

  • Fantastico! Excelente! Que inspiracion!

    author: Fi G.

    I just love this CD! The sound is rich and vital, it's enthralling and thrilling. I like it more each time I listen to it.

  • Highly recommend
    author: Sergey S.

    Highly professional production. Outstanding vocal and musical performance. And lyrics... well, shall we say divine. Don't let the Spanish language be a barrier this time.

  • Very nice songs, beautiful
    author: Amy

    The music is very nice and I really enjoyed number 2 and 8, and also number 3.

  • a pure voice of inspiring lyrics and afro-latin rhythms
    author: tom lysaght, playwright

    an explosion of sound in the purest of voices with a heart plucking acouistic guitar driven by drumming from many cultures, all supported by the soaring lyrics of other-worldly inspiration. have your heart and soul touched while your body dances along.

  • A wonderful piece of culture to share with friends!
    author: Mariah

    Amame reminds me of great friends and good times. It's inspiring blend of las culturas is peaceful yet invigorating to the soul. It makes me think of the beautiful people who made it and the beautiful places they think of when creating. I recently ordered Amame for a friend who also loved it and will go on to share it with his friends. Thank you Leonor and family for sharing your talent and hearts!

  • A wonderful reminder of humanity's diversity and artistic abilities!
    author: Rebecca

    This CD is a wonderful compilation of Baha'u'llah's Words put to song. It is a refreshing and inspirational compilation. I've had the CD on repeat in my home since it arrived in the mail a week ago! :) Thank you.

  • Excellente!

    Amame y la Tabla de Ahmad son mis canciones favoritas. Ahora me la paso cantando las palabras ocultas de Baha'u'llah, en cuanto Talisman salga yo lo compro! Deberian venir a Nueva Zelandia y dar un concierto!

  • Great contribution for world music collections
    author: Scott Antilla, Executive Director, HarmonyWorks

    Amame is a rare find for the world music enthusiast! This collection of songs hold together well given the variety of nicely executed latin and afro-cuban rhythms . The passion of Leonor's vocals and other muscians makes for a deeply inspiring listening experience.

  • Magnifico, una manera especial de renovar el animo y espiritualidad!
    author: Blanca Rodriguez

    Despues del concierto en San Diego el pasado 21 de Junio y aun estoy fascinada con su musica! que musica y que calidad humana del grupo! Felicidades a Leonor, Shango y a todo el grupo, tendremos que solicitarle a KC Porter que vea la manera de traerles a San Diego nuevamente, Gracias a todos ustedes por su musica e inspiraion, saludos de la gritona! y no pierdan la sonrisa, que Dios les ama y yo tambien, cuando no tengan algo mejor que hacer mandenme un correo electonico (e-mail) les mando un beso y fuerte abrazo a todos y cada uno!

  • "A solid mix of African and Afro-Latin American folk rhythms and musics"
    author: Enrique Lopetegui - La Times

    A solid mix of African and Afro-Latin American folk rhythms and musics. It is an unusual mix for a major music producer and an openly religious project, and maybe one of K.C. Porter's finest recordings.

  • "A musical masterpiece throughout!" - NY Times
    author: Tom Conelli

    A must for any world music enthusiast!

  • The Colombian Buena Vista Social Club
    author: Kc Porter

    I make Latin music for a living and Leonor's new CD blew me away! There are 20 songs on the CD each with a different Latin roots rhythm and the backing musicians are awesome. The words that Leonor chose to set to music couldn't be more powerful and spiritually inspired! KC Porter WorldBeat Productions(Producer - Santana/Ricky Martin/Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, etc..)
