Esther Borja
Esther Borja was a beloved Cuban soprano whose velvety voice became synonymous with Cuba's musical golden age. Born in Havana in 1913, she rose to fame through her legendary collaborations with composer Ernesto Lecuona, beautifully interpreting his romantic canciones and zarzuelas - a partnership immortalized in recordings like "Esther Borja interpreta a Ernesto Lecuona." Her career spanned seven decades, effortlessly transitioning from classical art songs to popular Cuban genres like bolero and danzón.
Celebrated for her crystalline tone and emotional depth, Borja became a cultural icon who outlived most of her contemporaries, passing away in 2013 just months after her 100th birthday. The "En Sus Cien Años" series and recent remastered releases showcase her enduring legacy, preserving her ability to make every lyric feel like a whispered conversation. While best known for Lecuona's works, her repertoire ranged from Spanish classical pieces to contemporary Cuban compositions, always delivered with her signature grace and sophistication.
