This is the exquisitely plaintive ‘Un Canto A Mi Cuba’ by Cuban-American singer Angela Álvarez—who at the age of 95 became the oldest musician to win a Grammy. She was voted best new artist at the Latin Grammys this week, sharing the award with 25-year-old Silvana Estrada. Alvarez has been writing and singing songs all her life for family and friends. But she recorded her first album last year with the help of her grandson and producer Carlos José Alvarez. Who says dreams don’t come true? The Guardian has more on this amazing dream come true.
