My name is Omara Portuondo
:19:53
I was born here in Havana
in the area known as Cayo Hueso

:20:04
My father was a famous
baseball player

:20:10
He was one of the first Cubans
to play outside his country

:20:14
They took Cuban baseball
To the US

:20:18
My parents used to relax after lunch
and sing a few songs

:20:27
They would sing duets
:20:29
And that's how my love of
Cuban music began

:20:34
I started singing La Bayamesa
when I was a little girl

:20:39
My father would sing the lead voice,
and I'd sing the back-up

:20:43
The song I've recorded here,
Viente Anos...

:20:48
...has won a Grammy
:20:50
I've known it since
I was a child

:20:55
What matterifl love you,
ifyou don't love me any more?
