MIRAMAR CELEBRATES ICONIC PUERTO RICAN COMPOSER SYLVIA REXACH’S 100th ANNIVERSARY WITH A NEW SINGLE AND A VIDEO ON BARBES RECORDS

In 2016, Barbès Records released Miramar’s debut album:” Dedication to Sylvia Rexach” an album that contributed to renewed of interest in the often overlooked Puerto Rican composer.
To celebrate Rexach’s 100th anniversary, Miramar is releasing a new recording of her song Olas y Arenas, arranged for string quartet and voice by Marlysse Simmons Argandoña and performed by the Rosette String Quartet and singer Laura Ann Singh.

It may take a cultural event as momentous as the release of Spielberg’s West Side Story to get people interested in Puerto Rican culture, but if there was ever a time to celebrate Sylvia Rexach - Puerto Rico’s greatest female composer – now would be the time.

Sylvia Rexach was born a hundred years ago and while she has attained cult status in Puerto Rico, she remains a relative unknown outside of her native isle - even though many of her songs have made it into the pan-Latin canon.

The celebrated Puerto Rican artist was working as a poet and composer at the exact time West Side Story was being conceived in New York City - Rexach died two days after the original movie was released, on October 20th 1961.
