The recent nomination of the album *Eternamente Omara* for the 2026 Latin Grammys confirms this, and her joy regarding the news resonates with her admirers, both in Cuba and abroad.

In exclusive statements to Prensa Latina following the announcement, the artist expressed her gratitude for life, for her homeland, and for every small gesture from an audience that recognizes her as one of the country’s most exceptional musical figures.

In conversation with this reporter, she recalled the accolades she has received across Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America, as well as the highest honors a cultural figure can attain in Cuba.

Renowned as a leading exponent of the *feeling* genre, the singer is grateful for her global reach—from her time with the Buena Vista Social Club to her recording work with labels such as Egrem (Cuba), Nube Negra (Spain), and World Circuit (United Kingdom).

Among the works that highlight Omara’s career is *Vida*, which won the 2023 Latin Grammy for Best Traditional Tropical Album.

On many occasions, Omara has expressed her deep commitment to her audience—an audience she has never left behind. “My people—those who love me and recognize my work,” the singer affirmed.

In a previous interview with this news agency, she described herself as a healthy, vibrant, and quintessentially Cuban woman.
