LUCY GRAU, A BEAUTIFUL CUBAN-AMERICAN SINGER AND STRONG VOICE.
Lucy was born in Mount Sinai Hospital, Miami Beach. She is the daughter of Cuban exiles. He has always lived in South Florida. She is married and has two daughters. He began to sing at the age of seven, in the choir of a Methodist Church called “Alpha”, a term that means “The beginning”. At the age of nine Lucy started taking piano lessons for a short period of time because her own thing, she always recognizes, was singing.
Lucy recalls that since she was a child she attended typical Miami festivities such as the 8th Street Festival or the Fair of the Municipalities of Cuba in Exile with a cassette with recorded music, in case they gave her the opportunity to go on stage. The tape contained two themes -rememora-. If asked to perform a third song he played a capella “El Yerberito”, classic of his idolized Celia Cruz.
In one of those presentations, right at the age of 13, a businessman named Ruben Otero was dazzled by his voice and proposed to be the vocalist of an orchestra that he managed. “With that group I received my first money for singing,” he says with emotion. The popular singer has not stopped performing with her own orchestra.
The beautiful Cuban American singer Lucy Grau has presented her album “Alocada”, as the first promotional item is “On The Radio”, tropical version of the classic of the unforgettable Donna Summer.
As you know, Lucy Grau is dedicated to music since adolescence, but only in recent months could the dream of recording the album “Alocada”, which according to the singer, “was made with much love and sacrifice” crystallize. The themes that are part of this production “are a reflection of my crazy, bilingual, intense and cheerful life,” he says.
It should be noted that “Alocada” was produced by the respected Carlos Infante and was recorded completely in Miami. In addition to the promotional single “On The Radio”, the album contains tracks like “Last dance”, “Tell me heart”, “I suspect”, “What does it do”, “Killing me softly”, “Without comments”, “The solar” and “Alocada”, in salsa and ballad versions.
He has sung at public and private events, always accompanied by a first-class orchestra. One of his lights, of course, is Celia. “It was, is and will be the greatest. I listened to her at all family parties. She always hummed her songs, I was struck by her powerful voice and the fact that in spite of the machismo that prevailed in her time they were looking for her to sing with men’s orchestras, “says the popular salsa singer.

Lucy nació en el Hospital Mount Sinai, de Miami Beach. Es hija de cubanos exiliados. Siempre ha vivido en el sur de Florida. Está casada y tiene dos hijas. Comenzó a cantar a la edad de siete años, en el coro de una Iglesia Metodista llamada “Alfa”, término que significa “El comienzo”. A los nueve años Lucy empezó a tomar clases de piano por un breve período de tiempo porque lo suyo siempre, reconoce, fue el canto.
Lucy recuerda que desde pequeña asistía a festividades típicas de Miami como el Festival de la Calle 8 o la Feria de los Municipios de Cuba en el Exilio con un casete con música grabada, en caso de que le dieran la oportunidad de subir al escenario. La cinta contenía dos temas –rememora-. Si le pedían interpretar una tercera canción interpretaba a capella “El Yerberito”, clásico de su idolatrada Celia Cruz.
En una de esas presentaciones, justamente, a la edad de 13 años, un empresario llamado Rubén Otero se deslumbró con su voz y le propuso ser la vocalista de una orquesta que manejaba. “Con ese grupo recibí mi primer dinerito por cantar”, dice con emoción. La popular cantante no ha parado de realizar presentaciones con su propia orquesta.
La bella cantante cubanoamericana Lucy Grau ha presentado su disco “Alocada”, como primer tema de promoción es “On The Radio”, versión tropical del clásico de la inolvidable Donna Summer.
Como se sabe, Lucy Grau se dedica a la música desde la adolescencia, pero recién en los últimos meses pudo cristalizar el sueño de grabar el disco “Alocada”, que según la cantante, “fue hecho con mucho amor y sacrificio”. Los temas que forman parte de esta producción“son un reflejo de mi alocada, bilingüe, intensa y alegre vida”, acota.
Cabe resaltar que “Alocada”, fue producido por el respetado Carlos Infante y fue grabado completamente en Miami.
