Rita Donte - Ritual (2025)

There are journeys that, rather than having a destination, propose a circular path. Ritual, the new album by Rita Donte, is the logbook of one such journey. It is a return—not only to the sonic roots that shaped her from her childhood in Cuba but also to the questions that once dreamed of becoming songs. However, this return is not merely an exercise in nostalgia; it’s the collision of her origins with the lessons and landscapes that have shaped her: the first family piano, the arduous years of flamenco dancing, the Havana street performances with the Gigantería group, the sunsets along the Malecón, the kaleidoscopic bustle of Mexico City, and the serenity of Baja California’s beaches.
