Uxia : Looking into the Atlantic is a horizon that speaks to me so that I can express myself louder and clearer. That sea that unites us brings back and forth musics in an eternal sailing of feelings. I offer then my voice as an instrument that cannot lie, and disembark at ports of hope, love and lovelessness, commitment, tenderness and joy in a synthesis of vital restlessness.

For seven years the attacks on her person and political beliefs continued. During this time, however, Horne worked as a singer, appearing in nightclubs and making some of her best recordings
