The golden age of Cuban songs is lovingly recreated in “Album de Cuba.” First an internationally acclaimed CD and now a sizzling concert tour, “Album de Cuba” is the latest project from Cuban singer Lucrecia, one of today’s most exciting artists performing “música tropical,” in the great tradition of Celia Cruz. Backed by a period-perfect big band, Lucrecia sings a seductive collection of beloved classics including “Siboney,” “Guantanamera,” “El Manisero,” and many more with a voice that is intensely romantic and a style marked by surprising versatility.
So far, Lucrecia’s musical adventure has taken her from her native Cuba to Spain, where she now resides. Her new show—filled with luscious boleros and hip-swiveling dance tunes—will take us to an era when Cuban songs were on every country’s hit parade and sung by artists throughout the world.
