"Duele" contains a dozen songs based on early-to mid-century Cuban boleros, the Cuban equivalent of the American blues, with a twist. Innovatively repurposed, these versions have been rearranged with contemporary scores, English translations and new turns of phrase. True to Maria Bacardi’s commitment to empowering a new cadre of musicians while honoring Cuba’s musical tradition, “Duele” features a powerhouse team of both young Cuban artists and musical legends.
