Two years in the making, “Duele” was created as a statement of both the struggle and gratitude for the artist’s multi-layered roots, from Cuba to Europe to New York, and the lessons learned from the encounters shared by the global transnational migrants.
“Duele” features a powerhouse team of both young Cuban artists and musical legends: Grammy Award winners David Oquendo and Paquito D’Rivera; Hip-Hop master and leader of the new generation of Cuba producers, Edgaro Gonzalez, virtuoso pianist, arranger, and composer Dayramir Gonzalez, Latin Jazz pianists Axel Laugart, gifted bassists Gaston Joya and Yunior Terry and brass arranger Kali Rodriguez Pena.
