Cecilia Duarte; Vincent A. Pequefio; Israel Alcala; William Carlton Galvez; J�sus Pacheco - Reencuentros

REFERENCE RECORDINGS is proud to announce Cecilia Duarte�s first solo album, Reencuentros (pronounced reenkwentros), produced by multipletime Producer of the Year GRAMMY� winner, Blanton Alspaugh. Cecilia is best known as a classical and opera singer. This album is a departure, containing 12 romantic boleros from multiple countries. Sung in Spanish, these Latin popular standards are truly art songs from the mid20th century. Cecilia is accompanied by Trio Chapultepec: Vincent A. Peque�o, Israel Alcala, and William Carlton Galvez, joined by Jes�s Pacheco on percussion. Reencuentros was recorded in December of 2020 at Wire Road Studios, by engineer Andrew Bradley. Cecilia Duarte writes this about the origin of Reencuentros: �This album is a reencounter with my past, a remembrance of the moments when I listened to my mother sing many of the songs compiled here, and a reflection of who I am as an artist today� Reencuentros represents where I come from and the stories that formed me. It is important for me to share this legacy of beautiful music, only a small token of the artistic richness of Latin American music.�
