As for upcoming projects, he announced “sing, sing and sing” and a new album that would be released this year, under a format similar to the recital that friends from Cuba enjoyed in France last night, within the framework of Latin America and the Caribbean Week .
The question about the Covid-19 pandemic and its severe impact on culture could not be missing from the dialogue with Prensa Latina.
The pandemic was a difficult moment for everyone, which I personally took advantage of to establish priorities, for example, the Rumba Azul album emerged in that context, when I told myself that I should sing the songs that I always wanted to do, she stressed.
