Benny and Cole

This album is a tribute to Benny Moré and Nat King Cole—two legends who never shared a stage but whose music spoke the same language. It is a dream of Havana meeting New York, where bolero and jazz embrace under the haze of lost time. With an extraordinary ensemble of musicians—piano virtuoso Gonzalo Rubalcaba, alto saxophonists Yainer Horta and Joey Calveiro, acoustic bassist Armando Gola, drummer Hilario Bell, and percussionist Richard Bravo—this project brings to life a conversation that was never had but always meant to be.
