Leoni Torres presents his latest album ‘Alma Cubana’ (Cuban Soul)

Havana, March 12 (RHC)— After the resounding success of his album ‘Amor Bonito’, released two years ago, popular singer-songwriter Leoni Torres presented his latest musical production entitled ‘Alma Cubana’ (Cuban Soul), under Puntilla Music label.

In statements to Cuban News Agency (ACN), Leoni the aim is to mix traditional and contemporary music in one single album for the enjoyment of all generations alike.

The first single entitled ‘Miloca’ from this latest production was released last December, becoming an instant hit in and outside Cuba. The second single entitled ‘Si fuera mía’ was also released. With it, Leoni Torres pays tribute to singer-songwriter, the late Polo Montañez.

This latest album by Leoni was produced by Kelvis Ochoa, Leonardo Gil Milián and Leoni himself. Kelvis Ochoa is also the author of five tunes included in ‘Alma cubana’, while Leoni wrote four.

Titles include ‘Te pongo a bailar’, ‘Me quedaré’, ‘Si tú no estás’, ‘Seguiré’.

Leoni said he wanted to record an album like this one for many years but couldn’t not find the right songs. He added that ‘Alma cubana’ was recorded over the past several months of the Covid-19 pandemic, when concert halls and other cultural spaces were closed due to the health crisis.

A strong admirer of traditional Cuban music, which he has amply demonstrated several times with his own contemporary versions of iconic traditional tunes, the renowned musician said this latest album again mixes traditional Cuban genres like son and bolero, but also features contemporary Cuban and international sounds and instruments like the flamenco guitar.
