Great Cuban singer, Issac (sic) Delgado, and Freddy Cole, Nat’s younger brother, teamed up this last year to do a beautiful tribute cd, called L-O-V-E. Freddy chose Issac to do this recording with him and I agree; it was a great choice.
Issac grew up in Cuba listening to Nat King Cole on old records his mom used to play. Along with so many other latinoamericanos, Issac has always admired Nat. He jumped at the chance to do a project like this knowing that his regular fans might not be as excited about it as he was. This September, the cd was nominated for a Latin Grammy. I guess the public liked it.
Take a listen to the timeless "Quizás, quizás, quizás", a nostalgic visit to a very sweet time but with a smooth and funky "swing cubano". ¡Vaya! (The clarinet solo is to die for!)
