About This Item
On her third album for Chesky Records, Xiomara Laugart steps up to the plate with her own distinctive style to interpret some Cuban classics from the 1920s golden era. Tears and Rumba is a fine introduction to the singer-songwriter's driven trova style from the city of Santiago and features works by two extremely influential composers of that era, Maria Teresa Vera and Miguel Matamoros. Featured on the album, a quintet of excellent musicians who are part of a new generation from Cuba that continues to flow into NYC, among them Yunior Terry, guitarist Roman Lajara and flautist Javier Porta.
