Características
Born in Chihuahua, Mexico, Cecilia Duartes is a versatile vocalist who releases "Reencuentros," her first solo album. For the album, Reference Recordings enlisted multiple Grammy winner and producer Blantos Alspaugh and engineer Andrew Bradley. Duartes sings 12 romantic boleros in Spanish, accompanied by the Trio Chapultepec (Vincent A. Pequeño, Israel Alcala and William Carlton Galvez, complemented by Jesús Pacheco on percussion ).
As soloist, Cecilia Duartes was praised by the New York Times as a "creamy voiced mezzo-soprano." She received wide acclaim for her embodiment of Renata in the first mariachi opera, "Cruzar la Cara de la Luna," with the Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán, commissioned by the Houston Grand Opera in 2010.
"This album is a re-encounter with my past, a reminder of the moments I heard my mother sing many of the songs compiled here, and a reflection on who I am today as an artist.... "Reencuentros" represents my heritage and the stories that have shaped me. It is important to me to share this heritage of beautiful music, which is just a small sample of the artistic richness of Latin American music." (Cecilia Duarte)
