BEBO & CIGALA – LÁGRIMAS NEGRAS (1LP BLACK VINYL)

After some years without physical releases, Calle 54 Records is reissuing its entire catalog in collaboration with Reissued Sounds.

Winner of one Latin Grammy, Lágrimas Negras captures the extraordinary encounter between flamenco singer Diego “El Cigala” and pianist/arranger Bebo Valdés. Fifty years separate them on the calendar and thousands of kilometers on the map, yet they share an absolute rapport: each brings out the very best in the other’s artistry. The project is a journey to the essence of the Ibero‑American love song, with stops in Cuba, Central and South America, and Spain. Bebo and Cigala revisit nine classics of popular music, joined by distinguished guest artists who contribute masterful touches to this unpretentious mosaic. Simplicity and purity reign in this meeting of multiple ethnic traditions. A first‑rate cultural fusion, this label‑free music proves that with artists of such stature, the naked truth is enough to move us with a song.
