Juan Diego Flórez's passion for Latin American music started at an early age, and it remains deeply ingrained in him. His love for the music, especially songs from Cuba and Mexico by artists like José Alfredo Jiménez, has always fascinated him. Flórez believes that this genre is so powerful because it touches on universal themes such as home, family, love, and heartbreak.
In his latest album, Bésame Mucho, Flórez aims to represent the diversity of the Latin American continent through its music. He carefully selected songs from different countries to provide a comprehensive picture of their rich musical heritage. The album features tracks like "Caballo Viejo" from Venezuela, music from Colombia, and the Argentine protest song "Sólo le pido a Dios". Additionally, it includes iconic songs like "Aquarela do Brasil" from Brazil and "Guantanamera" from Cuba.
Bésame Mucho is a deeply personal project for Flórez. Normally known for his repertoire of bel canto operas, particularly those by Gioacchino Rossini and select French stage pieces, he decided to venture into a different musical territory. His previous Mozart album received critical acclaim and showcased his versatility as a singer, even though he had never performed any Mozart pieces on stage before. Flórez's exceptional talent, characterized by his smooth and powerful voice, as well as his command over high notes and musical style, has solidified his position as one of the best tenors of our time.
In conclusion, Juan Diego Flórez's passion for Latin American music has been a lifelong journey. Bésame Mucho serves as a personal testament to his love for the genre, featuring songs that capture the essence and diversity of the Latin American continent. Flórez's exceptional voice and versatility make him a standout performer in both opera and other musical genres.
