Aznavour to
record in Cuba
PARIS (SE).— The celebrated French singer Charles
Aznavour has announced his plan to travel to Havana
to record a disc along with Cuban pianist Chucho
Valdéz.
He
informed the national press of this idea during the
launch of his authorized biography Charles
Aznavour, ou, Le destin apprivoisé by Daniel
Pantchenko, which covers the intense life of the 82-year-old
artist in 600 pages.
Although he did not specify the date of the
encounter, he explained that it is scheduled for
after his trip to Armenia, his country of origin, in
the next few days. According to Le Figaro daily,
Chucho Valdéz’ company is due to the fact that the
singer has been seduced by Latin tones.
In 2002 Aznavour collaborated with another Cuban
musician, the legendary Compay Segundo, with whom he
recorded the song "Morir de amor" (Dying of Love)
for the disc Duets.
