At this point, Adrian Quesada is a man who needs no introduction. With a musical curiosity rivaling Beck, project to project, he conjures up albums thoughtfully marrying tradition or inspiration to Quesada.
On both iterations of the Boleros Psicodélicos albums, Quesada explores the centuries-old, Cuban-rooted tradition of the Bolero, beautiful, dramatic love songs deep with passion and steeped with stories of love unrequited, forsaken, and everlasting. As part of his latest Studio 1A performance, he brought in Puerto Rican singer-songwriter iLe for “Bravo,” a beautiful piece to the ear, but a biting, award-winning telenovela take-down monologue to ignite your soul.
Boleros Psicodélicos II is out now on ATO Records.
