Eusebio Leal walks through Havana among musical notes

August 13, 2022

With the premiere of the song Profeta del amor, performed by the duo Ktalejo, historian Eusebio Leal walks today through the streets of Havana, amid the sounds of an album made to his measure.

The song is part of the album El novio de La Habana, created by Alejandro Rodríguez Díaz, which commemorates the 80th anniversary of Leal's birth, thanks to the joint work between Bis Music, Artex and the Office of the Historian of the City of the capital.

From the official profile on the social network Facebook, the record label Bis Music shared the audiovisual that accompanies the single, while evoking the speaker's passage through the historic center of the territory, to which he devoted his life, in order to rescue and preserve its heritage. The recording integrates the actions of the Época de amar project, an initiative aimed at the production of book-record albums, which already has one installment dedicated to Manuela Sáenz and Simón Bolívar, as well as to Adriana Pérez and Hero of the Republic Gerardo Hernández, according to Habana Radio.

Rodríguez Díaz's proposal and his team presents five songs, marked by great musical diversity, in keeping with the eclecticism that characterized Leal's work, while combining the performances of various artists, according to the document.

In that sense, Vania Borges participates in the production with the song that gives its name to the album, actor Alden Knight, whose voice lends prestige to the musicalized poem Siembra; Pascualito Cabrejas and Tumbao Habana in the notes of Barrio Jesús María; Leo Vera (Rezo a la ceiba) and the trio Los Embajadores (Café París).
