Album featuring poems by Roque Dalton released in Cuba

Holguin, Cuba, Oct 26 (Prensa Latina) — Cuban *trovador* (singer-songwriter) Fernando Cabreja has released his album *La ternura no basta, cantar a Roque Dalton* ("Tenderness Is Not Enough: Singing to Roque Dalton") in the eastern province of Holguín. The album features 11 poems by the Salvadoran bard.

The release took place as part of the 32nd Ibero-American Culture Festival, which is being held in the city until October 30.

The album was produced by the *Producciones Colibri* label—part of the Cuban Institute of Music—with the support of Cuba’s Ministry of Culture.

Yasel Munoz handled the musical arrangements and direction; Enrique Carballea served as executive producer; Ronel Gonzalez wrote the liner notes; and Aristides Hernandez (“Ares”) created the album’s visual design.

The work was presented by Adriana Pazos, director of *Producciones Colibri*, and music critic and researcher Joaquin Borges.

Cabreja told *Prensa Latina* that he is very happy and pleased with the album, which has just been released on various digital platforms for a global audience.

The *trovador* explained that the project grew out of his long-standing engagement with Dalton’s work, which began during his student years at the University of Havana. “I fell in love with his work, his poetics, and his authenticity,” he stated.

The production aims to position the Salvadoran author’s poetry within the Latin American musical landscape and to expand its international reach from Cuba.
