Just mentioning the boleros Vida consentida (Condescended life) and Corazón en cristal (Crystal heart), brings forth the immediate mental association with the name of Lino Borges, one of the bolero’s emblematic voices in Cuba whose recordings were quite spread out on the middle of last century by radio broadcasters as well as by juke boxes flooding public places at the time.
Leader voice in ensembles like Joaquín Mendivel’s, Rumbavana’s and Saratoga’s, being this last one with which he stayed for more than two decades, he was frequently identified by promotional media as “La voz del bolero” (Bolero’s voice) for his great mastering of the genre, where his ample discography is a testimony of it, which has been the base for creating a compilation as part of the collection Las Voces del Siglo (Voices of the century), where we can enjoy some of the jewels that he immortalized all along his wide artistic career.
