Natalie Cole is continuing to follow in her fathers footsteps, as she pays homage and celebrates the richness of Latin music with the upcoming release of “Natalie Cole en Español”
As a chart-topping music icon that blazed a trail for racial equality, Nat King Cole was embraced by Latin music fans across the globe after releasing three groundbreaking Spanish language albums beginning in 1958. Now, his multiply Grammy Award-winning daughter will revisit her family’s multicultural tradition and introduce a new generation of fans to a collection of Latin music’s most beloved standards
Natalie’s first Spanish-language album, “Natalie Cole en Español” will be released June 25 via Verve/Universal.
