Kenny Barron, Christian McBride, Carolina Calvache, Fred Hersch, Regina Carter, Arturo O’Farill, and Russell Malone each join Claudia in the studio for intimate duets. Seven of the songs on DUO come from composers hailing from Chile, Cuba, Argentina, and Mexico, and one from the great Chick Corea. The final track is Acuna’s sole original composition, and speaks of her rela- tionship with Mother Earth.
