(Prensa Latina)  San Juan, Puerto Rico - Touring the world to sow the seeds of Cuban music, the Cuban duet Gema y Pável returns to the stage, bringing a recital to the Puerto Rico Art Museum´s Raul Julia Hall, November 26.

In a concert sponsored by Producciones Febea, Gema Corredera and Pavel Urquiza will play a gig revisiting the repertoire they have been playing since they joined in 1990.

Their latest double album Art Bembe (2003), the fourth in the Madrid-based duet´s discography, includes a repertoire which pays tribute to Cuban music while fuses it to jazz, funk, feeling and flamenco.

Moreover, Gema and Pavel not only collaborate as singers and producers in the works by artists such as Ketama, Pedro Guerra, La Union, Omara Portuondo and the members of the music project Habana Abierta, but also participate in the soundtracks of the films Guantanamera (1995) and Perdona bonita, pero Lucas me querra a mí (1997).
