The jazz artist will make a stop at the 24th edition of La Mar de Músicas, on his next tour.
The Cartagena festival, which has not yet released details of its programming, confirms that Gregory Porter will be in Cartagena after the singer announced the dates of his new tour.
Porter will pay homage to Nat King Cole, star of his latest album.
The tour will take you to other cities such as Madrid or Seville.
"The American, one of the best jazz singers of today, and an old acquaintance of our city, it was at La Mar de Músicas where he performed for the first time in Spain, will present Nat King Cole & Me, an album on which he will perform the songs that have marked him most of that singer and pianist who considers his musical father, "said the Councilor for Culture of the City of Cartagena, David Martinez.
Recorded with an orchestra of 70 musicians, under the direction of Vince Mendoza, the album brings together some of the greatest hits of Nat King Cole (1919-1965), such as' Smile ',' Mona Lisa ',' Nature Boy 'or' Pick Yourself up '.
"My father was very absent in my childhood and I think he filled that void with Nat's music and words." Somehow I heard lyrics like "Smile though your heart is aching" (Smile though your heart hurts), like fatherly advice and I could always find that tenderness and depth in Nat, "Porter revealed in a recent interview with the agency Efe.
