Bilingual singer / songwriter Jessi Campo is celebrating the release of her new collection of slow, romantic Cuban standards, her 6th overall release titled Boleros on Friday, April 17, 2026 at the Books & Books Coral Gables (265 Aragon Ave, Coral Gables, FL 33134). The new collection brings new life to the golden era of Boleros, performing classic 1960s repertoire alongside original songs that honor her Cuban heritage and her father’s musical legacy as a performer in Cuba and New York. The event is free with RSVP here.
“I’m thrilled to be able to share the music that continues to inspire and storytell everything I do,” says Campo. “I can only hope to continue in my father’s footsteps and further champion the cause of Cuban music through this release.” Her father Giovanni was an exceptional entertainer from the golden era of music who shared stages with musical colleagues like Beny More, Tito Puente and Perez Prado.
This Boleros album reunites Campo after 10 years with producer Jose Velasquez, who produced and arranged La Pasion de la Lupe in 2016. On this release they create a signature combo of covers in Campos’ soulful, jazzy style. The new collection covers much musical ground, and includes two original compositions, “Porque Me Haces Falta”, and “Tan Sola”.
The new single and video for the classic “Y Hoy Como Ayer” (originally written by Pedro Vega) and is now streaming on all platforms though Sony Orchard. The show is free and open to all ages, with the music beginning at 7:30 p.m. Additional album standouts include the bolero ranchero “La Gloria Eres Tu” by Cuban composer Jose Antonio Mendez, and “Esta Tarde Vi Volver” from Yucatan, Mexico’s Armando Manzanero.
The traditional bolero “Esperame en el Cielo”, written by Puerto Rico’s Paquito Lopez Vidal, is recorded as a duet with Jessi’s mom Nina Campo. She was also an actress and singer from the 1960’s who also performed as a powerhouse duo act called Giovanni and Nina.
In the world of international music, artist, actress, producer, and bilingual singer / songwriter Campo stands as a radiant force, enchanting audiences across continents with her magnificent performances that mesmerize her audiences. She’s been compared to Etta James, Lisa Stansfield, and La Lupe, has placed her music on Netflix and Amazon Prime movies, and now brings new life to the golden era of boleros.
On stage, her presence is akin to a celestial beacon, radiating an irresistible blend of artistry, vocal prowess, and sheer entertainment, illuminating every soul in her audience like the warm touch of sunlight. Jessi Campo isn’t just a performer; she’s an experience – a symphony of passion and talent that leaves an indelible mark on all who bear witness. The native New Yorker credits her mother’s upbringing and birthplace for her sense of style, glamour and understanding of what it takes to be in show business.
The intimate evening will feature a live ensemble with guitar, piano, and percussion with Reniel Tabares, Raul Amorin, and Paul O’Donnell in a romantic, vintage-inspired setting. The album is now streaming on all platforms through Alternativa Representa and Sony Orchard Mexico. Press kit and music links available upon request.
