“The most famous tenor of all times from Argentina, Luis Lima, a guy that would be sent in to replace Placido Domingo, singing together with his daughter Camila for the first time ever in concert,” Folguera said. “We are really fortunate that he heard about our little Santa Barbara events and wants to do one with his daughter, Camila Lima.
“I am related to all this through my brother Ruy Folguera, who will be accompanying them at the piano. There will be no dancing (which is perfect because of COVID), but incredible music.”
