"Rodolfo was the one who discovered me when I had just arrived from Miami to New York in the 90s. I started my professional career with him, and without his support, I wouldn't have come this far in my musical career. It's beautiful that after so many years, we continue creating together and have become like family."
At the same time, in "Bendita Cuba," Elsten's most important musical influences such as guaguancó, guaracha, and timba can be glimpsed. Elsten Torres is a pioneer of the Latin Alternative Rock movement that emerged in the late 90s in the United States and is one of the leading voices in the bilingual artistic community of South Florida. The most important lesson he has learned throughout his years of career is to be humble, not to believe that he is better or more talented, but simply to showcase what makes him different. Elsten Torres believes that his greatest quality is being able to convey what he feels in his heart and that inspiration doesn't have to be sought far away; it only requires opening one's eyes to discover new songs.
