Editor's note

Raul Malo's warm voice and Cuban-country blend

The Mavericks frontman brings Miami's Cuban music heritage to Nashville's sound.

For a quick sense of his range, try 'At Last' and 'Cold, Cold Heart.' Both show how he can take a standard and make it feel like his own story.

Malo's voice has that particular warmth that can handle both country ballads and holiday standards. You hear it on 'At Last' and 'Blue Christmas', songs that feel lived-in, not just performed. He's one of those singers who makes the familiar sound fresh again, probably because he grew up hearing Cuban music at home and never left it behind.

He started his first band as a teenager, calling it The Mavericks. In the early 1990s, that band began to find an audience mixing country with those Cuban influences. After a hiatus in the late 1990s where he worked on solo material, The Mavericks reunited in 2003 and released another well-received album.

Archive material and source history

Raul Malo was born in Miami in 1965 and grew up hearing Cuban music at home. He started his first band as a teenager, calling it The Mavericks. In the early 1990s, that band began to find an audience with a sound that mixed country with those Cuban influences he'd absorbed.

With The Mavericks, Malo sang lead and wrote most of the songs. The band went on hiatus for a few years in the late 1990s, during which time Malo worked on solo material.

He has recorded songs like 'At Last' and 'Cold, Cold Heart,' and his voice carries a particular warmth that suits both country ballads and holiday tunes like 'Blue Christmas.' The Mavericks reunited in 2003 and released another self-titled album that was well received.
