[5] 1958 proved to be an important year for Guillot, as she toured Europe for the first time, performing in Italy, France, Spain and Germany.

But Guillot opposed Fidel Castro's regime, and in 1962 she decided to leave Cuba for good and establish herself in Venezuela.

[2][5] During her career, she performed alongside superstars of music such as Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, and her close friend and fellow Cuban exile, the great Celia Cruz.

[7] Guillot continued touring for the next forty years, releasing over fifty albums and winning numerous awards for her achievements in the music world.

She is survived by one daughter, Olga Maria Touzet-Guillot, born from her relationship with pianist and composer, René Touzet.
