[2] His musical interest led him to later share the stage with jazz musicians such as Carles Benavent, Josep Mas "Kitflus", Jorge Pardo, Max Sunyer and Vlady Bas.
In the summer of 2003, Tito Duarte was producing the solo edition of his album La herencia del viejo sabor (Fundación Autor, 2004), a journey through the mambo, danzón and other historical forms of Cuban music, with performances by instrumentalists such as Jorge Pardo, Pepe Ébano, Vicente Borland, Víctor Merlo, Horacio Icasto and Luis Dulzaides and the voices of singers that Tito Duarte had previously joined: Moncho, Miguel Bosé, Lucrecia, Reinaldo Craig or Ángela Carrasco.
He had committed himself to sing the song Suavecito, but the day before the recording he died suddenly in Córdoba with the album almost finished, so it was published as a tribute.
[1] When he died at the age of 56 in Córdoba, he was involved in the live show of Sueños de ida y vuelta, the flamenco project of Víctor Monge "Serranito", at the Cordoba Guitar Festival.
[4] After his death he has been remembered and featured many times on Spanish Radio 3, the popular public music channel of that country, in many programs such as Discópolis,[5] Sonideros[6] and Trópico Utópico.
