“What we’re considering doing is putting together a performing-arts project that would be presenting my grandfather’s original compositions set to actors and actresses acting out the story of their love and their life and traveling from the Dominican Republic to New York,” Herrero says. “My mom, thank God, had my grandmother interviewed when she was about 95 years old to capture her life story, so we have all these details about everything. It’s the most beautiful, romantic stuff.
Herrero’s own fascination with music, especially blues, began when he was in military school in his teens. He and his friends would listen to Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and other rock bands. “I started digging further back and began understanding that those bands’ influences were artists like Albert King and Muddy Waters,” he says. “And then, going even further back, to Robert Johnson and Lead Belly. I don’t know, it just kind of got me.
