#709 - Hugo Duarte The Hugo Duarte Interview is featured on The Paul Leslie Hour We have an interview from the archives with Hugo Duarte: a singer, songwriter and musician of great talent who has since passed away. This interview was recorded down in Key West, Florida at the Hog's Breath Saloon, and was originally broadcast several years ago. Hugo Duarte had just come out with his album “Don’t Be Fooled By the Hat.” Paul had hoped there would be another interview with Hugo sometime along with some in-studio performances, but that never materialized. Born in Greenville, South Carolina in 1955, Hugo resided in Wilmington, North Carolina, where he passed away in 2014. Although Hugo Duarte performed in many places, he was a regular on the Key West music scene, playing some of the most famed venues, both as a solo performer and with his musicians in The Full Sail Band. Hugo Duarte was an exceptional storyteller, he was really one of the best. A lot of his songs were historical in nature. Hugo was a photographer, golfer and Civil War history buff, it’s hard even describing him succinctly. If you ever had the chance to see him live, you never forgot that. This interview was somewhat brief, but it’s our sincere hope that it inspires you to find his albums. Here it is folks, a rare interview with Hugo Duarte.
