The intellect of salsa and the voice of a continent

To speak of Rubén Blades is to make it one of the most monumental figures of Latin culture. With more than 50 years of career, the Panamanian has transcended music to become an essential social chronicler. An absolute referent of “intellectual sauce”, Blades revolutionized the genre in the 70s from New York, endowing the lyrics with an unprecedented political and poetic charge. Winner of 12 Grammy Awards and 10 Latin Grammys, his legacy includes masterpieces such as Siembra (the best-selling album in salsa history). Prestigious actor and activist, the “Poeta de la Salsa” returns to the stages to show that his validity and his charisma are, like his classics, absolutely immortal.
