talk of their history.

This event is made for people who are interested in Latin American culture, for those
who wants to know beyond “Cinco de Mayo” (the only words they know of a profane

Blades is a Panamanian singer, songwriter, actor, musician, activist, and politician, per-

RUBEN BLADES
forming musically most often in the Afro-Cuban, salsa, and Latin jazz genres. As a song-
writer, Blades brought the lyrical sophistication of Central American nueva canción and Cu-
ban nueva trova as well as experimental tempos and politically inspired Nuyorican salsa
to his music, creating “thinking persons’ (salsa) dance music”. Blades has written dozens
of hit songs, including “Pedro Navaja”, “El Cantante” (which became Héctor Lavoe’s signa-
ture song), and “Patria”, which many Panamanians consider their second national anthem.

SILVIO
the nueva trova movement. He is widely considered Cuba’s best folk singer and arguably
one of Latin America’s greatest singer-songwriters.[1] Known for his intellectual, highly
eloquent and symbolic lyrics, his songs are iconic elements of Latin American left-leaning
intellectual culture. Rodríguez, musically and politically, is a symbol of the Latin American

RODRIGUEZ
left. His lyrics are notably introspective, while his songs combine romanticism, eroticism,
existentialism, revolutionary politics and idealism. As a humanist, his songs often bespeak
a secular worldview, where humanity must make the best of this world.
