A legendary venue transformed into a summer festival
To speak of Rubén Blades is to speak of one of the most monumental figures in Latin culture. With a career spanning over 50 years, the Panamanian artist has transcended music to become an essential social chronicler. The ultimate benchmark of "intellectual salsa," Blades revolutionized the genre in the 1970s from New York, infusing lyrics with unprecedented political and poetic weight. Winner of 12 Grammy Awards and 10 Latin Grammys, his legacy includes masterpieces such as Siembra (the best-selling album in salsa history). A prestigious actor and activist, the "Poet of Salsa" returns to the stage to prove that his relevance and charisma are, like his classics, absolutely immortal.
