At Town Hall
Pablo Milanes, Cuban singer-songwriter and guitar player and one of the founders of the Cuban nueva trova, along with Silvio Rodríguez and Noel Nicola. His music, originating in the Trova, Son and other traditional styles of early 20th Century Cuban music, set him apart from the style of Silvio Rodríguez. Within the context of the nueva trova, which was the unofficial musical style of the Cuban Revolution, Pablo is widely considered one of the closest to the traditional roots of Cuban music, while being open to diverse musical influences from other contemporary traditions, such as Brazilian music and blues. The range of his compositions extends from starkly political anthems to inspired love songs. He has also set the poems of Cuban writers such as José Martí and Nicolás Guillén to music. Today as Cuba sees the Biggest Protests for decades as pandemia adds to woes you cannot miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to see Pablo Milanes play all his hits and also see him embracing a new tour “Dias de Luz” with new compositions.
