Ruben Blades Live in London
I saw Ruben Blades many years ago at some latin festival on 3 Mills Island when Celia Cruz, Oscar D’leon, Alfredo de la Fe and Side Steppers were playing. I also recall it was Ruben Blades Birthday.
Having seen Ruben live I would reccomend him highly, he is very much of the thinking man’s salsa, a lot of his songs have social and political tones and musically he would like to venture into a more Jazz influenced form of educated salsa.
His most famous song has to be Pedro Navaja which has help give Ruben Blades a god like status, the song itself is practically a Latin American Anthem, ask any Latino, and he will know the song, it’s lyrics and who wrote it. The song is as big as its gets.
Expect everyone to sing this song
