Silvio will reunite with his Uruguayan audience tonight, 12 years after his last concert.

This time there will be two concerts, at the Antel Arena in Montevideo, a modern complex with a capacity for more than 10,000 people. The second concert will be on Saturday, October 18.

The day before, Rodriguez visited Lucia Topolansky, widow of former President Jose Mujica, to whom he dedicated the song “Mas porvenir” months before his death.

This was part of a project launched by Argentine Leon Gieco called “Una cancion para Pepe.”

“Dear Pepe, this is my greeting from Cuba to you and Lucia. I composed these verses in 2009, when I heard you say some things, and a few days ago I finished them, motivated by the call of our beloved Leon Gieco.

A big hug,” the Cuban said in a video.

The tour began on the steps of the University of Havana and includes visits to Peru and Colombia through November.

That month, the 27th annual gathering of fans of the singer-songwriter’s music, the “cosmic troupe,” as the founder of the Cuban Nueva Trova Movement called it, will take place in Uruguay.

The gathering will be in Montevideo and Maldonado between November 22 and 29.

On that last day, his followers gathered here will celebrate the 79th birthday of the man who let the “Blue Unicorn” escape, an eternally young fable for more than one generation in Cuba and beyond.
