Renowned Colombian singer Juanes, one of the icons of Latin pop rock, will offer a mega-concert in Havana next September 20th, as confirmed by sources of the Cuban Music Institute (ICM).
Speaking to Granma newspaper, ICM vice president Osmany Lopez said that the popular Colombian singer, winner of five Latin Grammy awards in 2008 for his CD 'La vida es un ratico' (Life is Just a Short While), is very excited about this concert that will be dedicated to peace.
The white color will mark Juanes's presentation in Cuba as a symbolic element and he will be accompanied by a group of Latin American artists still to be determined, Lopez added.
The ICM vice president announced that Juanes will also share the stage with Cuban singer song-writer Silvio Rodriguez and with the renowned group 'Los Van Van' in an open plaza that has not been chosen yet. Meanwhile, Susana Llorente, head of the ICM Foreign Relations Department, said that the idea of the concert was suggested by Juanes himself.
"He presented the project to us and we welcomed it with a lot of interest," she explained.
"Juanes is very happy to be able to sing to the Cuban people and to dedicate this concert in Cuba entirely to peace. He wants it to be an event of solidarity, love and affection," she added.
Colombian musician Juan Esteban Aristizabal, 36, known as Juanes, visited Havana last June. Then, he toured the old part of the city and met with Silvio Rodriguez and with authorities of the Cuban Music Institute.
Recently, Juanes said he wants to dedicate this concert to the International Day of Peace on September 21. "On that occasion, we want to go to Cuba, to celebrate it from there," he commented.
