Cuban singer-songwriter Pablo Milanés will resume his “Esencia” tour with a concert on August 25 at the Frigiliana 3 Culturas festival, in the Spanish city of Málaga, where he will be a headliner.
The musician undertook the tour last year and has performed in numerous stages in Europe, the United States and Latin America, where the public has enjoyed his return.
In a brief dialogue with OnCuba, the singer-songwriter said he was grateful to the spectators who have attended his concerts and sung with him his great classics.
“I am very satisfied with the result of the tour and the reception of the public which has warmly applauded my songs,” said the musician, author of anthological themes such as “Yolanda” and “El breve espacio en que no estás.”
In the next few days, Milanés plans to give another nine concerts as part of his tour that will close in Spain and Mexico on a date yet to be confirmed, revealed his representative and wife, Nancy Pérez Rey.
Pablo Milanés, 76, is in a fruitful creative stage and continues to defend his songs on the international circuit with a voice of impressive vitality.
