Manuel González Hernández, better known as Manolin ” El Medico de la Salsa ” will perform at last on Friday November 29 in La Cecilia, in what will be his first major concert in Cuba after his final return to the island.
Initially the presentation was scheduled for November 9 , coinciding with the closing of the Havana International Trade Fair , but due to problems with documentation of the popular Cuban musician , he had to suspend it .
Resolved difficulties, Manolin will perform with Pachito Alonso and his orchestra, in an encounter in which he will sing some of their most popular themes and other recent creations.
The musician is convinced that the connection with the audience is still intact, although he hasn’t played here since the early 90s.
“It will be wonderful, I’m sure. I also know that I have to play the songs as usual because people want to remember and those who didn’t live it want the experience. I always dreamed of that, but will be more spectacular than I imagined, “he said in an interview with this website in October.
Manolín, 48, decided to return to Cuba after living for more than a decade in Miami.
“I will devote all I have left of life to make music for my country and for the world, but from my country,” he wrote on his Facebook page.
“The Doctor of Salsa” has some international commitments in the coming months, but he plans presentations in other Cuban cities
