However, a couple of years had passed since their last performances: that Z\u00f3calo in Mexico City packed with over one hundred thousand people in the rain, and a heartwarming concert on the Isle of Youth in Cuba.

The tour ranges from beloved classics like \u201cTe amar\u00e9\u201d (I Will Love You) and \u201cCasiopea\u201d to recent, almost new pieces that pulse with the urgency of these times: \u201cCualquiera que nace en Cuba\u201d (Anyone Who Is Born in Cuba) and \u201cM\u00e1s Porvenir\u201d (More Future). The latter was written by Silvio based on conversations he shared with Pepe Mujica and his partner Luc\u00eda Topolansky.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Everyday life seeps into the notes. They aren\u2019t aliens: they\u2019re Cubans. And, as in any Cuban queue or home, it becomes inevitable at some point to talk about \u201cthe thing\u201d: \u201cMy house hasn\u2019t had water for three days\u201d; \u201cThe power went out twice last night\u201d; \u201cSleeping without a fan is hard.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 923px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ensayo-Kaloian-Santos-Cabrer-923x1366.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Kaloian.\u00a0\" width=\"923\" height=\"1366\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Kaloian.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Confessions also emerge. We learn that Silvio is capable of saving cockroaches from the flip-flop that condemns them to death. In fact, it happens to him with any insect or animal. The singer-songwriter smiles and remembers: \u201cThe first smack on the head I received was from my father when I was little because I freed a mouse from a trap at home.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">And after those moments of relaxation, the music takes over again. Then come moments of poignancy. For example, after performing Noel Nicola\u2019s \u201cEs m\u00e1s, te perdono\u201d (What\u2019s more, I Forgive You), silence falls over the room. We are all shaken. Silvio caresses the page with the lyrics, whispers, \u201cThis is Nobel Prize-winning,\u201d and then recites the verses aloud. A collective sigh rippled through the studio.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1366px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ensayo-Kaloian-Santos-Cabrera-3-1366x966.jpg\" alt=\"\u201cThe first smack on the head I received was from my father when I was little because I freed a mouse from a trap at home.\u201d\u00a0\" width=\"1366\" height=\"966\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u201cThe first smack on the head I received was from my father when I was little because I freed a mouse from a trap at home.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Other scenes unfold in this rehearsal setting. The youngest of the group takes advantage of the pauses when she doesn\u2019t take part to open a book. Between her father\u2019s guitar and her mother\u2019s flute, Malva holds an old edition of <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">One Hundred Years of Solitude<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, a green hardcover with gold lettering. While \u201cLa era\u2026\u201d plays, the pianist, now a reader, is immersed in the Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez universe. Perhaps entranced by the impossible inventions of Jos\u00e9 Arcadio Buend\u00eda, with that obsession with alchemy and science.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1136px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ensayo-Kaloian-Santos-Cabrera-7-1136x1366.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Kaloian.\u00a0\" width=\"1136\" height=\"1366\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Kaloian.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The analogy, then, is compelling: this small studio, full of imagination, talent and good vibes, has a Macondo side. Here, the extraordinary becomes naturalized and the impossible is told \u2014 or sung, played and sounded \u2014 with the same intensity with which life unfolds. And one wonders, as the music and songs embrace my photographs, if this isn\u2019t definitely how wonder was conceived.<\/span><span
