When salsa took over New York City—and then the world—in the 1970s, Rubén Blades was at the heart of it. His landmark albums in classic Afro-Cuban salsa are touched with rock, jazz, and influences from across Latin America and around the world. The 12-time Grammy and 13-time Latin Grammy winner brings a political conscience and sense of connection to his music that still gets people grooving; just ask the rock, reggaeton, hip-hop, and salsa artists who call him an inspiration today. The Panamanian legend returns with Roberto Delgado & Orquestra, presenting his latest production, Fotografías, and hits from across his career.
