As part of the Days of Light tour, with which he is currently traveling through theaters in Spain and which has also taken him to stages in the United States, Pablo Milanés will perform on June 21 at the Sala Avellaneda of the National Theater in Havana, the singer-songwriter announced on social networks.

With the announced concert, the author of classics of Cuban and universal song such as Yolanda, Para vivir and El breve espacio en que no estás returns to Cuban stages after two years of absence.

His last performances were a concert in 2018 at the Karl Marx theater dedicated to the 500th anniversary of Havana, and then, at the end of 2019, a recital with his daughter Haydée at the National Museum of Fine Arts.

Pablo, 79 years old and author of more than 400 songs and half a hundred albums over a career spanning six decades, is one of the most recognized figures in Hispanic-American song and one of the leading figures of the Cuban Nueva Trova movement, along with others such as Silvio Rodríguez, Noel Nicola, Vicente Feliú and Sara González.

On his official website, regarding the Days of Light tour, it states that it is "a staging with an intimate and reflective format with which he wants to open a new horizon, so necessary in these times, based on a more spiritual and at the same time hopeful reflection".

Pablo, with some of the most intimate and poetic lyrics and one of the best voices in Spanish song, has addressed a wide diversity of genres of Cuban and American music, from tradition to modernity and from filin to new song, passing through jazz, rumba, son and bolero.
