Silvio Rodríguez and Vicente Feliú will sing to Luis Eduardo Aute

September 20, 2018

Stars of international and Cuban music will unite in concert to wish many happy returns and "encouragement, animal" to singer-songwriter and poet Luis Eduardo Aute, who has just turned 75 years old.

Among them are Silvio Rodríguez and Vicente Feliú, as well as Ana Belén, Joan Manuel Serrat, Joaquín Sabina, Dani Martín, Jorge Drexler, José Mercé and Miguel Poveda Belén.

The Ánimo Animal concert will take place on December 10th at the Wizink Center in Madrid and will also celebrate 50 years of Aute's musical career, catalogued as one of the most complete artists of our time.

During the concert, his bandmates and old friends will gather alongside him, including Cubans Silvio Rodríguez and Vicente Feliú.

The truth is that Aute and the author of "Ojalá" are very good friends and have shared the stage on repeated occasions. Almost two decades ago they toured ten Spanish cities and recorded the album Mano a Mano.

About his friendship with Silvio, in an interview given to El País, the musician from Manila (Philippines) confessed:

"What unites us is our passion for activity, the desire we have to talk about everything. And, above all, I have an enormous and deep admiration for his songs, which are him (…) Two friends who seek excuses to meet and sing".

Since suffering, approximately two years ago, a heart attack that kept him in a coma for 48 days, Aute has received tremendous support from his colleagues, although it is the concert on December 10th in which more of his professional peers will pay him tribute.
