Mexico City, May 29 (RHC)-- Cuban singer-songwriter Silvio Rodríguez will perform a free concert on June 10th in Mexico City's Zócalo, according to an announcement in the newspaper Excelsior, which indicates that before that he will have two appearances at the National Auditorium.
José Merino, head of the Digital Agency for Public Innovation, was in charge of revealing that the singer of 'Ojalá' will perform on that date at the Zócalo and that Vivir Quintana will be in charge of opening the presentation at 7:00 p.m. local time on that day.
According to the newspaper, the official used a verse from the song "En estos días" written by the Cuban to share the poster: "I don't know, think about it... These days the sun does not rise, but your face. And in the deaf silence of time your eyes scream," Merino wrote on his Twitter account.
A few days ago, the head of the Mexico City government announced that the singer-songwriter would give a free concert in Mexico City as part of the economic reactivation plan in the country's capital. But the next day she apologized for bringing forward the free presentation of the troubadour before it was announced that he also had two dates at the Auditorio Nacional, and in view of her alleged mistake, she invited people to come and see him at the venue on Paseo de la Reforma.
It seems that the call had an effect, since according to the Excelsior article, the organizers of the event announced that Silvio has already completely filled one of his dates and has very little availability for the second one.
Founder of the Nueva Trova along with valuable Cuban singer-songwriters, some of them already deceased, Silvio Rodriguez is one of the most renowned foreign authors in Mexico.
He has performed here on several occasions and is greatly admired by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and his wife Beatriz Gutiérrez, who has a video clip of him singing the song El Necio shown on national television.
