Rubén Blades & Roberto Delgado Big Band: Fotografías Tour

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. Silvana Estrada sings from down deep, telling her soulful coming-of-age stories in a voice that embraces the legacy of Latin American song and carries into the 21st century. Playing the Venezuelan cuatro guitar, she sings iconoclastic tales that cut straight to the heart. She’s performed and recorded with artists including Natalia Lafourcade (who, like Silvana, grew up outside Veracruz) as well as Andrew Bird, Devendra Banhart, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The 2022 Latin Grammy winner for Best New Artist released her second album Vendrán Suaves Lluvias in 2025 to great acclaim, including from Pitchfork, which said it “grapples with heartbreak, mourning, and the desperate necessity of forward motion.” See other concerts in this series Programs, artists, dates, prices, and availability subject to change.
