For the first time, singer-songwriter Carlos Varela will embark on a nationwide tour of Cuba to celebrate the 85th anniversary of the Federation of University Students (FEU).

The author of Jalisco Park and Como los peces begins his tour on Sunday September 9, at the Pedro Perez Plaza in Cubas far eastern province of Guantanamo.

Varela told reporters he was excited about the opportunity offered by the Cuban Institute of Music, the Young Communist League and the FEU, with support from government authorities in each province where he will take his thought provoking repertory.
