Renowned singer and songwriter Pablo Milanes will perform on January 20, 2011, at the Provisional Square of the Revolution of Pinar del Rio as part of a national tour started last November in the eastern provinces of the island.

After some international commitments, the author of the famous song Yolanda, will retake the second part of the tour with one of the presentations in the westernmost territory of Cuba planned for late January.

Milanes will sing in Pinar del Rio for the first time and after 22 years without playing in provincial stages.

Natacha García, director of Communication of the Cuban Institute of Music (ICM) said in a press conference that open spaces like the aforementioned Square have been chosen so that "everybody has the possibility to listen to him".

This is the first time the local audience will enjoy the music of Pablo Milanes live, and there are a lot of expectations since he is one of the most prolific artists of the country.

Pablo Milanes himself came up with the idea of the tour, together with the Ministry of Culture and PM Records Office.

Milanes is regarded along with Silvio Rodriguez and Noel Nicola, as one of the best exponents of the Nueva Trova and has recorded some 40 albums.
