It was a new song movement that spoke to a generation not only in Cuba but throughout the Spanish-speaking world about resistance, fighting oppression, raising social consciousness and love.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPablo Milan\u00e9s is one of the greatest Cuban artists of all times,\u201d writes Pablo Men\u00e9ndez (the iconic guitarist\/bandleader of Mezcla, and a friend of Milan\u00e9s), from Havana, Cuba. \u201cHe was a bridge between earlier (musical) styles and one of the main creators of the Nueva Trova. He also bridged genres of Son, Jazz, Filin (feeling), Trova, Rock and Afro-Cuban music. His songs are part of the soundtrack of generations of Cubans.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"PABLO MILANES - Yolanda (80&#039;s)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ryw3HklB6ko?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Born in Bayamo, Cuba, on February 24, 1943, he was six years old when his family moved to Havana in the 1950s. Pablo began formal musical studies at the prestigious Municipal Conservatory, but he always said he learned the most singing on the streets and in nightclubs. He began to perform at the age of 15 and was considered a bohemian hanging around musicians and singers who sang the jazzy boleros described as \u201cFilin\u201d (Feeling).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outspoken, Milan\u00e9s was incarcerated in 1965 for criticizing the Fidel Castro-led Cuban regime and was sent to do military service in a work camp for anti-socials. He escaped and was imprisoned again before he found his place in the arts. In 1969, Milan\u00e9s and Silvio Rodriguez formed the pioneer, Grupo De Experimentaci\u00f3n Sonora del Icaic, and ushered in the Nueva Trova, considered the unofficial music of the Cuban Revolution. It gave life to a new musical language of poetic expression and diverse musical influences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Grupo De Experimentacion Sonora Del ICAIC - La Historia\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/33yP5VQxRek?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With themes of love and social consciousness, they struck a chord that spoke to the oppressed conditions throughout Mexico, Latin America and around the world and were considered the cultural ambassadors of Fidel Castro. Pablo Men\u00e9ndez was a teenager when he joined the pioneer, Grupo De Experimentaci\u00f3n Sonora, and recalls the impact the group had.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor many years in the \u201870s, Pablo\u2019s songs were part of the Cuban Music passed clandestinely among young people in Spain during the Franco fascist dictatorship, as well as in Argentina, while it was under the military junta. When Spain\u2019s dictator Franco died, I was part of a tour in Spain with the Grupo de Experimentacion Sonora with Pablo as one of the lead singers that ended with a concert in Madrid that was totally sold out, and around two thousand people outside battling with riot police.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Packing auditoriums and stadiums in Latin America and Europe the Nueva Trova Cubana caught the ear of the transnational recording companies. In 1973, Pablo Milan\u00e9s made his first recordings and songs like his iconic piece, \u201cYolanda\u201d and \u201cYo Me Quedo\u201d, became anthems to his legions of fans. But his revolutionary spirit and creativity went beyond his own verses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c(Pablo) had a brilliant talent for setting poems to music like the verses of Jose Marti, the diary of Ho Chi Minh, and writing great songs for Ho Chi Minh and Angela Davis,\u201d adds Menendez.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I remember his Song for Latin American Unity, and his song about the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile, (as well as) &#8216;Yo pisar\u00e9 las calles nuevamente&#8217; (I will walk the streets once again), as much as his most famous love songs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Yo Pisar\u00e9 Las Calles Nuevamente\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RcM_IzY7T1s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe success of Silvio and Pablo is the success of the revolution,\u201d Fidel Castro proclaimed in 1982 at a reception held to honor Rodriguez and Milan\u00e9s and the Nueva Trova Cubana they co-founded. While Milan\u00e9s remained loyal to the Cuban Revolution he used his celebrity status to push for social reforms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is estimated Pablo Milan\u00e9s released more than 40 albums as a solo artist with numerous collaborations around the world in his five-decade-long career. He won two Latin Grammy Awards in 2006 for his album, \u201cComo Un Campo De Maiz\u201d (Like A Cornfield), and for \u201cAM\/PM, Lineas Paralelas\u201d (AM\/PM, Parallel lines), a collaboration with Puerto Rican salsa singer Andy Montanez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also won numerous Cuban honors including the Alejo Carpentier medal in 1982 and the National Music Prize in 2005, and the 2007 Haydee Santamaria medal from the Casa de las Americas for his contributions to Latin American culture.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"504\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Pablo-Milanes_El-Tecolote_September-1987_Victoria-Sanchez-de-Alba_web.jpeg?resize=504%2C480&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54043\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Pablo-Milanes_El-Tecolote_September-1987_Victoria-Sanchez-de-Alba_web.jpeg?resize=504%2C480&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 504w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Pablo-Milanes_El-Tecolote_September-1987_Victoria-Sanchez-de-Alba_web.jpeg?resize=262%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 262w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Pablo-Milanes_El-Tecolote_September-1987_Victoria-Sanchez-de-Alba_web.jpeg?resize=768%2C732&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Pablo-Milanes_El-Tecolote_September-1987_Victoria-Sanchez-de-Alba_web.jpeg?resize=400%2C381&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Pablo-Milanes_El-Tecolote_September-1987_Victoria-Sanchez-de-Alba_web.jpeg?w=1000&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 504px) 100vw, 504px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pablo Milan\u00e9s performs at San Francisco Davies Symphony Hall in August of 1987.
