So that when I came from Panama... my family was exiled in 1973 and they went to Miami.
From Ruben Blades
It doesn't make sense for me to be a lawyer in a place where there is no law.
We had something to say. Whenever we played, people didn't dance, they listened.
People are a lot smarter than anyone gives them credit for being.
I didn't do drugs, I never did do drugs. Never. I don't have any story of drugs, you know, to speak of. Never did drugs, never was interested in drugs and then I wasn't interested in the people around the drugs.
A lot of times you're just conditioned by what's around you.
There's something about the tango that brings even more emotion out of the lyrics.
Tango was very popular in Panama at the time when I was growing up. In the Fifties in Panama, the radio stations played all types of music.
I was born in Panama, the Republic of Panama, on July 16, 1948 in Panama City, in an area called San Felipe.
What is interesting in this is the exchange of music that occurred between New Orleans and Cuba, I mean, they had ferries that would go from one port to another.
