Pablo Milanés

Pablo Milanés Arias (born in Bayamo, Cuba, on 24 February 1943; died 22 November 2022)) was a Cuban singer-songwriter and guitarist. He studied at a conservatory in Havana. Considered one of the founders of the Cuban nueva trova (along with Silvio Rodríguez and Noel Nicola), his music, originating in the Trova, Son and other traditional styles of early 20th Century Cuban music, set him apart from the style of Silvio Rodríguez. While fully supportive of the Cuban Revolution, Milanés was critical of some aspects of the Cuban regime.
