Silvio Rodríguez

Born: 29th November 1946, San Antonio de los Baños, Havana, Cuba

Nationality: Cuban

Silvio Rodríguez Domínguez is a Cuban musician, and leader of the Nueva Trova movement.

He is widely considered Cuba's best folk singer and arguably one of Latin America's greatest singer-songwriters. Known for his intellectual, highly eloquent and symbolic lyrics, his songs are iconic elements of Latin American left-leaning intellectual culture. Many of his songs have become classics in Latin American music, such as "Ojalá", "Playa Girón", "Unicornio", "Sueño con Serpientes", "Vamos a andar," and "La maza". Among his other well-known songs are political anthems like "Fusil contra fusil" and "Canción del Elegido", and poetic melodies like "A donde van" and "Noche sin fin y mar".
