// Rubén Blades
Rubén Blades, born in Panama City, Panama on 16 July 1948 and brought up by a middle class family to be a lawyer, would end up as one of the most important figures in Latin music in the twentieth century. His keen political awareness and incredible song-writing talent led him naturally to create a new style - that of social Salsa, music that spoke of global issues and social problems. When asked to describe his own work, he would reply 'music journalism' or 'urban chronicle'.
