Silvio Rodríguez Domínguez (born 29 November 1946) 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.[1] Known for his intellectual, highly eloquent and symbolic lyrics, his songs are iconic elements of Latin American left-leaning popular 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”. He has released over 20 albums.
