Silvio Rodríguez performs in Spain amid planned protests against Cuba blockade
Cuban singer-songwriter Silvio Rodríguez is performing in Spain as part of a 2026 tour. His recent appearance in Zaragoza at the Pabellón Príncipe Felipe drew a large audience for a night of trova music.
In Bilbao, Rodríguez’s upcoming performance at the Palacio Euskalduna has become a focal point for political activism. Local collectives, including Euskal Herria Kuba Ekimena, Hegoak, and Euskadi Cuba, have organized a demonstration titled ‘Ojalá… Kuba Blokeorik Gabe’. The march is set to begin at the Guggenheim Museum and proceed to the concert venue to protest the economic and energy blockade imposed by the United States against Cuba.
Protesters aim to highlight the humanitarian impact of US policies, claiming they have led to shortages of medicine, increased infant mortality, and severe utility outages in Cuba.
