During the press conference that was held to share the details of this concert, Gabriel González, Vice Minister of Culture, noted that "Eternally... Pablo! It's a well-deserved tribute that Panama has prepared for the" Trovador de Trovadores "Pablo Milanés, who with his voice, his letters and his melodies had an impact on the lives of generations of Latin American and the world."

"Undoubtedly, some people never die and Pablo Milanes will continue to exist at the heart of those we enjoy, weep and laugh, sharing in tertulies, in conversations with life and among friends, the dreams of our times," Deputy Minister González.

According to Luis Arteaga, promoter of this initiative "this concert from Panama is to pay tribute to one of the figures that led me to seriously penetrate the world of song."

"I started as a professional artist in 1987 as an interpreter of the New Cuban Trova and the Spanish-American Song, with which I have been particularly committed since those convulsive years of the late 80s," added Arteaga.

Pablo Milanés, born in Cuba, was one of the great exponents of the Spanish-American song and founder of the New Cuban Trova, leaving a musical legacy of more than 230 songs, including "Yolanda," "That's how quiet" or "The brief space you aren't at," with which she earned world fame and that through her melodies many fell in love and mourned with her melodies.
