Pablo Milanés’ last concert in Havana, in the sports city, was marked by the emotion of the public and the obstacles that had to be raffled for their realization. “That was amazing for the response and affection of the public. I remember that he called me to ask me if I could do a concert in Havana. Of course I started looking for places. ”
“Some did their best because it did not happen, because they did not happen and tried to boycott it in an incredible way and then what happened in the National Theater happened. People protested because they were initially scheduled in that place where there were just their followers. And then it went to the sports city. In the concert everyone showed incredible respect. It was expected that at some point people would protest, but everyone was listening to the concert with great attention and the same love that they always manifested. Also imagining that it was his last concert in Cuba. That was too exciting. There were many very humble people who hadn’t listened to it for many years and could see it. It also caught my attention because it did not take the band. Sound was very acoustic and everything was wonderful. The complicity with his audience, with the people who had gone to listen to him was extraordinary. It was very big, ”Lynn recalled.
