You can read my full concert report here, including six videos of Pablo and two of opening act Andrés Suárez. If you don't have time for that right now, I leave you with one of the most beautiful songs in the Spanish language: "Si ella me faltara alguna vez".

Despite prejudices in what was then an all-male industry, Anacaona developed a following and at the height of their popularity, they performed in New York, Europe and Mexico.

Anacaona

Eighty-one years later Anacaona is still releasing hit songs, although the band has a younger look and modern musical style. Congratulations Anacaona!
