Cuban Singer David Blanco Offers Concerts in Central Cuba

Cuban singer David Blanco will offer a series of concerts until August 23 in the central province of Villa Clara, as part of a cultural initiative tailored for the ongoing summer season. The artist is performing this week in the municipalities of Santa Clara, Remedios, Santo Domingo, and Ranchuelo, alongside the local group Iwa Pelé, under the banner of the “Shared Concerts” project, one of the recreational activities of Summer 2026, according to the Provincial Directorate of Culture on its official social media profiles.

Blanco, who boasts an extensive performance record in Cuba and abroad—including concerts in Canada, Guatemala, Mexico, Chile, and other nations—kicked off his Villa Clara engagement with a show at El Mejunje, a cultural center renowned both nationally and internationally.

The “Shared Concerts” project has also featured presentations this year by other leading figures of Cuban music, such as saxophonist Germán Velazco. Velazco's career includes numerous international tours in Switzerland, Colombia, Panama, Mexico, and Japan, as well as membership in prominent bands including Irakere, NG La Banda, and Pablo Milanés's group.
