Renowned singer-songwriter Silvio Rodríguez has announced a tour across five South American countries later this year, sharing the news in an Instagram post on Thursday (April 10).
“Hey, friends! I’m Silvio Rodríguez, and I just wanted to share this quick message to announce an upcoming tour through Latin America,” he said in the video. “It’ll be in five countries, running from late September to early November of 2025. The countries, in this order, are Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Peru and Colombia. That’s all for now! We’re really excited about this, and I hope you all are too. Thank you so much.”
This marks his first performances outside of Cuba since 2022, when he gave concerts in Mexico — including one in Mexico City’s Zócalo before an audience of 100,000. The announcement also sets his return to South America after last touring the region in 2018 with concerts in Chile and Argentina.
The nueva trova artist will be joined on tour by Emilio Vega (vibraphone), Jorge Aragón and Malva Rodríguez (piano), Niurka González (flute and clarinet), Jorge Reyes (double bass), Rachid López (guitar), Maykel Elizarde (tres guitar) and Oliver Valdés (drums), according to Cuba Noticias 360.
His most recent release, Quería Saber — his 21st studio album — was released last June.
Silvio Rodríguez is a pioneer of la nueva trova, a music movement that emerged in Cuba in the late 1960s blending poetic lyrics with social and political themes. One of his most recognizable hits include “Ojalá,” “Quien Fuera,” “Te Doy Una Canción” and many more. His profound storytelling and evocative melodies have inspired generations, establishing him as one of Latin America’s most iconic and influential artists.
