Skirball Talks: Rubén Blades in Conversation with Professor Carlos Chirinos, NYU Steinhardt

Rubén Blades will discuss his stunning legacy of advocating for social change throughout his musical, artistic, and political career—which includes a five-year term as Panama’s Minister for Tourism and a run for the presidency of the Republic of Panama—and the future of Latin music. This conversation builds upon the momentum of the documentary Yo No Me Llamo Rubén Blades (Rubén Blades is Not My Name)—to be released on HBO—which explores Blades’ life and career and opened last month in theaters across Latin America.

Co-sponsored by NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development.

Held weekly every Monday at 6:30pm during the academic terms,  Skirball Talks hosts visionaries from the worlds of politics, the arts, sciences, academia, and more. This event is free and open to the public.
