Event Details
The immensely popular Cuban singer-songwriter Carlos Varela has dedicated his 30-year music career to expressing "the problems of my people." His poetic lyrics speak to the promise and pain of Cuba across generations, with complex emotion and powerful imagery. His message has been banned and censored by Cuban authorities, but his songs, like 2000's "Una Palabra," continue to resonate around the world. Part of TD Jazz Series.
