Colombian singer Juanes took a stroll through the streets of this capital on Thursday where he was recognized by dozens of Cubans, and he chatted with them, posed for photos and gave autographs.Juanes arrived in Cuba on Wednesday on a private visit, sources at the Cuban Music Institute confirmed to Efe.
On Thursday morning, the singer went out to take a walk through Havana’s historic downtown and was unable to remain unrecognized.
“People recognized (him) on the street, photos were taken, he gave autographs, he spoke a lot with the people who stopped him,” an expert with the Havana Historian’s Office who accompanied Juanes on his stroll told Efe.
Juanes spent two hours visiting various museums and colonial squares in the Cuban capital’s picturesque historic center, taking an interest in the restoration work being carried out on the oldest part of the city.
The Colombian singer, 36, won a Grammy this year for best Latino pop album for “La vida... es un ratico.”
Juanes is the founder of the “Mi Sangre” foundation, which focuses attention on the victims of the conflict in Colombia and – in particular – on children injured by anti-personnel mines.
