This concert was held in "Gimnasio Nuevo Panama" in 1979. The black guy that gave his hand to Ruben was confined in Coiba. Ruben helped him while he was studying at the Law School in Panama University. Finally this black guy, who is a Panamanian citizen, obtained his liberty. QUE VIVA MI PATRIA P...

I am a Panamanian who used to live in NY. The first composition was "El Nueve the Enero" in Panama. Ruben used to carry a little notebook with him, while studying at the "Universidad de Panama" Law School. When Ruben had social gatherings in "La Carrasquilla" we know of many songs that were not o...

I am a Panamanian who used to live in NY. I want to clear that Ruben Blades started recording in Panama songs such as "Margarito" & "A Las Seis" with "Los Salvajes del Ritmo". He wrote "El Nueve de Enero" and used to sing in the "Bush and sus Magnificos" band in Panama. His mother was a famous pi...

This song was written by Ruben Blades. There are specific Panamanian places mentioned in this song such as "Chame", "Calidonia", "Veraguas", etc.

QUE VIVA MI PATRIA PANAMA!!!

This song was written by Ruben Blades. Likewise "Cipriano Armenteros" was composed by Ruben Blades mentioning Panamanian places like "Chame", "Llanos de Veraguas", etc. QUE VIVA MI PATRIA PANAMA!!!

The new generations should know how to compose and preserve our real salsa music!!!

Some songs, rhythms, and harmony were extracted from the famous long play named "La Parranda" in Panama Republic. We enjoyed and danced "Pescao" during Carnival time and these rhythms belong to the "comparsas" in Panama (e.g. Los Campesinos del Chorrillo). QUE VIVA PANAMA!!!

Esta cancion me trae buenos recuerdos cuando se armaban esas fiestas en Parque Lefevre alla en Panama. Ruben estaba dando los primeros "pininos" en cuanto a musica se refiere; para despues convetirse en el "Superman" de la salsa, marcando una huella profunda aqui en New York. QUE VIVA PANAMA!!!

Que vivan los barrios de Panama: San Felipe, Plaza Amador, Chorrillo, Plaza Herrera, Las Bovedas, Betania!!! Esta inspiracion viene de esos barrios queridos de mi linda Patria Panama. Saludos a toda esa gente alla en Panama. Tremenda gozadera pa' tiempo de carnaval con Los Campesinos del Chorrill...

COMPONTE CANALLON!!! OJOS DE PERRO AZUL!!!

This a Panamanian who used to live in NY years ago. Please stop making baseless comments. Ruben received musical influence from Papi Arosemena in Panama. In those days "Tito Cowes y su Combo" was a famous band in Panama. Ruben first lived in Miami with his parents and then moved to NY with little...

Don't tell me what to do or what not to do!!! If you don't understand pick up a dictionary!!! This message is to "dudamel23" who doesn't understand that those times in which Panama was under a "dictatorship" are over!!! So don't dictate and don't impose your rules to others and learn to respect!!!

Un beso y un abrazo para la fula mas bella en Panama!!!

Eres especial e inolvidable ... de quien siempre te recuerda.

Se que te volvere a ver pronto.

Of course there is a difference! The heart of the nation is expressed by its music! Panamanian poets are unique and this music doesn't represent the overall spectrum of Panamanian music! When we danced during carnival time with the "Campesinos del Chorrillo" that's the sound of the "real barrios"...

I want to straighten some matters. Where were you guys when Ruben started singing with the "RitPana" & "Salvajes del Ritmo" in my country Panama? Ruben arrived to NY only with $100 due to political persecution!

I consider Ruben a musical genius because he mixed and introduced the "Scottish bagpip...

These are the precious images of the "real barrios" of my beloved country Panama. El Barrio de San Felipe, La Catedral, Plaza Herrera where we were raise up!!! Prohibido olvidar: Son los martires como Ascanio Arosemena y Ricardo Murgas que gritan: bandera, bandera!!! Learn about Panamanian histor...

When I used to live in NY, Ruben was always a humble person. In Manhattan, he used to play some games in those funny "maquinitas", like a regular citizen. This reveals "the greatness" of a man like Ruben. From here, I extend my appreciation and congratulations for the musical talent and for placi...

But there was a "train collision". It is normal when two master musicians have innovative ideas! Separation was inevitable! "El Cazanguero" was written by Ruben and inspired in the Island of Coiba, Panama Republic, my beloved country!!! Escucha este pregon: "Se oye la Cazanga en Coiba de madruga"...

I am a Panamanian who lived in New York, the Mecca of the Salsa Music. De de donde viene ese pregon y ese swing genial? Se origino en los barrios de mi linda patria Panama. Ruben se inicio en Los Salvajes del Ritmo y canto para Bush y sus Magnificos. Tambien tuvo la influencia musical de Papi Aro...

Todos vuelven la mirada hacia la patria querida... Panama siempre te llevo en mi corazon! Saludos a mis compatriotas. Parque Lefreve, Carrasquilla, Betania,

San Felipe, etc. recibe mis abrazos! Este es el toque genial de nuestro compatriota Ruben Blades... "The Salsa Superman"... VIVA PANAMA!!!

Years ago there was a famous Panamanian song named Julia created by a Panamanian & played by a famous band in PR. However, we in Panama never criticized this puertorican band. I am bringing this to the table because it has no sense to criticize others... Ruben, is "the best salsa musician" in Pan...

Mi estimado paisano y compatriota... Ruben... Impartiendo tremenda "catedra musical" a todos los soneros... con mucha clase y cache!... "for all generations"! QUE VIVA MI PATRIA PANAMA!!! Saludos desde U.S. from a real Panamanian!

De donde viene ese "swing" y ese ritmo unico? Se origina y proviene de las calles de los barrios de mi precioso Panama!!! Durante los carnavales se gozaba mucho con los Campesinos del Chorrillo y Ruben siempre tuvo contacto con la gente de Plaza Amador, Plaza Herrera, San Felipe y Carrasquilla! Q...

Para mi hijo el Junior, quien nacio en Panama y me dio el gran privilegio de ser papa por primera vez. Te saludo desde U.S.A. donde quiera que te encuentres.

VIVA MI PATRIA PANAMA!!!

Puro sentimiento y alma de poeta. Tremendo arreglo. Saludos de un compatriota que vive en U.S. Que viva mi querida patria Panama!!!!!

Que viva mi querida patria Panama. Saludos a todos los compatriotas de San Felipe, Barraza, La Catedral, Las Bovedas. Panama jamas te olvido. Aunque a la distancia te llevo metida en mi corazon. From a Good Panamanian and fan of salsa music. Juega y revienta ese cuero!!! Ahi namaaaaa....

New York ha sido "la mecca" de la musica latina. Hay que tener los pantalones bien puestos para abrirse paso en medio de los gigantes de la salsa. Solo Ruben lo pudo hacer con su talento y tenacidad. Cuando vivi en NY note que en una presentacion incluyo la citara Irlandesa en nuestra musica lati...

Guaguanco vale mas que un "mal amor". No te pongas a sollozar por un amor que te dejo. Lo que se fue... se fue. El ayer quedo atras. Dedicada para esa "ingrata" en Panama. Buenos dias "alegria", "felicidad" llego.

Para alguien muy especial alla en Panama: Mi Amor, no quiero decirte ADIOS pero debido a tu indiferencia, frialdad, y desprecio me veo forzado ha hacerlo.

Goodbye, sayonara, so long, ta tai...

Dedicado para todas las mujeres lindas de mi patria, Panama. Especial dedicatoria para alguien muy especial: Esa "barby doll" con esos ojos negros y cuerpo de guitarra.

En Panama si hay salsa de verdad! Que viva mi tierra Panama!

A todos mis compatriotas, en el mes de la Patria: Felicidades Panama!!!

Todos vuelven a ese mismo lugar... donde esta el recuerdo de la infancia... mi querida Panama, "I miss you and all my friends of" San Felipe, San Miguelito, Betania, Villa Caceres, Plaza Amador, Barraza... Que Viva Panama!!!
