YO NO ME LLAMO RUBÉN BLADES
(RUBÉN BLADES IS NOT MY NAME)
Latin American icon Rubén Blades was at the centre of the New York Salsa revolution in the 1970’s. His socially charged lyrics and explosive rhythms brought Salsa music to an international audience. Blades has won 17 Grammys, acted in Hollywood, earned a law degree from Harvard and even run for President of his native Panama. He lives in NY, where he granted us exclusive access to his life at home and on tour. Critically acclaimed director Abner Benaim takes us through Rubén’s 50 year career, revealing that Rubén might still have both musical and political ambitions. This is a film about a living legend and his struggle to come to terms with his legacy.
