Pablo Milanes has died. His music and voice made a huge impression on me. From his unique take on boleros, extraordinary compositions on the verses of Jose Marti, to his iconic popular songs like Yolanda, he gave us emotional depth and musical refinement. Here we are in Havana in 2016. We happened to see him enter a cafe so we took a chance to get this photo. He was kind enough to allow it. May he rest in musical peace.
